Perfect Rivalry

What I like most with Radclyffe is the fact that she goes back through her book series to see where an update might be called for. This update is Another PMC Hospital Romance. Now we have another story and a chance to catch up with some of the characters that make an appearance throughout the series.

Dani Chan is still trying to make her highly educated family with their impressive careers proud of her. Or even to notice would be nice. Now she’s in her fifth year of training to become a surgeon and one way she thinks might get them to take notice is by winning the ‘Franklin Prize’ given to the best all round surgeon. She’s steered clear of having a relationship, relying on hook-ups when she needs a little down time. Between her studies and keeping up with her friends she just doesn’t have time. That’s until she meets Ren.

Ren Dunbar has decided she wants to be a surgeon like her older sister Sax, a surgeon working in NY city. She’s beyond smart and has finished with each step in her quest making her one of the youngest students in the PMC program. She has never dated and the very idea of having a relationship is scary. Then when Quinn wants her to spend more time in surgery instead of the lab she finds herself drawn to Dani.

Nice romance with some very likable characters. Very enjoyable read.

Perfect Rivalry by Radclyffe is a delightful addition to her “PMC Hospital Romances” series. It is exactly the book I’ve been wanting to read. (...)

This is definitely a character driven novel, though the setting is equally important to the story and the author has done an amazing job with both. The medical/hospital aspect of the tale kept me enthralled. The characters, especially Ren and Dani are easy to connect with. The story will grab your interest and keep you reading until the end. I believe you could read this as a stand-alone novel, but my suggestion would be to read the entire series in order. They are all great stories and well worth your time.

I really enjoyed this medical romance by Radclyffe. (...)

I love how easily they accept each other for what they say and do. Ren is a particularly interesting character because she knows things intellectually but has to navigate dealing with others. She is honest and straight forward with no game playing. She is also driven and has her own insecurities about being perfect and good enough. This is a very low angst book and is more about can these two make room for each other with the demands of their careers. Radclyffe as always makes the medical part exciting. I also thought the pacing was particularly good. The previous book in the series had over 30 percent happen in one day. This one spreads the out the time making a growing relationship realistic.

If you enjoy medical romances you will enjoy this. It can be read as a stand alone but main characters from other books in the series make appearances. Thank you to NetGalley and Bold Stokes Books for an eARC in exchange for an honest review. (4.5 stars)

I really loved this book, but let me get this out of the way upfront (...)

What I loved about this book is that Ren is so obviously autistic (or atypical, as the book points out once), and Dani doesn't have a problem with it. In fact, she embraces the 'odder' parts of Ren's personality. As an autistic person myself, I saw so many similarities between Ren and me. And it was really refreshing to see how much Dani loved her.

Perfect Rivalry is book number 6 in the PMC Hospital Romance series and centres around Ren and Dani, two doctors who share a love of gaming and find themselves in the running for the same medical award.

The chemestry is sweet, and the dialogue authentic. Reading along as these two fall in love is a nice way to spend a few hours.

Perfect Rivalry is a low angst romance with a superb cast of supporting characters, who make appearances from the previous books, and it's really easy to imagine this as a hit TV series (ah, a girl could wish;)

Radclyffe has delivered another powerful page turner, and hopefully this isn't the end of the PMC series.
