Willow Taylor lives in a castle with large walls and iron fences. But this is no ordinary castle. It’s called Heartstone Psychiatric Hospital and it houses forty other patients. It has nurses with mean faces and techs with permanent frowns.It has a man, as well. A man who is cold and distant. Whose voice drips with authority. And whose piercing gray eyes hide secrets, and maybe linger on her face a second too long. Willow isn’t supposed to look deep into those eyes. She isn’t supposed to try to read his tightly-leashed emotions. Neither is she supposed to touch herself at night, imagining his powerful voice and that cold but beautiful face.No, Willow Taylor shouldn’t be attracted to Simon Blackwood at all. Because she’s a patient and he’s her doctor. Her psychiatrist. The medicine man. NOTE: A STANDALONE novel set in the Heartstone world.KEYWORDS: Forbidden romance, age gap romance, older man younger woman romance, angsty romance, patient doctor romance, alpha male romance, coming of age romance, opposites attract romance, grumpy hero sunshine heroine

"<b>TW:</b> Suicide, depression, cringy sex scenes and one of the worst main female characters you will ever read about. Also the fact that she actually calls him medicine man to his face and multiple times throughout the book. At some point she will say the <b>idea of getting pregnant turns her on</b> <i>*silently screams*.</i> <p>This started strong. It really did. I was engaged until 50%, Saffron's dialogues were great, the tension build up was good and I thought this was going to be worth reading all the way to the end. <i> I was wrong. I was so wrong. </i> </p> <p> <b>Don't get me wrong, this is not by any means the worst book in the world or the worst book I've read, but it's not a good one either. </b> <p> Worst things first, shall we? <p> - Our main character is obsessed with Harry Potter. She talks about Harry Potter every 3 paragraphs, she wears Harry Potter t-shirts every single day like a uniform and carries a Harry Potter book around like she is 2 and it's her blankie. And you expect me to want her to **** the hot psychiatrist who is almost 20 years older? <img src="https://media2.giphy.com/media/720g7C1jz13wI/giphy.gif?cid=790b761198f494426014798decfa4cae9954d1ecae71b332&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g"/> <p> She was so absurdly childish that there were certain moments I felt like I was reading about a ped*phil!e and his 7 year old patient. <p> Psychiatrist and his patient, this could have been such a good trope. Incredible idea, awful, awful execution. Maybe one day Pam Godwin will pick a trope like this up and transform it into what is supposed to be: <i>anything but this. <i> <p> Some honorable mentions: The sentence <i>"I want to hero-worship your c*ck" <i/>was used without a single drop of sarcasm. <img src="https://media2.giphy.com/media/4HtEiJhaEKHAc/giphy.gif?cid=ecf05e479xp9jqciq97n3xe48jt2zjkb86he7451pqwbfyu7&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g"/> <p> After 50% the amount of sex scenes were absurd, repetitive, cringy to the point of almost being disgusting, misplaced and overused. We had a sex scene immediately after he told her his mom killed herself. It went exactly like this: <p> "My mom k!lled herself" <p>"I'm sorry" <p> "Bend over". <p> <img src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/Swx36wwSsU49HAnIhC/giphy.gif?cid=ecf05e4703swz3y39rfzjirdafxomu12i9ly2lior6177hej&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g"/> <p> I hate Harry Potter and I thought this heroine was <i> INSULTING</i> to every Harry Potter fan out there. She asks him to <i>"please c*m in my princess p*ssy"</i>, again, <i>without a single drop of sarcasm</i> and I decided I wanted to be locked up at the same mental institution she was in after reading that with my own two eyes. <p> <img src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/g04ppUsR6qzh8Mj5yT/giphy.gif?cid=ecf05e470xjkhoks658iom3lmrrfme7u9lad3y76zjme2j1e&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g"/> <p> The best part of this book was when one of the secondary characters told the <b>PSYCHIATRIST </b> he needed <i>professional </i>help. The book should have ended there. <p>Thanks for coming to my TedTalk."
