Doctor Love: A Lesbian/Sapphic Medical Romance
She built her life on control.
Until one resident made her lose it.
Dr. Maggie Laurel is Oakridge Hospital’s most respected attending physician—brilliant, composed, and completely untouchable. Six years after losing her wife, she doesn’t do messy. She doesn’t do vulnerable. And she definitely doesn’t cross professional lines.
Then Dr. Evelyn Brooks walks into her ER.
Evie is fearless, stubborn, and dangerously compassionate. She challenges Maggie in front of staff. Pushes back in the OR. Looks at her like she sees past the armor—and wants what’s underneath.
What starts as friction turns into something far more dangerous.
Late-night consults. Charged glances over surgical masks. A stolen moment in an on-call room that changes everything.
Because Evie isn’t just another resident.
She’s temptation. She’s risk. She’s the one thing Maggie swore she’d never allow herself again.
When a complaint threatens Maggie’s career and their secret relationship is dragged into the light, Maggie must protect the reputation she rebuilt from grief… or fight for the woman who makes her feel alive for the first time in years.
Evie refuses to be hidden. Refuses to be anyone’s shame.
And Maggie has never been very good at losing.
Doctor Love is a steamy, forbidden sapphic medical romance featuring an attending/resident power dynamic, workplace tension, emotional repression, and a hard-earned happily ever after.

A Wonderfully Complicated Medical Drama
I love reading about the incredible women in medicine. Grace Parkes creates superb dramas with very believable women doctors. I loved her development of Eve and Maggie’s relationship and how they learned about each other and sacrificed to be together.

choosing love..
It’s always nice when an author inserts simple truths we tend to forget. We can’t control life, what people think or say about us. That our greatest lessons come from our most difficult experiences. That we should choose happiness.
In case it’s not obvious I really liked this book. Besides the simple truths the story was compelling, and well written.

Unexpected
To living or to surviving. Parker writes of loss and love. The characters are truthfully written to show vulnerability , fear and hope. Despite rumors and meddling, can Maggie and Evie allow bravery and love to lead them ?

This series addresses many different women with very different needs & expectations. This one dealt with death & love & differences in between in a subdued way which I think is good. 👍🏻

I found this one lacking. Two grown women who are doctors having to stay away from one another at work just seemed like two teenagers being kept away from each other by religious homophobic parents.
