The Fifth Surgeon
The Fifth Surgeon | Faith Prize
1 post | 2 read
A lesbian medical romance about the powerful breakthroughs we can't always see. Nadia Keating has barely started her cardiothoracic fellowship training, but she already has the archetype nailed-she's direct, uncompromising, and suffering from a God complex. Before she can focus on her impressive research, deeply closeted Nadia has a personal project: getting her inconvenient attraction to women out of her system. She picks a stranger online for a one-night stand. Ashley Rylan, the chief of Nadia's department, is her polar opposite-sweet, agreeable, and soft-spoken-and the stranger Nadia unwittingly chooses. The two women's meeting is a hostile disaster and they would love nothing more than to never see each other again. However, their paths keep colliding as Nadia embarks on an ambitious experiment that could lead to a historic medical breakthrough. Despite warring egos and the secrets they keep, their connection is powerful and growing. Maybe having sex would help them get over their distraction at work? Or would that just ruin everything?

Mehso-so

This wouldn‘t be my very first choice if I was looking to re-read a lesbian romance, but it did the trick ok. Pretty much what you‘d expect, and still I hoped it‘d be a bit better- like some of the other queer romances I‘ve read this year… I‘m not complaining, it was ok. There was a bit more drama on the romance side than I‘d like, rather than an actual plot (which I obvs prefer)
