Huge thanks Lexi Davis and Netgalley for the ARC—what a wild ride this was!

This book dives into taboo territory with a dark, twisty romance between a doctor and his patient. He’s known her since they were kids… but does she have any clue who he is now? Nope. The once-quiet, chubby boy has majorly leveled up—think broody, respected doc vibes. Meanwhile, she’s not the queen bee anymore, and the power dynamic? Flipped hard. It’s intense, messy, and totally addictive.

This was my first Lexi Davis read as well my first dip into the dark MEDICAL romance pool, and while some of the steamy scenes weren’t exactly my flavor, I still appreciated the bold, unapologetic vibe. That’s the magic of dark romance—it pushes boundaries and keeps you on your toes! Some parts did seem a bit rushed, but somehow it still worked.

Overall? A solid 3.5 stars (4 stars below because ...well you know.) and a total slay.!
Would I recommend it? If you like taboo, tension, and a little emotional whiplash—absolutely.
