REVIEW: Nurse With A Billion Dollar Secret by Scarlet Wilson

Nurse With A Billion Dollar Secret by Scarlet Wilson: Robyn has worked hard to get where she is as a doctor. She grew up poor in Glasgow, Scotland. She was thrilled when she got a spot in a special six month program at a teaching hospital in San Diego. She gets off to a bad start when treating a man who had a heart attack right at the hospital’s front door. While she’s still assessing the patient a well dressed man comes in and tries to talk with the patient. She is pretty curt with this man whom she doesn’t know.

It turns out the man is the head of the hospital that was named after his late wife. Then she reprimanded a medical student who turned out to be the nephew of the head of the hospital. She is nicknamed Dr. Grumpy. Robyn believes she is just looking out for what’s best for the patients.

Robyn soon meets a nurse, Avery Smith. Avery has been given the nickname Mr. Sunshine. Avery helps Robyn with dealing with the hospital and all the many issues.

Avery is very kind. Besides working hard at the hospital, he volunteers at a clinic and soup kitchen. He and Robyn slowly become close and bond over a variety of things. Robyn shares about her past and her parents. Avery doesn’t reveal very much about himself. Is he hiding big secrets from Robyn? Will there be a future for them after her six month stint.

Robyn sort of gave off the “cold pricklys” at the start. Under all her bluster is a pure heart of compassion. It’s easy for her to care for Avery since he’s also caring and compassionate. I enjoyed how both main characters grew over the arc of the plot.

Author Scarlet Wilson was a nurse for many years so all her medical scenes feel very real and make things a bit scary and suspenseful. I am always impressed when two different writers are able to write novels that blend seamlessly. Avery was in the first book and in this one the reader learns much more about him . Some of the characters from the first story make appearances .  If you like medical romances, this duet will be perfect for you.
