🩺 The first reviews are in! + An exclusive sneak peek inside...

Hi Reader!

It has been a whirlwind week over here! I officially sent out the Advance Reader Copies (ARCs) for Bedside Manner, and I’ll admit, I always hold my breath a little bit when I hit "send" on a new story.

But the first few reviews have already started trickling in, and I am honestly floored by the reaction to Dr. Maxwell York and Dr. Jax O'Connell. It looks like the "Ice King" and the "Trauma Cowboy" are already stealing hearts!

Here is what early readers are saying:

5/5
"I truly enjoyed this! It had me laughing, it had me cursing a certain Sterling, and it had me gushing over the Ice King and the Trauma Cowboy. Two totally opposite men who work extremely well together... Preston was a favorite as well, even with his small part in the story. And Alistair was a riot!"
5/5
"From the first chapter, I was hooked on the uptight Dr. York … and anxious to see how Dr. O’Connell worms his way under Max’s skin. I have cried, and laughed throughout Bedside Manner... For a quick, easy, fun, passionate and heart-warming read … pick up Bedside Manner; you won’t be disappointed."

Hearing that readers are loving the side characters (especially Preston and Alistair!) just makes my day.

An Exclusive Preview

Because I can’t wait for you to meet these two, I wanted to share something special with you. Below is an exclusive excerpt of the first three chapters of Bedside Manner.

Step into St. Jude's Hospital, meet the Ice King, and see what happens when a little chaos (and a lot of corn chips) invades his sterile world.

Can’t wait to see who crosses the tape line first?

Bedside Manner hits Kindle, Paperback, and your local library on January 19, 2026! If you want to find out exactly how Dr. O'Connell handles the "Exclusion Zone" (and how Max handles the chaos), make sure to lock in your copy today.

Happy reading!
