The Doctor (Doctor #1) By: E.L. Todd

     Pepper's husband left her. After five years together, he realized he was gay. Once the anger had faded away, there was nothing but love behind. This man is still her best friend and Pepper wants him in her life. So she moved across the hall so they can still be as close as they always have.
     Then his brother moves in for a couple of weeks, a man Pepper has never met. He relocated to Seattle to work as an ER doctor at the local hospital. And he's NOTHING like his brother. The strong and silent type, he looks at Pepper with a gaze so fierce it's like he hates her. Every time they're alone in a room together, the chemistry is so suffocating Pepper can barley breathe. The guy never wears a shirt around the apartment so that makes it a million times worse...or better depending on how you look at it.
     But this man is off limits. He's the only man in the world Pepper can't have. And he can't have her either. So they'll have to keep pretending there's nothing there, even though there is.

     I have had The Doctor in my to-read pile for a while now and when I had originally got this book I wasn't aware that each book in the series went together. I thought by the titles that each book was a standalone now having finished reading The Doctor I'm not sure that I want to continue on with this series. While The Doctor was a decent enough read it wasn't good enough for me to want to continue on with this series. I wasn't engrossed enough with the characters to make me want to invest more of my time into finding out what happens next.
