Emily has only ever focused on her career as a senior attending in the emergency department, and she isn't happy about having to babysit a resident with a 10-year gap in her resume, no matter how intriguing she is.

But every time they work together, it's not just their patients' heartbeat that gets a little irregular. Soon, the once-clear lines between work and personal life begin to blur.

Sometimes the cover attracts you to the soul.

Diana is beginning her residency after a nine year break. Emily will be the Dr who is her mentor. Can they keep their secrets and avoid the growing attraction? The connection between the two is so full of sparks. The story of those nine years, and Emily's life unfolds the most magnificently delicious story. Abby Craden gives life to these beautiful women and the cast at the hospital. This will be a relisten often. I loved it.

Wonderful storytelling!

I enjoy medical tv shows and books and this debut novel fits the bill brilliantly. Written with complex characters, Emily is rather cold and brusque as the attending physician who has to mentor and supervise Diana, the resident, who spent the last ten years as a drummer in a renowned rock band.

The writing is superb as each of these women face the demons of their pasts and navigate the drama among their colleagues. I really enjoyed the narration by the fabulous Abby Craden and am excited to read/listen to another from this new talent, Chris Zett!

Loved it!

I loved Irregular Heartbeat. Great combination of romance and medical drama. Abby Craden makes the listening that much better.

Fantastic!

Wow I loved this. I read Heart Failure before this where Diana and Emily were minor characters so I loved getting their full story here in Irregular Heartbeat. I should have read Irregular Heartbeat first but they are both amazing either way. This was a perfect medical romance. Chris Zett is such a great author and Abby Craden is the greatest narrator of all time in my opinion.

Heart wrenching read!!

The connection was so irresistible. Love this read and the narration 🥰. Ready to listen to another one.

love can some times be challenging.

this was an awesome story full of intrgue and determination. I loves stories by Chris Zett she maintains your interest.

Finally a tame lesbian romance novel

This book. I have had it for awhile. It’s my second purchase of a lesbian romance novel and I didn’t grab my attention fast enough. Plus I’m ashamed to say it took a long time for me to realize that Abby Craden is freakin fantastic. It took listening to her narrator another book. This book her voice is low and not super cute for both MCs. Kind of boring but after I knew of Craden’s talents (after reading all of her Georgia Beers books 😍) I was way more patient with her. Yes, the narrator is a huge thing to me. This story especially. It’s not a typical lesbian romance novel. For example, there’s no slowwwww burn romance for 2/3 of the book. The characters kissed pretty early on and there was very little fighting with your feelings and trying to deny them, no. There’s also no freakin breakup 3/4 through the book! Seriously. Once this couple is together, they stay together. The denouement is NOT the two MCs forgiving one or the other and getting together again. That is huge as far as lesbian romance novels go. I can only think of one or two other novels when the MCs don’t break up and for those, it’s usually due to them not getting together till the end.

This book was completely refreshing. Not too much medical stuff, which I fully appreciate. That stuff is boring in a novel. In my opinion. Not too much drama. Just enough. The sex scenes are tasteful. One complaint is why does 90% of lesbian romance novels have to be extremely descriptive with the MCs pubic hair. This one was overly descriptive for me. I, and most the lesbians I’ve been with prefer completely shaved. I wish I could ask these authors why they add that tiny detail in so much. Anyway minor complaint, no biggie. Great book.

Fantastic medical romance with a twist

Abby Craden as the narrator sold this audio book for me. The story was amazing...different...unique from other similar lesbian medical romances. Never thought I would enjoy this genre written by an author other than Radclyffe. I will be looking for other books by Chris Zett.

loved it!

its wonderful to read a lesfic story where the couple discover love, how life gets in the way and the solution process. plus, abbey craden!

First but not last Zett book

Really like how the dream sequence played into the crazy circumstances of the story. Good character development. Would have liked to see Emily admit the dream to Diana, but I still like it without
