Two very different people.

One scandalous proposition.

Endless possibilities...

*** 

I can't believe how different things are now; how complicated my life has become in such a short amount of time. 

It was never supposed to be like this. 

He's off limits. 

He's always been off limits. 

I keep telling myself that; that being here with him is not supposed to feel this good. 

God, HE'S not supposed to feel this good. 

I wonder what my life would have been like now if I had gone to the clinic on a different day, or if I had just insisted on going with the physician I was initially referred to. 

Never in my life would I have thought that in the events that followed the beginning of a regular school week, a random checkup would end up spawning a highly angst-filled, incredibly confusing, and quickly-unfolding mess.

***

This story unfolds over multiple serials and is not a standalone. This is the first book.

Rated 17+ 

This series contains mature and adult content (nudity, graphic sex, and strong language). Because of its explicit nature, it is intended for mature audiences only. Reader discretion is advised.

Doctor-Patient Confidentiality is the first volume in the Confidential serial by Eme Strife. I have to admit, the story pretty much lost me the moment I found out the doctor was married. That kind of thing immediately turns me off, and had it been mentioned in the blurb, I probably wouldn't have been too keen on reading it. Just my personal preference.  As for the story itself, the first chapter is all hot and heavy. It was a teaser scene to something that must happen later, however it never happens later in this volume. Then we're brought right to the present, and the story drags quite a bit with Ramona's day to day life. I know this is a serial type novel, and that's all the more reason you want something to grab you, you know? I needed that something to make me want to pick up the next book, and it just wasn't there. For such a short volume, you can't really afford to make it drag. Other reviewers have liked it though, so don't let me change your mind. This one just wan't for me.

Doctor-Patient Confidentiality: Volume One by Eme Strife was kindly provided to me by the author for review. The opinions are my own.

Eme is an unconventional New Adult Paranormal-slash-Urban Fantasy and Contemporary Romance writer (and a bit of a sarcastic smart-ass) who might be going through a quarter-life crisis even though she is in denial of it.
Lucky for her, she has several sarcastic, upbeat, and severely vulgar imaginary friends to give her some semblance of normalcy.
She loves writing about said imaginary friends—although she does so mostly because they never seem to shut the hell up.

She's also addicted to Family Guy, American Dad, and Pandora (the online radio site, not the evil box), drinks an ungodly amount of Red Bull at any given time, wants to marry Seth MacFarlane at some point, and occasionally eats bacon and popcorn together (^_^).
