GoodreadsHe was older. Impossibly gorgeous. And had no clue I existed.
Luca Fritz was the worst sort of playboy, constantly falling in and out of love with every woman he met. I used to spend hours of my life staring at the huge Fritz mansion from the window of the staff house dreaming of him. By eighteen I’d all but given up my fantasy, set to go off to The Conservatory in London to follow my dreams when fate stepped in with other ideas.
That summer I was young. Innocent. And forbidden to him.
I knew when we succumbed to the explosive passion between us that he would inevitably ruin me.
I wasn’t wrong.
Four years later, fate decides to step in again. I’m offered my dream job as a first chair cellist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Only I know what comes with it.
Luca Fritz.
On opening night, he comes barreling back into my life. Desperate for a shot at his second chance. A second chance I have no intention of giving. Now a brilliant neurosurgeon he thinks he knows exactly the right way to crawl back not only into my bed but into my heart.
I don’t care how persistent, unexpected, or clever he is. I am not that love-sick teenage girl anymore. It’ll take a hell of a lot more than panty-melting smiles and heart-stopping encounters to win me back over.
This cocky playboy is about to learn that all’s fair in love and war. And this is the latter.
After reading two previous books in the Boston’s Billionaire Bachelors series, I knew I wanted to read all these standalones. So when I was lucky enough to get an ARC of ‘Doctor Playboy’, I got super excited and started reading as soon as possible.
In ‘Doctor Playboy’ we read the story of Raven and Luca. Raven has been in love with Luca for a very long time, almost her whole life. But Luca is eleven years older, and has never looked at her like she is more than a kid. That is until Luca finds Raven playing her cello. He finds himself enchanted by the beautiful eighteen year old and determined to learn more about her. But he also knows they can never be.
Four years later Raven and Luca find themselves in the same city again. Luca is determined to make Raven his, and this time forever. But Raven isn’t interested, he broke her heart once and she will never let him hurt her again. But slowly Raven learns that Luca has done more for her than she can imagine.
After reading a little bit about Raven and Luca in the previous books, I couldn’t wait to finally read their story. (No worries, you can easily read every book in this series as a standalone, but I loved that I already read a tiny bit about these characters.) But nothing could have prepared me for the amazing chemistry between Luca and Raven. I mean wow!!
Raven and Luca have a very intense relationship, and their chemistry is definitely something you can feel coming of the pages. I loved reading their story. It’s not only romantic, but also heartbreaking and very intense. And I couldn’t get enough of these two. They are total opposites, and it definitely worked very well for them. Raven the talented young musician, Luca the playboy neurosurgeon who never really loved before. Amazing!
The best part of this read? It isn’t all sunshine and unicorns. This story felt real, because there were some real-life struggles between the two characters. And I loved that! It made for a great read, that could have easily been a real story.
Although I enjoyed the previous books, I think I loved this one even more. There just was something about Raven and Luca that really touched me and I couldn’t put their book down till I read every page. And I can’t wait for the next book about the older brother Kaplan. Sigh…

Glad this felt realistic. Lovely review Maureen.
Thank you
I just became aware of Saman recently and added one of her books to my TBR (can’t recall which one right now). It sounds like she did a great job with the chemistry between these characters and also made their situation feel realistic. Great review!
Thank you Tanya. I was definitely pleasantly surpriced by Saman’s books. And this one was wonderful.
Glad you enjoyed this one! I still need to read this author. This one might not be for me though because I don’t care for stories very often where the man is that much older.
Thanks Lisa. Honestly, I barely noticed the age difference since they act so similar. LOL!
This sounds like a wonderful romance. I have a feeling that this one would be a winner for me.
It was definitely a great read.
