Vanessa Kelly‘s latest release is MY FAVORITE COUNTESS:
Spirited, stubborn, and entirely irresistible…
She is difficult, demanding, and at times, quite fierce. And Dr. John Blackmore can’t take his eyes off her. The Countess of Randolph is the most striking woman he has ever seen…and the most infuriating patient he has ever tended
Mired in responsibility, Bathsheba doesn’t have time to convalesce in the country. She should be in London, hunting for a wealthy new lover to pay off her late husband’s vast debts, not dallying with a devastatingly handsome doctor.
But it is only a matter of time until the good doctor and the obstinate countess will have to contend with the sparks that fly between them. Once their bodies surrender, their hearts may follow…
“My Favorite Countess is guaranteed to satisfy even the most passionate romance reader.”
—NY Times Bestselling author Teresa Medeiros
PURCHASE BOOK: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Books A Million, Indibound

I read Eloisa James’ When beauty tame beast

The last book I read with a doctor was in a Bad Boy anthology with Lori Foster. I think the story is called “Playing Doctor.”

Yes, I have. Lisa Kleypas’ novella “Against the Odds” features a doctor hero named Jacob Linley.

I don’t think I’ve read a romance novel that had a doctor hero/heroine, but I have read a few mysteries that did.

I haven’t read any historicals with doctors because I’ve only recently discovered historicals; however, I have read hundreds of contemporary romances with doctors, going way back to the early seventies when authors almost always wrote about doctors/nurses because women didn’t have many other careers in life apparently. Thank goodness that has changed and women’s careers have expanded greatly.
I recently read Josie Metcalfe’s trilogy, including HIS LONGED-FOR BABY (with Dr. Maggie ffrench/Dr. Jake Lascelles), HIS UNEXPECTED CHILD (with Dr. Leah Dawson/Dr. David ffrench), and HIS LONGED-FOR FAMILY (with Dr. Libby Cornish/Dr. Nick Howell), and I just loved all three of these stories!

Dr. Olivia Strohm in Stephanie Tyler’s PROMISES IN THE DARK is a doctor and reluctant heroine. I loved this book and the series.

I actually can’t think right now of a book I’ve read that has a doctor hero or heroine. I like the idea though of a doctor hero in a historical. Sounds like a fun read!

Yes I have read a few books by M. Ferrarella with doctor heroes.
May 30th, 2011 at 1:29 pm · Link
I haven’t, actually! I need to get on that…. (starting with this book!)….
May 30th, 2011 at 2:30 pm · Link
I just got “My Favorite Countess” so I’m looking forward to reading it!
May 30th, 2011 at 2:50 pm · Link
My favorite book that has a Dr. as the hero is The Patient Nurse by Diana Palmer. The heroine is a nurse. I’ve probably read it 30 times now!
May 30th, 2011 at 3:40 pm · Link
I just finished Charlotte Featherstone’s Sinful, which featured a female nurse–quite a feat for Victorian England!

I just recently discovered historical and the famous author groups or have become friends with on FB. So now I will have to put one on my list. Anyone have any good suggestions?

The only doctor book that I’ve read that comes to mind is the first book in the Demonica series. Looove that series!

I don’t think I’ve ever read a book with a doctor hero or heroine.
May 30th, 2011 at 4:37 pm · Link
Yes, Eloisa James’ ‘When Beauty Tamed the Beast’, and of course Claire is first a nurse then a doctor in ‘Outlander’.
May 30th, 2011 at 5:07 pm · Link
Eloisa James’ When beauty tame beast I loved this.
Larissa Ione Pleasure Unbound, & the rest in the series.
May 30th, 2011 at 7:52 pm · Link
Yes, the latest one I’ve read is Eloisa James’ When Beauty Tamed the Beast, which has a doctor hero who is also an Earl.
May 30th, 2011 at 7:58 pm · Link
I think just the heroines and almost exclusively in historicals. But I think I have read a couple paranormal vets. OH! And Ione’s demon docs 🙂

I have only ever read one series with a doctor as a heroin ~ Outlanders by Diana gabaldon.

“Twin of Ice” and “Twin of Fire” by Jude Devereaux are the first historicals I read that envolved a doctor, and she was a woman! I thought that was pretty avant garde for a story taking place in the 19th Century. I recommend both books very highly 😉

As with others, When Beauty Tamed the Beast by Eloisa James.. Ok, I’m really old & I started reading the Sue Barton Nursing series when I was ‘but a child’.
May 31st, 2011 at 6:45 am · Link
Yes, I have read several. Pleasure Unbound by Larissa Ione is the first one that popped in my mind. 🙂
May 31st, 2011 at 10:42 am · Link
Larissa Ione’s Demonica Series has LOTS of hot doctors… 🙂

Yes my favorite was Love Me by Bella Andre.

One of my favorite paranormal series stars a doc: PLEASURE UNBOUND by Larissa Ione. It just so happens that Eidolon is not only a doctor, but a Seminus demon!
May 31st, 2011 at 2:25 pm · Link
I cannot believe that I left out “When Beauty Tamed the Beast by Eloisa James” and Claire Randell Frasier in the “Outlander” series! Both are terrific reads.
May 31st, 2011 at 5:43 pm · Link
Yes, two of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series has doctors as the heroine or hero. Both were great stories.
May 31st, 2011 at 7:39 pm · Link
I can’t say that I have read a book with a doctor hero or heroine, but I would certainly love to read My Favorite Countess.

If demon doctors count then yes…the demonica series…yum!
