Drey Banerjee is a head nurse on the Cardiac floor of a major hospital and Dr. Brady MacDonald is the new Cardiologist on staff. When they meet there is an immediate spark of attraction between them. Drey finds Brady totally hot and isn't afraid to say so. While Brady is more reserved than Drey he's definitely interested in the nurse with the big beautiful dark eyes and the great laugh.
This was a fun story. Both Drey and Brady are likable characters. They're handsome sexy men with careers they b More...

I feel like I’ve been fool again. However, what the blurb says is exactly what happens. I don’t know, I guess I was just expecting…more. There were things that Zachary only scratched the surface of, making Heart Doctor look like a PWP novel. At 132 pages, I was hoping more would have happened than a string of sex scenes.

Simple but sweet romance without a lot of conflict
Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.
Rating: 7/10
PROS:
- Sweet characters--not just the two leads, but most of the supporting characters also. I get a little tired of reading about hateful, homophobic people--not because I find them cliché or unbelievable or anything, but because I just hate that people like that really exist.
- The only real tension in the story comes from the characters’ worry about people at th More...

I've not read a book by this author before, but when I saw Heart Doctor at Torquere and read the blurb, I decided I was really in the mood for a 'heartwarming and delightful tale' and snapped the book up. Well, let's just say that the blurb is slightly misleading. It would have been more accurate had it described the book as 'raunchy and sex filled' because that is basically what you get.
The book begins with Brady's first day as a doctor on the cardiac ward of a hospital. He's not been there lon More...

Wow.
I didn't hate it. I just really wish someone had mentioned that the book was a novel-length PWP. The summary made it sound like there was a story in it somewhere but, sadly, that just wasn't true. Nothing went wrong for these guys. From meeting each other, to their first date (the only time outside of work or a public restaurant that they didn't have sex), to being excused from the no-frat rules at work, to moving in with each other, absolutely everything worked out, no tension, no fighting More...

Main Characters:
Drey is out and proud, loving his job as head nurse in the cardiac floor at which Brady is a new arrival. He's half-Indian and loves to cook... and that's about the extent of what we know about him. He's sassy and upbeat, but in a rather generic way; there's nothing in particular that makes him stand out as anything but half of an erotic equation.
Brady is equally difficult to get a hold on. Although he's initially more interested in circumspection than Drey, his rules quickly fly More...

Awww...this book was sweet! Brady is the new doctor in a hospital floor where Drey works as the head nurse. You could feel the chemistry from the start. They started to ignore it at first and take it slow since they worked together and all. But after their first date, they could not fight it anymore.
And let me just say that when they did get together...It was hot! Not only sexy hot, but in an all around way. They'd talk, kid around or banter while having sex or just hanging out. The dialog was e More...

One thing that I almost always find in a novel by Drew Zachary is the “easiness” of the characters, they are usually just a little over the average gay men, with ordinary job and a comfortable house in the suburbs. Maybe they are still young, students or just graduate, and the nice home in the suburbs is in their future. They are your neighbour, your brother, your son… and for this reason you can easily plunge in their love story, with a smile on your face, and enjoying their home-made love. But More...

Well, I’ll read most anything by Drew Zachary, partly because they are set in Canada and it gives me a patriotic thrill. LOL Story of a new cardiologist who falls for the cardiac unit head nurse who is half Indian half white so this could be considered IR I suppose. He cooks mostly Indian food and they talk about what he looks like a lot and some about his family. I liked the characters muchly, especially Drey who is totally “Rainbow Boy” at work as some of the other nurses call him. It was basi More...

When new Doctor Brady MacDonald turns up at City hospital little did he know that he had just walked into the domain of one Drey Banerjee. Drey is no shy wallflower and makes his intention known from the moment he meets Brady. With little more than office politic to get in their way they have quite a sweet time getting to know each other.
The people that they both work with however are more than friends and they are also gossips and they may end up causing more problem for the two than they actua More...

Drew Zachary is quickly becoming a must read author for me. I have read several of Drew’s books and I’ve enjoyed all of them immensely. Heart Doctor was no exception. It has some of Drew’s trademark humor, a fast paced storyline and two heroes who I really loved devoting several hours too.

not too much plot going on, head nurse and doctor getting together, things evolve...
unfortunately, this reads like the typical stuff written by a guy. don't get me wrong, guys can be great authors, but they often define a "hot story" by the amount of sex scenes they can cram in. the way they write sex is often rather technical, describing what's how big, what's going where and how often. this is no exception.
well, the sex got boring after a while and there isn't really much else going on...

Ok this book has ALOT of sex. But it doesnt detract from the story. Instead the author uses the sex to show the timeline of their romance. And there WAS a romance mixed in with all the sex and I did enjoy the story.
I wish the author might have taken out a sex scene or two so that we could have seen a bit more regular stuff.
But I do recommend this story - especially if you are in the mood for alot of shmex.

Sweet easy read!
A head nurse on the cardiology ward and the new doctor on the floor hit it off! Again and again!
There is a lot of sex in this one, it it's a nice light read, with no conflict or angst or real plot, except two nice guys getting it on and getting together!

Doctor Brady and Nurse Drey fall in love while working together at the City Hospital.
This is a PRETTY smutty and cute story. No angst and the plot was pretty light stuff. Characters were likable but there was not much depth. Good in between books book.
Fun, sweet with mind meltingly hot (and kinda dirty) sex...Bowchikabowow :0P

This was a cute, sweet story that is light on conflict and angst. Both Brady and Drey are adorable, and their senses of humor blend into their love scenes. I'll be reading more by this author as soon as possible.

I second everything Jenre said - go read her review! (Oh, but I did think it was "heartwarming and delightful" in addition to being way sex filled. It was super cute.)

3.25 stars
Fun, light, enjoyable. Sometimes I thought the dialogue ran away with itself, but the story was still fun and I enjoyed it. I'm excited to read Emergency!

Drey and Brady, head nurse and new doctor, meet at work and start a very hot and uncomplicated relationship. Lots of sexy scenes and just enough story arc to keep you reading. The right book for the right mood for me, nice and comforting without too much fuss.

3.5/5 stars. This book was weird for me. On one hand it was very realistic with its emotions shared between the hero/hero. However, on the other hand it was disney-tastic in it's unrealism. I still enjoyed the book, but part of me wished for a little more drama in the end. No, there was no pun intended with 'in the end'. Yes, this book is about two men in a romantic relationship. Not your cup of tea? Don't read it :)

This book took me some time to finish. It was not too bad but or too good. It was average gay novel about average men, but I think this is what readers likes. Not some superhuman, supernatural or too unbelievable characters, readers like life and male nurse and doctor romance could happen and it is happening regardless gender. The story was simple but sweet. It was enjoyable to read it, but I will not return to it.

Too sweet and somewhat boring. I even found myself skimming through some of the sexscenes at the end....

Nice, romantic story with no real conflict. Well developed characters as usual, but where's the plot? Everything was too easy for these guys. Overall, it was somewhat entertaining but it needed either the HOT chemistry of "On Fire", the sweet angst of "Eye Spy" or the adventure of "Jericho Jones" to make it worth my while.

This was a sweet story. There wasn´t a lot of plot, we mostly got to follow the guys build their relationship.

Liked this story a good bit. Will continue the series as I want fluff with little angst.
