Dr. Ellie Swann has always had a crush on Roger Reynolds. When she overhears that he’s broken up with his fiance because he’s looking for someone a little more adventurous in bed, she realizes this is her chance … only she doesn’t quite qualify. But when bad boy Tyler Longfoot ends up at her house in the middle of the night with a medical emergency he needs kept quiet, Ellie has the perfect chance to learn how to thrill a man. Tyler is tired of people thinking he’s only good in bed, especially the adorable – albeit a little nerdy – Dr Swann, but he can’t turn her down. Can Tyler teach Ellie what she wants to learn without either of their hearts getting involved?

I loved Private Practice from the beginning. Ellie is so cute and awkward and cerebral while Tyler is hot, sweet and charming. Neither of them had the best time growing up and that commonality allows Tyler to see and understand Ellie like no one else. Growing up without a mother and with a neglectful father, she was gawky, nerdy and socially awkward. She studied hard so she could lose herself in her books and even now, after a makeover from friends in college, she may have updated the outside but on the inside she’s still that uncomfortable girl. She looks at things academically which leads to her unusual request for a tutor in sex. Tyler grew up with a mother who left him and his abusive father and still has a little bit of that scared, lonely boy underneath. But he’s definitely grown into a fine man despite the odds. As Ellie says, Tyler is “the real thing—a grown woman’s fantasy—sexy, unpredictable, a little bit of a bad boy, but decent to the core” and he makes for an endearing, a little out of his element, hero for Ellie. Their romance may be unconventional, but it is tender and romantic at the same time. Together they are fun, sassy and oh so very hot.

For a story that will pluck your heartstrings while heating up the pages, Private Practice is a can’t miss.
