A story of intense attraction, love, friendship, and undeniable heat, from New York Times bestselling author EL Todd, who has sold millions of books worldwide. Pepper can’t deny the sparks between herself and Finn, but he’s her ex’s brother, which means he’s forbidden… My husband left me.After five years together, he realized he was gay.Once the anger had faded away, there was nothing but love … anger had faded away, there was nothing but love left behind. This man is still my best friend and I want him in my life. So I move across the hall so we can be as close as we always have.
Then his brother moves in for a couple of weeks, a man I’ve never met. He relocates 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 me with a gaze so fierce it’s like he hates me. Every time we’re alone in a room together, the chemistry is so suffocating I can barely 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 I can’t have. And he can’t have me either.
So we’ll just have to keep pretending there’s nothing here….even though there is.

This is the first book I have read by El Todd and it was really good. In the beginning I was really sad for Pepper and Colton. Then comes Jax and wow the heat begins. Then Coltons’s brother Finn moves in with him and he has a connection with Pepper. This was a story filled with a lot of emotions and heartbreak. I can’t wait to start thr next book.
Wow…loved the relationship with pepper and Colton….but the Doctor is hot….I loved where this went…highly recommend
I loved this book! It wasn’t what I exabytes was so much better! I love her relationship with her ex-husband and the friendship they have. His ex military brother is the full package and he knows it! Who doesn’t like a quiet, self assured, tatted alpha ?!
This is the first in a series.
This book is so unlike anything I’ve ever read. The characters are personable and their story captures you immediately. A must read for sure!
Whoa my first read from the author and very very interesting
I won’t say it’s romance for this first book, it’s more like Pepper the heroin finding her self after happily married then was divorce cause he found out his gay. Then the story begin.
Interesting how the story told from her POV and the ex husband, Colton’s POV. And not the hero like all romance do. Love how the author didn’t put the hero out there from the start but instead letting the story grow with Pepper.
Love how the secondary characters are captivating to support the main characters.
Although I made my mind for the hero, I’m excited to see what’s next
Another amazing book by this incredibly talented author. I have yet to read a series of hers that I do not love. When you read it, you feel as if you’re actually there experiencing it. Love, love, loved this book.
This is a great start to a new series. The characters are well developed and have great chemistry. The storyline is inserting and holds your attention. I’m looking forward to the next book. I highly recommend this book.
I voluntarily read a arc copy.
The Doctor by E. L. Todd was definitely a page turner, it grabs you from the first page and won’t let go until you are finished with it. It has so much emotion and passion, I highly recommend it.
***REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS***
Stumbled across this good read by racing a post on another authors group page and by some luck I also received the ARC!!
So I began to read and was intrigued.
We are introduced to Pepper and her soon to be ex husband Colton. Reading the details as to why they were getting a divorce was hard. Any women finding out that their significant other is gay!!!
And the way the author displayed Peppers reaction was clearly justified but the close relationship she has with Colton is just to good to be true,,
Her friends think it’s time for her to move on but of course she’s still standoffish with the whole idea until Mr. Gorgeous walks into her store!! Loved the way they interacted and was Cheering them on.
That was until the mysterious Finn, older brother of Colton returns back home after serving in the military for 10years.
Immediately when they meet, something happens but they both can’t figure out what that is. Even Colton got a glimpse of the aura in the air but shrugged it off.
Things get tense with Mr. Gorgeous aka Jax with secrets being withheld and misunderstandings on several occasions.
With all the drama unfolding, this book keeps you engaged and definitely looking forward to see how everything plays out.
Really good start for the series!!
This is book 1 in a four book series. All books are releasing in just about a month which is great if you are like me and you dislike waiting to see how the story evolves.
There are plenty of unexpected moments to keep you turning the pages.
Can’t wait for more!

So this is the first book in a brand new series by E.L. Todd. Pepper is recently divorced by her husband Colton after finding out he’s gay. Pepper and Colton continue to live across the hall and remain best friends even after everything. Pepper truly is one of a kind. She decides to truly embrace being single and enjoy everything that comes along with that. Jax starts as her first hookup since being divorced and the chemistry is off the charts for sure. Well until Colton’s brother comes home from the military and stays with his brother across the hall until his house is ready. Problem is there is some instant attraction there, but he is still her ex husbands brother and they both know that’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed. This is a fast moving, lust filled, steamy, fun and exciting book and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
