Love and Other Jobs, Book 1

De: Devon Atwood

Narrado por: Jake Bordeaux, Bridget Bordeaux

Laurel Brook is not sick.

Sure, she just fell into a shelf of Noodle-Os at the grocery store and startled the unsuspecting patrons, but she's definitely not sick. The problem is, the hot doctor who just caught her in his arms after she lost her balance? He doesn't agree.

Dr. Lachlan Cade can tell Laurel needs help, and even if it means bending the rules, he's going to give it. Laurel is just as determined never to rely on a man again, but that's a hard vow to keep when Lachlan's touch gives her tachycardia and his soothing promises feel like warm honey on her tongue. Despite her misgivings, Laurel finds herself in a predicament with only two choices—go with Dr. Cade to his house for treatment, or rack up a medical bill in the hospital she can't afford.

As Laurel reluctantly learns to accept help and heal, a mysterious threat ends up in Lachlan's inbox, and he has a sinking feeling it has something to do with the reason Laurel refuses to trust in the first place. Suddenly, he isn't just worried about hanging onto the hilarious but sexy patient who tumbled into his arms. He's worried Laurel's wounds run dangerously deep, and if they can't trust each other, they'll both end up scarred.

Thoughtful and Sweet

I was looking forward to this and it didn’t disappoint. Kinda wish it was longer with more development.

Heartwarming romcom

I absolutely devoured this book! Devon Atwood always puts out something amazing and entertaining. This is a fun and sweet, slightly slow burn, romantic comedy, with an interesting romance between a single mom and a hot doctor.
The single mom Laurel is clumsy but does her very best to be there for her daughter and doesn’t like to take handouts. Doctor Cade seems kinda lonely and buries himself in his work, and is immediately enamored by Laurel and her daughter when they come into his ER for a head wound the child got at school. Then he stumbles across Laurel in the grocery store and sees she is extremely sick, like a horrible case of strep and can barely stand up bc her fever is so high sick. He gets her to work things out with her mother so she can take Laurel’s daughter for a few days, and talks Laurel into coming home with him so he can take care of her, bc she cannot afford insurance and doesn’t want to take on more medical bills for herself. He knows this and sees how she struggles and genuinely wants to help her, and is clearly attracted to her as well.
We get both PoVs bouncing between chapters, which I love.
The majority of the books spans about a month or two I think. They fall for each other as Cade tries to help her in any way he can, and they both have to battle with Laurel’s ex as that douchbag(who is off with his new wife who he cheated on Laurel with) and still wants to control every move Laurel makes. We get some spicy scenes about halfway through, and they are definitely worth the wait!! Think hot doctor fantasies come true!
This is the first in a series of interconnected standalone rom-coms called Love and other Jobs, and I’m pretty sure I know who the next book will be about. I hope we get at least a little glimpse at Laurel and Cade in the other books. While I know that’s how these books go, just like the Twisted Love series is, I do wish I had more of them! I loved their relationship that much!

I rarely have time for physical books these days, so I was so excited that this one finally released! I can’t wait for the others to come out on audiobook, so I’ll probably have to just read the actual books, but I’ll decide to the audiobooks either way once they come out. And it’s a great way to get you interested in the series by listening to this one first! I enjoyed this book sooo much and it made me feel so cozy and giddy!
If you haven’t yet, I would definitely check out her other books! I believe the first in her fantasy series is also out on audiobook now! So check that one out if you prefer a fantasy romance!
