After nearly a decade as a professional drummer, Diana Petrell leaves her rock-star life behind to continue her residency in emergency medicine. She's determined not to let anything stop her--not even falling in love with her aloof mentor, Dr. Emily Barnes. Emily has only ever focused on her career as a senior attending in the emergency department, and she isn't happy about having to babysit a resident with a ten-year gap in her résumé, no matter how intriguing she is. But every time they work together, it's not just their patients' heartbeat that gets a little irregular. Soon, the once-clear lines between work and personal life begin to blur. When Diana's unorthodox secret past is revealed, putting her job in jeopardy, Emily has to choose between her career and her relationship. A lesbian romance that asks how much we'd risk for love.

4 Stars.

Huh. I read this last year in 2020, but I was surprised to find that I never added it to my Goodreads list. But since I wanted to read the "sequel" Heart Failure, I decided to read the first couple of chapters of this book to remind myself about the book. Well, I ended up re-reading the entire book.

I enjoyed it as much as I remembered. But I'm partial to opposites attract and Ice Queen characters and this had both. You have Dr. Diana Petrell, who had quit her ER residency to continue her career as a rock drummer. Now, ten years later she has returned to finish up her last year of her residency. The Ice Queen, is Dr. Emily Barnes who is the head of ER and is not trilled to have to take on a new resident, Dr. Petrell with a 10 year career gap. Two great characters and an enjoyable romance.

I love medial romances, and this was one of the best I've read so far. I was a bit concerned about the whole former rock star stuff at first, I was worried it would feel artificial in a way, but it actually worked really well. A very good read all in all.
