Take this oath and…Shove it. As far as Luca was concerned, his promise to first do no harm could take a flying leap off a tall building. A doctor of his caliber should’ve known better than to make assumptions, though-and the biggest one he’d made was thinking he could ever live without Daisy. Now that he’s finally tracked her down, he’s prepared to move heaven and earth-and maybe even harm a … person or two-in order to win back the one who got away. If only it were that simple.The woman he fell for a year ago was not at all what she seemed. Back in America, his supposedly sweet, uncomplicated graduate student is actually a ferociously-talented professional, and twice as seductive as she was before. Daisy is also his old friend’s newest hire-and she’s not exactly thrilled to see Luca show up unexpectedly at her first work party. When she discovers that Luca wasn’t exactly forthcoming about his professional pedigree either, it becomes clear that Daisy’s made some hasty assumptions of her own. Luca will have to wield every instrument at his disposal to heal her hurts. Forget his best bedside manner-winning Daisy a second time is going to require all of Luca’s heart, too.Can he convince Daisy that love is still the best medicine, even on a new continent and in their real-life roles? Or will Luca find himself heading back to Italy alone and sick at heart?There’s just one way to find out. The doctor will see you now.

The Doctor was dark is not for the faint of heart. Luca and Daisy story is full of mistrust, pain, sadness and self doubt.
Daisy’s past has lead to her insecurities and Luca drive to succeed in his career was put above everything else, including love. I loved the scene of the past it allowed me to understand the characters better.
This story does not disappoint.

I enjoyed reading Daisy and Luca’s story. Not a big fan of the jumping back into the past, but it worked. First book I have read from Kristen Casey, looking forward to reading the other two books in the series.
Wow I enjoyed this book. The characters are well developed and engaging with undeniable chemistry between the couple which made for a great storyline that kept me entertained throughout the pages.

Luca and Daisy met in Italy and neither was honest about each other’s profession when they had a vacation romance. Luca was the type of person who always put his career first and was afraid that romance would affect his ability to be a good oncologist. He makes the mistake several times in this book of not being up front with Daisy and that causes a lot of hurt and misunderstandings. She never felt wanted by her birth parents who gave her up as a baby, her foster mother who promised to adopt her but never did, and all the boyfriends who lied and used her. I can understand why she thought she wasn’t good enough for Luca when she’s wasn’t enough for anyone else and was afraid to open her heart and trust him. But amongst the pain and sadness, there was also a lot of funny and sexy moments in this book. I enjoyed it so much more than the first one in this series even if the title made me wonder what type of romance this would be.
I loved this story. It is the kind that you can identify with the characters and immerse yourself in the story. Very well written and characters to win the heart make this book a must read.

This wasn’t a bad read. Well written. The chemistry was good between the two, with both the pretend and real them. But, something was missing.
3.5 Stars
The story line and character work were good. The book had a smooth flow to it. While I enjoyed this book, I had a hard time connecting to this couple.

I hate weak and whiny mc and we got that with Daisy, she needed to buck up and be greatful for what you have and have accomplished and stop comparing herself to Luca. Luca I didn’t get what you saw in Daisy, and I hate flashbacks, sometimes i can annoying put up with it if it will assist in story I didn’t find that to be the case with this book, will I read more, yeah no.
