**Obsessed by Books, arc copy given in exchange for an honest review**Being a lover of the tv series Grey's Anatomy ..this book hit five stars for me. Set in a fast paced neurosurgery rotation with interns vying to be on Coltons surgery team, I fell in love with the atmosphere of this book.It's a beautifully written love story, that captured my interest and held me prisoner to the end. Dr Possessive, Dr Dominant, Dr Sexy are just the few of my favourite pet names Dr Colton has. He has a reputation as Dr Dick as he has no room for professional relationships, he is Chief of Surgery and he gets want he wants...always. His past is a dark one and he fuels his highly successful career by channeling the pain from his ghosts (he has a few).Lili, Blue, is an ex social worker who has run from her own demons and is now a case worker. Surgical rotation bring these two together and their relationship is so hot it sets off fireworks! Their relationship is intense and as the story develops we gain an insight into the main characters. They both have suffered immensely and are 'sleep running' through life, living in shades of grey until they find each other. The supporting characters of Sierra the BFF (pregnant and sassy) Asher the childhood friend (loyal and witty) and the all hospital staff and family members all flesh out this story and add humour. There are many poignant and touching scenes and I for one thoroughly enjoyed this debut novel. I loved this read. I knew I had to read this book after reading the synopsis. Like the synopsis, I was hooked from the first page. The title is perfect for this book. Sometimes as a reader I hate book titles. They just don't match the material inside the cover. Not the case for this one.I love the characters too. Especially the supporting characters. I hope (really hope) some of them get a book of their own. Lili is a great character. A strong female lead, but Chase... Wow. I loved chase. He is one hot Doctor. A great read all around and one that I want to gush over. The writing team of Riley Mackenzie has wowed me!
