Release Blitz & Review::: Hearts & Health Volume 1 by DJ Jamison
Blurb
Heart Trouble (Book #1)
Fresh off his latest heartbreak, nurse Ben Griggs is wary when one of his patients shows an interest in him — especially when that patient showed up in the ER after a motorcycle accident. Ben isn’t the kind of guy who can hold the interest of an adrenaline junkie like Gage Evans for long. If he can’t find a way to trust Gage with his heart, they may be destined to have a fling that goes nowhere.

4 out of 5 stars
ER nurse Ben has been burned one too many times by adventure-seeking, adrenaline junkies and when Gage comes in after a motorcycle wreck, he fights his instant attraction because he can’t take another rejection.
Gage fights to get Ben to take time to get to know the real him and not the guy that was in the ER. I enjoyed this story and the way they got together. I think it was well-paced and the characters were both really likeable.
Bedside Manner (Book #2)
Dr. Paul Johnston can’t get a set of dark, somber eyes out of his head, and the timing couldn’t be worse. Zane Kavanaugh came through the ER, a victim of a hate-fueled assault, and Paul can’t forget him. But under review after a complaint, he also can’t afford to fall for a patient. Paul is afraid to start a relationship, and Zane can only handle so much more rejection. Paul may have to make a choice: His career or the first man to capture his heart.

3 1/2 out of 5 stars
This book is a May - December romance with a hot doctor, Paul, and his former ER patient, Zane. They meet under horrible circumstances, but they can’t deny the connection that happens.
I enjoyed this book though I did feel like there was a little too much moping from the characters. A lot of “Whoa is me” moments that distracted me from the story. I enjoyed meeting Zane and Paul and I enjoyed the way things worked out for them, but sometimes I felt like they had too much drama for my liking.
Dr. Trent Cavendish made a huge mistake when he walked away from the love of his life at age 18. When his best friend suddenly dies 12 years later, it rattles Trent into seeing how empty his life has become. He returns to his hometown, hoping to make amends to the man he left behind. Instead of the sweet but tame guy he remembers, Trent runs into a smoking-hot Xavier James dressed in bits of lace and silk at a gay nightclub. His plan to earn Xavier’s forgiveness immediately shifts to lust, and love’s not far behind.

4 out of 5
Xavier and Trent have a history that they both regret - the way it ended, not the feelings they had for each other. I liked the way the story slowly brought them back together. I think Xavier had a right to be upset and I think Trent accepted that he had done wrong.
The book flowed well and both main characters were individuals I could see off the pages. This series has great heart and makes me wish for more from this hospital!
Each of these books was previously published individually as part of the Hearts and Health series.
The man had done a real number on himself. Angry scrapes covered his leg, and he was going to need sutures in two places. But everything looked clean and disinfected, so he reattached the bandage and slid the sheet up.
A smile tugged at his lips when, in the process, he glimpsed tight orange briefs under Gage’s hospital gown. Interesting underwear choice. This guy has a bit of flair.
“Is the leg your only damage?”
Gage chuckled, and Ben’s eyes shot up to his face. His lips smirked as he replied. “That’s debatable. What kind of damage are we talking: mental, emotional or physical?”
Ben laughed. “I only deal with the physical, honey.”
Gage’s smile widened, and Ben realized how that sounded. He hurried to get the conversation back on track. Flirting with patients was not ordinarily something he did, and he especially didn’t need to flirt with a biker. Despite what he’d said to Tripp, he was in no hurry to be another guy’s fuck buddy until he got bored.
“What I meant was, that jacket is looking abused. Do you have any other injuries?”
Even as he asked, Ben grabbed the chart to skim over the details once more. Not that he didn’t trust the patient, but he wanted to be sure he knew what had been detailed thus far.
“Jacket saved me,” Gage mumbled. “I might have a few bruises.”
Ben tsked. In addition to sutures, Gage was going to need a round of examinations to ensure there were no breaks or internal injuries to his body.
“Want me to take it off?”
Ben startled, glancing up. “What?”
“The jacket?” Gage said. “Do you need to see the rest of me?”
Ben bit down on his lip hard as images spilled through his mind. Even in a hospital gown covered by a leather jacket, Gage was a good looking man. His chest was firm and his shoulders broad. It was tempting to agree, just to look a little, after the dry spell Ben had experienced since Tripp dumped him.
That would be playing with fire, and he knew it.
Ben shook his head and replaced the chart.
“The doctor will make a more complete examination,” he said. “Let me go hunt down Dr. Johnston. I’ll scold him until he makes you his top priority.”
Ben smiled his polite nurse smile and turned for the door. He needed to get out of that room before he drooled all over his patient.
