With a death bed promise to his fiancée, he's driven to open a transplant center in her hometown, and arrives at Deerborne County General Hospital.

Will the white lie Stone tells Faith jeopardize the love they find?

From the Inside Flap
Faith opened the door and there he stood. She'd seen Dr. Lassiter in a suit and tie before. He didn't always wear scrubs while in the unit. But she should've known after her traitorous reaction to him lately, that tonight would be different--more personal.
Her breath caught.
Okay, to be fair, she did want his body. She could admit that freely to herself.
His honey blonde hair was damp and curled slightly at his collar. From the wet look, he'd waited until the last minute to get ready. Nothing vain about this man. The dark dinner jacket he wore accentuated his powerful shoulders and broad chest. The white shirt set a sharp contrast to his tan skin. Her fingers itched to loosen the simple black silk tie and unbutton the top buttons of his shirt to get to what lay underneath.
"Hello, Faith."
Slowly exhaling, she silently whistled and gazed into his eyes. Jeez, get a grip. Here she was undressing him before the evening had even begun. But, the heat radiating from the brown depths set off fire alarms in her brain.
Finally. Melted chocolate. Her gaze flew to his lips. How would he taste?
Try as she might, there was no shutting out reality. Her stomach quivered in tandem with her thoughts.
Oh, my.
"Hi, Dr. Lassiter," she said, breathless.
This is not a date. This is not a date. This is not...
His lips curved.

Fun and Romanctic Read,
By Naughty Editions Reviews (Toledo Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Doctor's Deception (Paperback)
I found this book to be a cute and romantic book. It may have had a bunch of medical terms I was not sure of, but it didn't take from the story. I fell in love with Stone and Faith and was cheering them on all the way to the end. The characters were well developed and I didn't have to question anything. I recommend Ms. Grieve's book to anyone who wants a little laugh and a lot of romance. I now want to know what happens with their friends Jolene and Chad.

The Doctor's Deception = Sweet and Hot Story,
By Erin Thompson (New York state, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Doctor's Deception (Kindle Edition)
I could not put this story down. It had all the elements I look for in a romance novel. It was funny, emotional and sexy too. Stone was written brilliantly as was Faith. You could feel the characters come to life right off the pages. I cannot wait to read another book by this author. This one is on my keeper list.
