About this audiobook
Jamie is proud of everything he’s achieved. A consultant anesthetist and the Medical Education Director – he’s a pretty big deal. So when one of his medical students falls asleep, right in the middle of a tutorial, he is furious. He’s a bloody good teacher, damn it!
Maybe he could have been a little more understanding. Maybe he didn’t have to try and humiliate her. But the shock of how beautiful this particular student was when she finally opened her eyes, and his inappropriate reaction, only fueled his anger. He’s tired of lame excuses from wild party animals burning the candle at both ends, and he’s going to make an example of this one.
For Libby, pride is a luxury and beauty is currency. Pregnant at seventeen and an aspiring doctor, she couldn’t afford to be proud, so she cashed in on her looks instead. She will beg, borrow or steal to achieve her dreams and give her daughter the life she deserves, even if she has to forgo sleep – even if she has to leave her dignity behind.
Only now that she’s not just sitting in lecture theatres like her first two years of medical school, now that she’s working in a real hospital, Libby is realizing that the thread she’s been hanging onto for so long may be about to snap. The last thing she needs is to have riled the gorgeous, judgmental Head of Medical Education. But there’s only so far you can push yourself, only so much pressure you can be under until you break. Libby’s been on that cliff edge for a while; her health may just tip her over.
A kick in the shin from a four-year-old girl and a confrontation with her tearful, exhausted mother soon forces Jamie to see what a bastard he’s been. Libby may not accept his help, but he’s relentless when he wants something, and it’s not long before he realizes that this mother and daughter belong with him. So when a stag night he’s on ends up in the best strip club in England and he sees who the main attraction is, his reaction is explosive.
Despite everything, Libby finds she still has some pride left. This man has made her feel small twice now. He won’t be getting a third shot. No matter how gorgeous he is, no matter how persistent …

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a fantastic story with great characters and a loved narrator. However, there is a negative review that criticizes the portrayal of an autistic character and the behavior of one of the main characters. Overall, the book is engaging and the protectiveness of the male protagonist towards the female protagonist is swoon-worthy. Despite initial skepticism, readers are pleasantly surprised by the sweetness of the story. This book has the potential to become a favorite of the year.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really enjoyed this book will def have a re read
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Highly ableist towards an obviously stereotypically autistic character which was pretty upsetting to have to listen to. Jamie was an arrogant ass who never faced any consequences for his behavior. Overall disappointing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic story. Realistic and real. great characters and loved the narrator! Will definitely look for more from this author!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I read hundreds of books a year, and grant less than a handful of five stars.
What helped this book make the list?! It’s hard to pinpoint, but for one thing, I don’t have a single criticism to offer! This book kept me engaged from beginning to end, and the fierce protectiveness the H felt for the h, even before he understood it, is the swoony stuff of which all my teenage daydreams were made.
I know it’s way early to be predicting this, but…this might even end up being my favorite book of the year!
Would never have predicted that a book about a stripper would be so incredibly sweet, but here we are…1 person found this helpful
