Bedside Manners is book two in the Breakup Doctor
series.
BEDSIDE MANNERS is filled with hilarious situations that
had me laughing
out loud often! After thoroughly enjoying the first book
in this series, The
Breakup Doctor, I knew I was going to love the follow up.
Brook Ogden is
wonderful as The Breakup Doctor, but when it comes to her
own
relationships she is one hot mess. She never takes her
own advice and
seems to forget all about it when she is involved with
someone. Even so, I
found Brook to be a totally relatable heroine, flaws and
all. I would love to
hang out with her and her BFF, Sasha. What horror
relationship stories we
could tell each other.
After helping clients, one on one, Brook decides she needs
a change but
isn't sure how to go about it. When Ben, a guy Brook has
started to date,
makes a suggestion, Brook finds herself involved with a
support group for a
crazy, funny, and heart breaking bunch of clients that you
will soon be
cheering for. Those sessions were sometimes, the funniest
parts of
BEDSIDE MANNERS. At first, the clients want blood and to
seek revenge.
But as always, Brook dispenses such great advice and words
of wisdom,
that the clients can't help but grow from their
experiences.
Brook just might even be ready for love again. Ben
seems the perfect
candidate to hold her heart. I really loved reading about
their dates. But
then, when everything seems to go perfectly well... Chip,
who we met in the
first book as a sexy ex patient, is back and is apparently
ready for love too!
Oh my goodness, poor Brook, what you think is going to
happen, is so far
off base. Thankfully, she has Sasha to help her through
the mess she has
created. There are lots of funny moments in BEDSIDE
MANNERS
especially when you put Sasha and Stu into the situation.
Brook doesn't
want to hear about their intimate side since Stu is her
brother, but Sasha
just can't seem to help herself! Hilarious!
BEDSIDE MANNERS is extremely hard to put down. I kept
saying, "okay
one more chapter, one more chapter" and of course you know
how that
goes. Before I knew it I was finished and I really
wanted to keep on
reading. Phoebe Fox creates such a heart warming cast of
characters that
you can't help but fall in love with them. As much as I
was laughing at
some of the crazy situations everyone gets themselves
into, I was also
reaching for the tissues and crying ugly. That's all I'm
going to say, trust
me, I'm not ruining anything for you. Please, please,
please Ms. Fox, keep
on writing this series.
Brook Ogden has never encountered a broken heart she
couldn’t patch together. Her counseling practice as the
Breakup Doctor—on call to help you shape up after a
breakup—is so busy she’s expanded to offer group sessions.
(Turns out there are far more than fifty ways to leave
your
lover.) Her radio show and advice column have made her a
local celebrity, and even her personal life, after some
gruesome breakups of her own, is in recovery: Ben Garrett
started out as a revenge date against an ex, but has
turned
into so much more.
But when sizzling-hot Chip Santana, an old client she once
shared a rather unprofessional midnight roll in the sand
with, comes back into her life asking for her help, Brook
can’t say no. Yet while she’s busy stitching up his
relationship troubles, Chip reveals much more than a
therapeutic interest in her.
In the standoff between her heart and her hormones,
Brook’s
cool, collected Wise Therapist persona begins to crack
like
thrown wedding china. She’s yelling at recalcitrant
cheating
husbands. Offering crazy advice to radio callers. She’s
even
hugging her clients.
When the situation goes critical, Brook’s forced into a
decision she isn’t ready to make—and the Breakup Doctor
has
to decide what kind of casualties she’s willing to accept.
