A review by unusablebooklore
Doctor Gray by Sharon Woods

slow-paced

1.5

Wow, this book I have no idea where to start with the review…I’ve never taken so many notes for a book… 
 
Middle life FMC 25 MMC 38 
Brothers Bestie 
Single dad 
Sex work - cam girl 
She’s had a crush for years 
 
So the first few chapters I was willing to put my reservations aside as I’ve read a few age gap romances recently I didn’t hate. But by chapter 14 I was startled to find out that the FMC (who went into seggs work to pay her bills…) has a brother, she’s very close with, that is a billionaire? Something should have tipped me off as she lives in her parent’s guest house…but she’s a cam girl for money? 
 
Around 50% this moderately paced book seems to pull the breaks and finally around 65% the MCs hook up in a bathroom. Because that’s what the first half of the book felt like it was leading towards, as the book transitions from a novel (trying to have) substance towards spicy. 
 
Between 75% and 85% there is a whole lot of creative writing for the progression of the story. It requires a whole lot of suspension of belief if you have a tiniest grain of understanding of American geography, time zones, the passage of time, daylight… 
 
At 88% I seriously had to question my life choices and why the heck I hadn’t DNF’ed the book before the FMC gushes about how sweet it is that Dude could use Google to figure out how to pour water on a tea bag (which he was perplexed by) and only passed because he had 50/50 odds of steeping for the right length of time… 
 
In the end, we have no idea if the FMC paid her tuition. Her money woes ended when the seggs started.
