Blurb:

Destined to be together, an extremely driven neurosurgeon and a smiley dental hygienist have their meet-cute in her ICU room after she undergoes a craniotomy. At first glance, the attraction he feels for her is unmistakable. They share a connection that’s more than just physical. Thankfully, she isn’t his patient.

After several chance run-ins, Grayson learns how incredible Kaitlyn is. She’s not like anyone else he’s ever met. From their first kiss, he knows one thing: what’s happening between them is something special. He wants more, but does she feel the same?

Kaitlyn knows Dr. Grayson Michaels is different, but to her, pursuing something with him rides the line of being taboo. He works with her doctor, but that fact doesn’t diminish her excitement when he asks her out. The chemistry between them is stifling, and stretches beyond anything cellular. She wants to explore it, but will he?

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. I enjoyed the connection between Kaitlyn and Grayson. I found them to be a cute couple. Their pasts were different, and they both had moved away from family to start their lives. My heart felt for the coldness of his parents and upbringing, and I loved her mother. The descriptions of their dates around Alaska allowed me to visualize the actual spots. A wonderful story, though it did move slowly at time.
