Xander
There’s something seriously wrong with me.
For once, I’m not talking about the health anxiety that randomly pops up and wreaks havoc on my life. I'm talking about, well, everything else.
All my roommates have found someone to love them, and it hurts to see the guys who used to have me at the center of their worlds pair off and grow up, especially when it’s a reminder of everything wrong with me. I’ve always had an issue with relationships. With forming a connection with people outside of Seven, but this is more.
Because I want to find my someone.
Except the one person my brain has latched onto is the one person I can never have. The one person who’s there to help me when my panic attacks get too much.
Nurse Derek.
Derek
I should never have offered to treat Xander Moore.
And now here I am years later, my life on hold, while I wait day in and day out for the call that Xander needs me. It always comes, and I always answer, but I’m starting to dread those visits.
Lately, I’m looking at Xander in a way a medical professional should never look at their patient.
When Xander starts volunteering at the same nursing home that I do, I get to see a new side of him. The artistic, charismatic side that draws the residents in. I get glimpses of a man who’s so much more than his anxiety, and it does nothing to help my feelings for him.
When lines begin to blur, I have no choice but to stop treating him. That at least allows us to be friends. The only problem is, being friends isn’t enough for either of us.
It’s wrong, unethical, and unprofessional, but my heart won’t listen. It’s decided on Xander, and it doesn’t want to wait. Neither does Xander.
But if I want to keep my job, I have to resist.
I just wish he didn’t make that so difficult.

My Review: 5/5 Star
The final book of this series has finally arrived! Been waiting a long time for Xander’s book. Especially when Derek entered the series. Now we finally get to see them find their happily ever after. Though their journey isn’t an easy one. For the last few years, Derek has become the person Xander has gone too when his panic attacks hit and he feels like he is dying. And at first being his nurse was just exactly that. But Derek has come to admit to himself that he is starting to see Xander as more. He is starting to care. He wants to help Xander get better but he also wants to be so much more than that. But he can’t be the carer and the boyfriend. It’s not right. Something has got to give. Because the only way these two can have a future is if things change. Derek can’t be Xander’s nurse and Xander has to finally take the steps necessary to help himself get better. I really loved their journey. Their love was hard earned and patient and sweet and just so many other things. I couldn’t put there story down. This has been such a great series with so many interesting characters! I’m sad to see it end. But there was no better story than Xander and Derek’s to bring this series to a close. You definitely don’t want to miss this one!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
