| Lakeshore Medical Book 1 |
He's brilliant, untouchable, and the nurses call him the Dread Prince.
Dr. Arjun Kapoor saves children's lives with surgical precision and the bedside manner of a Victorian ghost. He's also been hiding a devastating crush on his complete Dr. Casey Welling, six-foot-three of golden retriever chaos in dinosaur-print scrubs, who does magic tricks for crying kids and has been hopelessly in love with the Dread Prince for two years.
So when Arjun's mother announces she's arranged his engagement to a perfectly suitable surgeon from London, he panics. He tells her he's already engaged. To Casey. Who has absolutely no idea.
Now they have a two weeks at the Kapoor family estate in Rajasthan, fake dating in front of Arjun's terrifyingly powerful family. There are rules. A leather notebook of pre-approved pet names. One bed. (Obviously.) And a pillow wall that's already threatening to collapse.
The problem? Casey was never pretending. And somewhere between the scheming mother, the gossiping aunties, the dangerously charming rival who won't stop flirting with his fake fiancé, and the slow burn that's quickly becoming an inferno, Arjun is discovering the most terrifying thing a control freak can fall in love for real.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Arjun knows what those at the hospital call him: Dread Prince. To everyone. He is a neuro doctor who is cold and has a terrible bedside manner. He doesn’t mean to be exactly, he is just used to wearing armor at all times. How else will he protect himself? How else can he explain things if he can’t use the medical jargon that is his safety net? But his armor cracks when he gets an unexpected phone call from his mother announcing that when he visits India in a few days, he will also be getting engaged to someone she picked out. In a panic, he tells her that he is already engaged. To who? The man he has been secretly in love with for two years. Casey. The ER children’s doctor who is a golden retriever and a ray of sunshine that everyone adores. And when Arjun comes to him for help to fake a relationship, he says yes. Because Arjun isn’t the only one who has been hiding his feelings. Casey has been in love with Arjun for two years. He sees what everyone else doesn’t when it comes to Arjun. And he would love a chance to show Arjun what they could be together. So he’ll come along and maybe he will finally get a chance to tell Arjun how he feels. And that this is the chance they’ve both been waiting for. Casey has been patient for a long time, he can remain so. So through a scheming mother, gossiping aunties, and many others who are at the ready to test them at every turn, it will take Arjun and Casey working together to make it through. And maybe by the end, they will finally get what the two of them always wanted and rightfully deserve. I loved this book!! It was exactly what I expected having read CG Macington’s St. Jude’s series. It’s funny and sweet and emotional and you are rooting for Arjun and Casey from the beginning. I loved our cast of characters and the humor. I loved watching Arjun and Casey grow together and finally be together after so much pining. I would love to see more from this series!
