Review Card & Book Review – Love, Accidentally By Phoebe MacLeod

Sometimes, what happens on the nightshift, should stay on the nightshift…

As an accident and emergency room nurse, there’s not much that can catch Tilly off guard (not even those kinds of accidents). But when her bachelor flatmate gets a girlfriend and her sister announces she wants another baby, Tilly is surprised to find herself questioning her happily single existence.

Thankfully, the arrival of a new face on the ward offers a welcome distraction. With his lustrous hair, and charming personality, Dr Luke sets hearts racing all across the hospital. But as Tilly and Luke get to know each other better, she starts to wonder if he’s really her McDreamy after all…

Is Tilly being blinded by her determination to find someone? And while she’s looking in Luke’s direction, will Tilly miss what’s right in front of her?

About The Author

My Review

Set against the lively backdrop of an A&E department, this book offers a breezy romance with shades of a medical drama. Tilly, an emergency nurse, quickly finds herself entangled with a new doctor—but not everything is as it seems. The twist, while a bit predictable, adds a touch of drama to an otherwise light, fast-paced read.

MacLeod’s writing style is smooth and engaging, making the novel easy to digest. However, character development feels uneven. Tilly can be frustrating—she swings from heartbroken and emotionally needy to impatient and demanding with startling speed, especially when her romantic interest doesn’t match her pace. The relationship lacks the chemistry and slow-burn tension that typically makes a romance spark. Instead, it moves from awkward to official with little buildup, making the love story feel a bit unearned.

While it may not be a standout for die-hard romance fans, it holds appeal for readers looking for something quick, contemporary, and set in a familiar, fast-paced environment.
