Review: Limits

Limits by Susie Tate
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another winner from Susie Tate.

From the outside Camilla 'Millie' Morrison looks like she has it all. Beautiful, immaculate clothing, always perfectly made-up, not a hair out of place, amazingly intelligent, ridiculously wealthy. On the inside its a different matter. Crippled by low self-esteem and debilitating shyness she has no friends and her colleagues call her 'Nuclear Winter'. The only people who seem to tolerate her at all are a five year old call Rosie and a 70-something year old senior radiologist called Don who acts as her supervisor.

Pavlos Martakis is a gregarious, popular, loud, confident, uninhibited consultant surgeon. Millie's complete opposite and yet she is drawn to him like the proverbial moth to a flame. As the wit who coined the nickname, he feels a little bit guilty but her cold manner and the way she refuses to even look at people when she dismisses their requests for a scan on one of their patients really annoy him.

Millie has done some ground-breaking research and Pav is desperate for her to present her findings to the Hospital in the Grand Round and more widely at medical conferences but so far Millie has refused all requests for a presentation. Pav isn't used to being rejected, especially by women, and he really can't see why the stuck-up Dr Morrison gets away with her rudeness and refusing to present.

As always Susie Tate has written a sweet, funny romance with endearing characters with some fascinating medical insights thrown in for good measure. I challenge anyone not to love Rosie, or Grammy, or Pav's mad Greek family, or dear Don. Even Pav, although a bit self-centred at first, is totally sweet and so protective of Millie.

I just loved this book and had to start reading it as soon as I got the ARC. The only disappointment is that now I have to wait ages until the next book - fingers crossed it's Kira and the mysterious B.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
