Description

“Compulsively readable.”—JULIE SOTO, 1 New York Times bestselling author on Love Sick Friendship like this should come with a warning label... Asher Foley is an imposter—at least, that’s how it feels. The letters “MD” after his name should mean he’s confident, respected, put-together. Instead, he still feels like the class clown pretending to be a grown-up doctor. Jocelyn Maddox is a paradox—warm, fearless, but utterly closed off. She’s lost too much already—family, love, home—and she’s not about to gamble her heart again. As an anesthesiologist, she’ll fix everyone else’s pain and refuses to feel her own. It makes Asher, her flirty best friend-slash-work husband, perfectly safe. Right? When a surgical complication forces Asher to drop the mask and show her the man underneath, Jocelyn sees more than the jokes and easy smiles. She sees him. And suddenly, the walls she’s built to survive begin to crack—one look, one laugh, one heartbeat at a time. “Heartfelt and smart, Love Sick is just what the doctor ordered.”—Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund- Broka, authors of The Breakup Tour Grey’s Anatomy meets The Love Hypothesis in this delicious, laugh out loud rom-com set in the world of a tight-knit group of OB-GYN residents—written by a practicing physician.

    • hooked me from the start. though these characters were messyyyyy
Format: Kindle
I did a hybrid read of both audio and eBook, and I have to say I was absolutely HOOKED from the start, although it did fall a little for me towards the second half. Straight from the beginning, you're absolutely addicted to the quick witty banter between Jocelyn and Asher. They're best friends, but clearly anyone with two eyes can see they're destined to be together... except the both of them? They had this kind of easygoing banter between two friends that have known one another long enough to be able to tell it to you straight. Yet when true feelings get involved, suddenly things are a bit harder to joke about or brush off. I do have to say I felt like there were moments where Jocelyn felt like she was just a bit too much in the sense of her banter, throwing anything over he shoulder kind of blasé emotion. They're both clearly in denial over their feelings, even when others can see that they're basically in a relationship without the screwing. Since Jocelyn only deals with one night stands and Asher wants something more serious, there's this impasse between the two of them for some time. I found myself frustrated over this aspect, like I wanted to reach in and shake them both to open their eyes! Of course with this kind of dynamic, it was for sure a slow burn. I was anticipating for it to finally happen, because the author seriously teeters you on the edge waiting for them to finally get together, and when they do... wow! Overall though it was an entertaining read, the narrators were great and I found it so easy to fall in love with Asher from the beginning of the story! If you're a fan of Greys Anatomy, you'll totally love this one! ... show more

This is an excellent story, with the necessary 'win' in the end for this hopeless romantic. Loved the reality and attention to details, kept me reading almost in one sitting.

    • Friends to lovers
Format: Kindle
You can smell this plot from a mile away! Friends to lovers! Asher is a very good physician, but honestly, he feels like he is faking it. Enter Joycelyn! As an anesthesiologist, she’ll fix everyone else’s pain and refuses to feel her own. It makes Asher, her flirty best friend-slash-work husband, perfectly safe. Right? I enjoyed these two characters. However, Asher’s insecurities just didn’t fit his character or his job! Then there is Joycelyn. In my opinion, she toyed way too much with Asher. I wanted to slap her. And he just kept coming back for more…insert eye roll. I know it sounds like I did not like this book, but I did. The characters are cute, along with the setting of the hospital, it is all in my wheelhouse. I just wanted more. This is narrated by Christine Lakin and Eric Yang. They did a good job keeping this story moving! Need a quick romance for a road trip…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today. ... show more

    • Friends-to-Lovers Medical RomCom - Perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Abby Jimenez
Format: Paperback
After reading Love Sick last year, I was especially excited to see Asher get his own story. His wit and personality stood out to me in the previous book, so I was eager to spend more time with his character here. This is a well-executed friends-to-lovers workplace romance set in a medical environment. Fans of Grey’s Anatomy will appreciate the blend of professional stakes and personal relationships, along with the added emotional depth. Asher, an OB-GYN struggling with imposter syndrome, and Jocelyn, an anesthesiologist who keeps emotional distance due to past loss, have a long-standing friendship that gradually shifts into something more. Their dynamic is engaging and the chemistry between them is clear from the start. While their reluctance to confront their feelings can be frustrating at times, it ultimately adds to the slow-burn tension. Both characters are thoughtfully developed. Asher’s humor contrasts nicely with his underlying insecurities, while Jocelyn’s guarded nature is understandable given her history. Watching them navigate vulnerability and growth was one of the strongest aspects of the novel. The medical setting adds authenticity and depth to the story rather than serving as mere background, which enhances the overall reading experience. Overall, this is an emotional and engaging romance with strong character development, compelling tension, and a satisfying progression from friendship to love. A big thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for the ARC! ... show more

    • Not as good as the first book
Format: Paperback
I loved this author’s first book so much, so imagine my disappointment with how much I didn’t enjoy this one. The two main characters were so one-note, and did that refusal to communicate thing that is so irritating. For two people to claim to be best friends, they sure didn’t know anything deep about each other. Such a bummer. Hopefully, Duncan’s next book will be better. ... show more

    • Medical RomCom
Format: Kindle
I wanted to like this book but I just really disliked Joss. Don’t get me wrong she has had more trauma and loss than anyone should ever deal with but wow, she didn’t deserve Asher. Asher is top tier. I mean he’s funny, kind, smart, and so thoughtful. He gave Joss so many more chances than she deserved. Poor Asher did not deserve the back and forth. Overall, this wasn’t a bad story but just not for me. If you like a friends to lovers with a very long slow burn with lots of hot and cold, then this may be for you. Thanks to NetGalley and MIRA for the ARC! ... show more

    • A tender friends-to-lovers romance where vulnerability changes everything.
Format: Kindle
Some love stories don’t begin with sparks—they begin with safety. With inside jokes, shared glances, and a rhythm so comfortable you never question it… until everything changes. Love and Other Side Effects lives in that fragile in-between space where friendship starts to feel like something more—and suddenly, everything is at risk. Asher Foley is the kind of character who hides in plain sight. He’s charming, self-deprecating, and quick with a joke—but beneath that is a man who doesn’t quite believe he deserves the title he’s worked so hard for. Watching him unravel—forced to confront his insecurities after a complication at work—adds an emotional depth that sneaks up on you. His humor stops being a shield and starts becoming a confession. Jocelyn Maddox, on the other hand, is all control. She’s built her life around distance—keeping her emotions compartmentalized, manageable, safe. But what makes her so compelling is that you can feel the pressure of everything she’s holding back. Her grief isn’t loud—it lingers, it shapes her choices, it keeps her from reaching for the one thing she secretly wants. Together, their dynamic is electric in the quietest way. The “work spouse” energy, the effortless teasing, the unspoken trust—it all makes the shift from friends to something more feel both inevitable and terrifying. Every moment between them feels loaded, like one wrong step could either ruin everything or finally set them free. What truly stands out is how this story treats vulnerability. It doesn’t rush it. It doesn’t glamorize it. It lets it be messy, uncomfortable, and deeply human. Love here isn’t a cure—it’s a side effect. One that neither of them planned for, but both of them desperately need. This is a romance that aches in the best way—soft, slow, and full of moments that linger long after the final page. I received a complimentary copy and am sharing my honest review. ... show more
