Readers always ask where I get my ideas.
With The Burnout Cure, I didn’t have far to look. While Wolf, Lily, and the characters who inhabit their world are fictional, the issues of physician burnout, depression, and suicide are very real—as are the sobering statistics that Lily quotes about how many physicians are affected.
The first seeds of this story were planted back when I was a young doctor-in-training. As Lily, the heroine of The Burnout Cure describes in the book, the hours and work condit ...more

I volunteered to review this book without any promises about the review (the rating or the posting).
When I first started this book my excitement was quickly overshadowed by the feeling of having facts, legal terms and actions being shoved in my face. I pushed forward because I wanted to see how the overall story would play out. I was happy I did.
The following is my personal opinion and thoughts about many aspects of this book and its author.

The Burnout Cure is billed as a contemporary romance/medical romance. Yes, it’s a love story. Yes, it includes smoking hot sex scenes. Yes, it has a happy ending. But it also has a serious message that author Jill Blake deftly interweaves with the plot and character development, in a way that enhances the story.
Full disclosure: I recently finished residency, so the world described in The Burnout Cure is very familiar to me. Blake is spot on with her rendering of the high-stress, high-demand, sou ...more

I borrowed The Burnout Cure via Kindle Unlimited and really enjoyed it. I also learned a lot about physician burnout. I'd heard that medical residents have to work around the clock with minimal sleep, but this romance really brings home the toll it takes in terms of depression, exhaustion, and the possibility of something as horrible as suicide for residents and doctors.

I received a free complimentary book through Reading Deals and voluntarily reviewed it.
When I first started reading this book, I was wondering if I was reading a factual book about “physician burnout.” Since I knew this book was fiction, I knew that this could not be true. However, I had never read anything by this author before, so I thought that, maybe, this author was just, overtly, concentrating on an issue that was very dear to her heart while tying it up in a small fiction story.

Jill Blake has a purpose to show the struggles physicians have when they feel burnout out at the pace their profession runs. They aren’t allowed to complain about the hours because it gives them bad reviews and if they show any form of mental weakness or reservations they could be ostracized without getting the help they desperately need. Often the only way they see out is to quit either the profession or end their life. Suicide is scary and it shakes a community when it is a doctor, they are th

I received the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a different story which starts with two doctors, one a practicing hospitalist and the other a researcher who studies doctor's burnout and suicide. Although they are instantly attracted to each other, they seem to disagree on her work in the area of doctor suicide and other issues. It makes for an interesting dynamic and it is something that I knew nothing about.

The Burnout Cure is a romance with a message- doctors need to have relaxation time too and recognize, manage and overcome their burnout symptoms. The story has other subtle messages too such as making use of humor to reach wider audience and keeping the listeners engaged and interested. The story obviously has the romantic element. The story is hot and sexy.and has the regular spice element, but it is the varied messages that makes the book above average.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. I loved this book. It is a shame that it is a work of fiction, because physician burnout and suicides are a real issue today. As a romance novel, this book was super! Lily and Wolf are a great couple and have a lot of spunk and spice between them. I cannot wait to read more books from this author.

“The Burnout Cure” is a fast, sexy read that includes several scenes that could set the pages on fire.
