Review
Jodi Payne, author of String of Pearls and co-author of the Deviations series, writes: When Dr. Andrew Maynard is saddled with the dubious honor of giving the university's medical students some hands-on training at the hospital, he finds himself asking 'why me?' He's so bored by the prospect that he is about to gouge his own eyes out with one student's PDA when he is caught off-guard, and quite pleasantly so, by another student's compassion for a patient, and subsequently his smooth skin, dark, curly hair and long, elegant fingers. Despite the niggling ethical issues, Andrew gives him more than a passing glance.

Matthew Blake, the curly-headed student, is a typical neophyte in the medical field; hopped up on caffeine and buried in books and diagrams and note cards. But what's not typical of Matthew is that while there are some things he may need a mentor for, sex is not one of them. He's Dominant in the bedroom, no question, and he's as intrigued as we are at just how submissive Andrew can be. The sparks fly instantly for these two, and they are both left winded.

And let's not forget the sex. Every scene sizzles, among them a masterfully written fisting scene that will set your shorts on fire with its intensity, and a shower scene that should hit nearly everyone's buttons. Andrew is heartbreaking in his submission and Matthew's hunger and desire for control takes your breath away (it should be noted that this D/s relationship is purely sexual and remains in the bedroom, and apart from a little binding of hands, it doesn't venture into BDSM).

Ms. Cairo's British turn of phrase and sense of humor are entertaining and often just plain hilarious. Academic geeks, romantic tension, professional ethics, life-altering decisions, humor, scorching hot sex and a smooth, entertaining writing style put Bad Case of Loving You among my personal top reads.

Customer Reviews

This M/M romance is a gem!
This lady does write very well and this sizzling romance between a doctor and his medical student is her best effort to-date.
Both Andrew and Matthew are such believable characters. The emotion built-up of their romance is intense and sexy.
Andrew with his sense of justice is one endearing character as he cares for his patients, colleagues, son and lover. The plot revolving round the medical community and the hospital with is red tape is realistic and well thought out. The sex with a touch of BDSM is really hot and the one with the painting is well..just highly creative!

Just What the Doctor Ordered
I thought this book was a good hospital romance between two doctors. Andrew, the teacher, is drawn to Matthew, his student, and the pairing is hot!!! But what I liked most was that the book described their lives inside and outside of the bedroom. The drama does surround Andrew and his position apart from Matthew, but this is a love story, and not all love stories are riddled with strife. There is a hint of "dom"/"sub" with Matthew the master and Andrew the subordinate, but it is not your traditional theatrics with whips and chains. Nor, is Andrew subservient when displaying what's in his heart. It's good to see the role reversal inside and outside of the bedroom, that way, there is no burden on one person to sustain the relationship. Plus it allows for each to grow in their own way.

If you are looking for intrigue or good ole fashion trouble this is not your book. This book is a gay love story with "no larger than life characters", but about people you meet everyday.

The author provides enough balance inside and outside the bedroom to create real characters.

Just what the doctor ordered!
Matthew Blake, a medical student, and Dr Andrew Maynard, his instructor, tell their story in alternate chapters.
Matthew shares a house in London with engineering students, and is being driven to distraction by their wild parties, affecting his ability to study. American Dr Maynard despairs over the students he has in his care, until that is he takes Matthew into his office one day to discuss a patient and then really notices Matthew for the first time and is stuck by his beauty. Matthew is equally taken by Andrew's attractive features.
Matthew takes subtle steps to indicate to Dr Maynard his inclinations, and Andrew is quick to pick up on them. When they eventually come to together they are both overwhelmed, and Andrew is quick to suggest a follow up. They plunge into a sizzling relationship, and of course have to contend with all the difficulties that a teacher student affair involves, not the mention the problems of introducing Matthew to Andrew's teenage son.
Matthew learns a few secrets about Andrew's preferences, and Andrew is delighted when Matthew willingly satisfies them. There is an interesting reversal of roles; while Matthew remains in awe of his teacher in class, Andrew eagerly submits to his student in the bedroom.
The two fall in deeply in love, and the narrative follows the course of their love and associated problems. There is a strange mix of hospital and NHS politics, and hot bedroom activity. It is a delightful and very positive tale, with nice touches of humour and no horrors in store. Matthew and Andrew are very likeable characters, and they have some very understanding friends. This is without doubt a very pleasurable read.
