About this ebook

Tracey Livesay continues her fun-filled Girls Trip series with this romance that will tug at your heartstrings.

Sometimes faking it can lead to the real thing... 

Driven and focused, Dr. Nicole Allen is an accomplished surgeon. With a tough past, Nic’s gone above and beyond everyone’s expectations. But when she disciplines an intern—a powerful donor’s son—a prestigious fellowship she’s awaiting is placed in jeopardy. 

Coming from a successful family who runs a medical business empire, Benjamin Reed Van Mont is the black sheep, having chosen to start his own business instead. Though he’s not ready to settle down, he knows when the time comes it definitely won’t be with a workaholic doctor like his friend Nic—even if she’s had him re-examining his edict...more than once. 

When Ben’s status-climbing ex-girlfriend finds her way back into his orbit, Nic proposes a swap of services. She’ll spend the week with Ben on Martha’s Vineyard, pretending to be his girlfriend—but only if he’ll have his family intervene on her behalf so she won’t lose her fellowship. How hard can the charade be? 

But as they’re about to discover, they’ve sorely underestimated their true feelings for each other...

 

Ratings and reviews

I still need to read Girls Trip, #1, but I really enjoyed Like Lovers Do. This is the story of Dr. Nicole Allen, a strong, black, orthopedic surgeon and Benjamin Reed Van Mont, a successful business owner and her landlord. When Nic reprimands an intern, she is the sent home because his daddy is a big donor. Ben has been attracted to Nic for years, but will they ever be more than friends? This book has a wonderful group of friends that are so supportive of each other, you can’t help but like them. I won’t leave any spoilers, so grab your copy and see what happens, especially when Nic goes away with Ben to get an ex, Tinsley to accept that he’s moved on from her. I received an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Pretty basic, again I was expecting more but by the time I reached the end, I was thinking I could have given this a miss.
