I love the ebook and paperback so I tried the audiobook. God did Nicole Vilencia mess this one up. The voices were much to similar in sound, so I most of the time didn’t know who of the mc’s was talking. And the telling voice was also similar. The voice of Pearce was much to high. It should have been husky like the story said. So nope. Returned this audio and will stick to the ebook or paperback. The audio I give 2 stars.

Not just a toaster oven, a chrome-plated toaster oven.
I enjoyed listening to this Radclyffe classic. She took the time to develops solid leads in Wynter and Pearce and built a story with a lot of depth thanks to strong secondary characters and her vast knowledge of the inner workings of large hospitals.
There were times when the telling of life as a resident overwhelmed the showing of a surgeon's life. Also Wynter was too good to be true. Almost a caricature of the clueless hetero woman discovering her attraction to the lesbian Chief Resident with a reputation for being a player.
In the end, what saves the book is the growth seen in said play girl, Pearce. It was a pleasure to watch her learn to trust and to care for one woman. Her relationship with Wynter develops slowly and pushes all of the doubts, loneliness and isolation felt by Pearce into the past.

I rather enjoyed this book. It is well written in typical Radclyffe style and holds enough suspense to have you not put the book down until you finished reading it. I found the characters realistic-in a romance novel kind of way of course-and their troubles and worries believable. If you are looking for the perfect read on a rainy Sunday afternoon, this is the book for you.

Liked the first half quite a bit. Liked the second half less; spent it frowning due to a specific moment of biphobia.
You know, I'd really start enjoying lesbian romances more if these lesbian characters in them stopped acting like sleeping with women who also enjoy sleeping with men was such a gross thing. It would also be pretty great is these lesbian characters stopped calling these women they perceive as bi "straight women".
Can we also just have more bi characters in these lesbian romances?

WTF is up with all the sexual harassment and assault, with scenes (more than) bordering on non-consensual in this hospital? And the writing makes it out to be normal and okay. Normal because the victim of it is a sort of maybe womanizer until the story starts. And the only reason she's not okay with it is because it's not the type of "release" she wants (i.e. "making love" to the new doctor).
I'm sorry but this is nowhere near sexy or okay.
