Book Review: Doctor's Secret by Lyz Kelley

An emotional novel filled with everyday hero stories from Lyz Kelley, the award-winning author of Blinded.

McKenzie Carver is not a miracle worker.

How is she supposed to deal with the obnoxious, self-important, sexy surgeon that won’t listen to reason? 

The obstinate doctor is putting her family name at risk with his over-the-top demands and bullish nature. But he's her responsibility, her family says, and she must find a way to keep him in line. If she doesn't, he won't get the hospital operating room—the robotic suite her family has funded—functional.

Garrett Branston is a workaholic with a sharp wit and irresistible charm—but his charm isn't working on gorgeous McKenzie Carver. She might be suggesting he chill, but the attraction between them is anything but cold.

When she tells him he needs some serious PR intervention and suggests a fake engagement to redeem his reputation, he agrees, as long as she's the one to pose as his fiancee.

But Garrett is still hiding something, and McKenzie fears his secrets will ruin everything her family has built.

My Review:

I recommend you read Billionaire’s Secret first. I didn’t and so a lot of this book came as a complete surprise to me. I have, however, proven that this book stands perfectly well on its own without the previous story. Both McKenzie and Garrett have ocean liners full of emotional baggage they haven’t dealt with. It’s affecting every interaction they have no matter who it’s with. Because of the amount of baggage this pair is dealing, my heart broke for them on a pretty regular basis throughout their story. They’re constantly pushing each other’s buttons, both on purpose and by accident. They drive each other to want to be better people, but McKenzie and Garrett are also prone to triggering the worst reactions in each other. I loved the way this story ends and there are lots of extended family I want to read stories about now. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
