Description
Skilled surgeon Veronica Mallick runs her London hospital department like she runs her surgeries: with hawkish efficiency. Then her perfect world is turned upside down by the arrival of a new Head of Trauma.
Cassie Taylor is a brash, no-nonsense army surgeon, fresh from the front lines, and trying to find her way in civilian life. She’s all action and sharp edges, not too interested in rules. She’s even less interested in bureaucracy, or playing nice with her uptight, paper-pushing colleague, Veronica.
While they’re circling each other warily at St. Sophia’s hospital, Cassie becomes entangled in some shady financial dealings.
Their shared search for the truth draws them closer together, sparking heated moments as they try to see justice done. But in exposing a scandal, can they also find some common ground? How will they both deal with being attracted to a woman they don’t even like?
An enemies-to-lovers lesbian romance about sexy, smart doctors cutting to the heart of what matters.

I read this for the I Heart Sapphic 2025 Reading Challenge for the prompt Medical.
As a rule, I am not a big fan of medical/hospital stories but I love Lola Keeley’s books (she got me to read, and love, a tennis based story and I can’t stand the sport) so I was absolutely willing to try this. Great decision on my part, if I do say so myself.
Quick Thoughts:
– I do love that Lola Keeley’s books are diverse in more than just ethnicity or sexuality but also life experiences. Having all three in her books does makes for interesting characters to read about
– Cassie cracked me up so many times
– This is the first hospital story I’ve read after reading one with zombies and I kept waiting for them to show up. Oops
– I adored the best friend in this book (whose name I’m blanking on right now)
– Normally I’m a little iffy with books that have teenagers (when they aren’t the protagonists of course) in them because they are either short old adults or tall toddlers but the kid in this actually felt like a teenager
– There are two reasons I knocked a star off. One, if I’m going to read an enemies to lovers book, I want to feel like they are actually at odds. This felt like they were just greatly annoyed with each other. Two, the big drama at the end was wrapped up a little too quickly. I would have liked it to be a little more intense
– Gabrielle Baker did a wonderful job narrating this book and I was happy to see that I have a half dozen more books to listen to her read. Score!
Overall I, of course, enjoyed this book. I’ve enjoyed every Lola Keeley book I’ve read. They are such a delight and have wonderful characters. This was so much fun and worth the time to read.
