Doc Showmance by Zoe Forward – a Review

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Apple

Description:
I would say Dr. Ian Todd is my archenemy. But that would require us acknowledging each other, which we haven’t done since we graduated veterinary school.

He’s famous. As in, he’s the world’s “Sexiest Veterinarian Alive” with his own wildlife TV show and a string of glamorous girlfriends.

I’m infamous as a reality TV emergency veterinarian with a snark mouth, take-no-crap attitude, and zero dating life.

When asked to fake a romance with him on TV to boost my ER show’s ratings, I want to say no-way, but the extra money will pay off my brother’s loan shark debt. Even though Ian broke my heart, playing his love interest shouldn’t be hard, especially if it means getting to watch him squirm.

Lines get blurred when the TV setups stop feeling fake. Can I chance this might be real love?

Review:

Doc Showmance by Zoe Forward is a wonderful fun romantic novel.  We meet Amber Hardin, one of the main Veterinarian Doctors at the San Diego Emergency Hospital, which is also a live TV show, that is very popular.  Amber is one of the best veterinarians there is, as well as being badass, always protecting the animals who come to the hospital.  In a short time, her popularity has grown, especially as she has no qualms about her snark comments that comes out of her mouth; the fans love her.    Amber is very good at her job.

Ian Todd, is an internet sensation, with his own wildlife TV Show, and he is a very hot hunk.  Management has forced Ian to join the San Diego Emergency Show, and both Amber and Ian are not happy about this. Both went to veterinary school, and totally disliked each other.  Despite their dislike of each other, management has increased the money for them to work together, and enact a fake romance on the air.

Slowly, they begin to respect each other, which will change, as the chemistry between them sizzles.  When they are forced to attend Ian’s family Thanksgiving dinner,  Amber sees Ian in a different light, when she meets the family and sees how awful they all are.  The romance between Ian and Amber escalates, even if they both know the fake tv romance will end soon. I really loved the two of them together, as they made a great couple, once they got past vet school 7 years ago. Ian loved watching Amber’s success, always finding the right thing to save the animals.  When another Doctor tries to take over an operation, knowing it was Amber’s case, and she knew how to save the dog; all hell broke loose, and Ian stepped in to help fight off the crazy doctor. 

What follows was a wonderful hot romance, with a terrific Veterinarian background, with seeing how so many wonderful dogs are saved, a fantastic couple, and wonderful secondary characters. Doc Showmance was a fantastic, wonderful, fun story, that was so very well written by Zoe Forward.  I learned after I finished the book, that Forward is indeed a veterinarian in real life, which gave us such a wonderful view of animal hospitals.   I suggest you read this book, as I loved it.
