We first met Doc and Nora in the first Bodhi Beach book by S.M. Lumetta. We knew they had a history, and we knew it was complicated. And boy was it. Nora is a hardened woman but the author skillfully makes her not only believable but sympathetic. And Doc… what’s not to love about this reformed bad boy? The book has all the feels, laughter, sadness and sighs.
And there is another winner by S.M. Lumetta !
Doc is the second book in the Bodhi Beach Series.While Doc can easily be read as a standalone, there are only a few cross overs, I recommend to read the books in order. You´ll have a better understanding. The first book in the series,Fox tells Sophie and Fox´s story.
Nora Bennett needs no man – except her ex.
Declan – Dex – Wellesley can´t get her out of his head. He wants Nora, she´s the only one that got away.
These two have a chemistry through the roof high. Finally he convinces her to give dating him a try.
Nora is a strong woman, she´s practically broke and homeless, but she doesn´t give up and her friends stand by her side. The thing with Doc is a totally another matter, they fight and hurt each other deeply.
Favorite Quote: ” .. punishing yourself for hoping was like slapping someone for making you happy. ”
I literally just finished this book and can´t say how much I love the story and the characters. Book one, Fox was a read I greatly enjoyed and I love Doc and Nora´s story too. You´ll find a great story, wonderful characters and another australian hunk in Doc. 5 stars.
I heart Doc & Nora!
This story was such an emotional, angst, sexy hell of a ride.
Um yeah I can’t quite look at certain cars the same way again!
Okay, I was on fire with the interactions of Doc and Nora.
Nora is a strong headed woman who has a past that keeps her from moving forward when it comes to relationships, especially with Doc. There are times I loved her, hated her and felt for her.
Doc is a smart, handsome, sexy, fun loving and super swoony Aussie man that I could not get enough of. Nora can step aside and let us have Doc to ourselves. No but seriously she is one lucky lady landing a man like Doc.
I’d gladly stay in bed all day with him too if he was mine.
Author S.M. Lumetta brought us another couple that you will laugh, fall in love and want to be with.
Go One Click and be ready to get your heart soaring for Doc!

This book was the perfect blend of funny and sexy. The characters had so much snark that I couldn’t help laughing at them. Doc was such a sexy, caring man, and his patience with Nora was fantastic. Nora had some demons she was battling, and even though she tried hard not to, she was slowly falling for Doc. I loved the way they played off each other, teasing and joking around and giving each other hell, all the while falling for each other.
The side characters were so much fun, too! I loved how Doc and Fox razzed each other, and the way Nora reacted to Sophie and Cam. I can’t wait to go back and read Fox, and I hope there are more Bohdi Beach books coming out in the future. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but it’s certainly not going to be the last.
