Wonderful love story.
This is a great book that that I ended up reading in one go. When Elise took her son Jaden to hospital after a fall he had a school there was an immediate attraction when she met Ben the hot Doctor treating her son. They met again unexpectedly at a mutual friends party & they couldn’t deny the sexual chemistry between them but they both knew that nothing else could happen as he was the doctor treating her son. Even though it was forbidden they couldn’t stay away & his feelings for both her & Jaden only grew deeper but his past was about to come in & bulldoze its way in shattering both their lives. I was desperately hoping that they would be strong enough to get through it together.

This is sweet romance with a side of steam and is perfect for the holiday season
Dr Ben Parker is a skilled surgeon with a scandal in his past. Elise Mallory is a single divorced mum to seven year old Jaden. When Jaden breaks his wrist at school and is taken to hospital it will be up to Ben to settle not only his patient but Elise as well. The attraction between them is instantaneous and hot even if not truly ethical but when Ben is seen with another woman it devastates Elise. When Ben comes clean about his past will they have a chance at a future.
An intriguing storyline of Elise and Ben, great backstory built for both of these characters. Like that they aren’t perfect, and come with baggage that must be dealt with in order for them to come to a have a good relationship. Like the twist towards the end, well written and shows true compassion from Ben, being the true doctor and care for people in need.

A well written story that held my interest throughout. Elise Mallory a divorced Mother meets Dr. Benjamin Parker when she takes her son Jaden to the hospital for an exam. I enjoyed reading this story and seeing them get together even with another woman causing trouble for them.
Sweet and steamy with a holiday-worthy HEA
Hush: A Christmas Romance by Dakota Davies is a well written romance with a holiday flourish. Ben and Elise have an undeniable connection from their first meeting that gets harder and harder to ignore as they continue to have more chance encounters. Ben has a secret that makes being open and honest with Elise difficult. When the secret implodes and rains hurt for both of them, all seems lost. In true holiday spirit, fate (and Elise’s sister) comes to the rescue and provides resolution for all.
Overall, a lovely Christmas romance that kept me engaged and enthralled as Ben and Elise work through the rough patch to the sweet and super steamy HEA.
I read an ARC of this book from Hidden Gems and voluntarily share my review.
Elise is a single mother to Jaden, Ben the finest orthopaedic surgeon around; when they meet following an accident which requires Jaden to need Ben’s help the attraction is immediate. But. Ben cannot ethically act on it because he is treating Jaden, and Elise is still hurting from her divorce. Issues around her ex-husband and Ben’s ex-girlfriend and a scandal which threatens to follow him make the development of this story nail bitingly tense.
Dakota Davies has written convincingly about two lovely people who deserve to find happiness with the son at the centre of them both.
This is a great story about the love between a fantastic mother and her special needs child and a man who they meet along the way.
Elise is finally in a good place after a disastrous divorce. She has a job she loves and her special needs son. When he gets hurt at school and needs a specialist surgeon to work on him, she bears with it. Thankfully, the doctor is understanding and works well with her son so he understands how things will be healing. The three of them get close until the exs show up.
Dr. Benjamin Parker works in a small-town hospital, far from where he wanted to be, because of his ex-girlfriend. To keep from possibly losing his license with false accusations, he left the big city for the small town to start over again. When he met Elise and her son, things started to look good for him again. He knows that she has trust issues and so does he. When his ex-girlfriend shows up in his hospital, possibly as his boss, and she threatens him again, things are going to change. When Elise’s ex shows up, he needs to protect what is his.

Ok story but not exactly plausible
Hush: A Christmas Romance is definitely more than a romance as it will make your Kindle smoke with all the hot and heavy sexy scenes. But the “romance” portion is missing in the story-line for me. I just could not like this story as it expected me to put aside all my common sense and knowledge in order to go along with some of it. The writing was good and the characters were nice, along with the interplay between them. So for me overall this story was okay but not great.
