In the luxurious Pelican Hotel, Dr. Nassrin Fahadi finds herself at a crossroads. Once a dedicated physician, she dreams of a simpler life with the charming bartender, Tallahassee. But as she prepares to resign, a lavish dinner hosted by her formidable boss threatens to change everything. When the opportunity to become the medical director arises, tensions flare among her ambitious colleagues. As secrets unravel and ambitions collide, Nassrin faces a pivotal choice. Will she choose the safety of her career, or will love guide her towards a future she never dared to envision? In a world where every decision counts, Nassrin learns that sometimes, the bravest choice is simply to embrace who you really are.

 ---My 5 Review TITLED: Careers and Love Clash 

She is a doctor at Ocean Hospital and she's a blend of Palestinian and Puerto Rico heritage. I loved how the author wrote that she was a "blend". What a great way to put it ! She desperately loves Tallahassee, her blonde, boyfriend who is a bartender. He's working to become a lawyer but seems to run into problems about that goal! 

This is such a well written story. So I'm going to put some people in categorizes. Here are the Hated Ones: 

-Dr. Aberdeen, the man who was previously a surgeon but is now the Big Boss at the hospital. He was arrogant and blustery.  He makes people skidattle to do whatever he wants !

 - His wife Isabelle, is manipulative and power hungry to get her way at all costs. 

- Now we get to the one that should be #1 on this list: Karen. She's a lazy Diva who has schmoozed her way into trying to be director of the hospital. Everyone HATES her..

Now my Love List: 

 -Nassrin- she's caught straddling between two worlds and having a hard time trying to do that. 

- Tallahassee- great guy who deserves better than what he's getting. 

- Let's not forget Opal either. She is a Native American woman with grit trying to keep many plates in the air spinning. She even admits she's not doing that great of a job. I really liked her a lot and she's getting her own store in,  "That Kind of Girl"  on Amazon

I loved how the story ended with a HEA for now.
