Taming Hollywood's Ultimate Playboy by Amalie Berlin (Hollywood Hills Clinic #7)


Taming Hollywood's Ultimate Playboy by Amalie Berlin
Reviewed by Helen

I am loving this series and this one is a beauty how do you tame one of Hollywood's top stars especially since you have known him forever and there is a secret that is very embarrassing to say the least between you but when Liam Carter needs help with a badly sprained ankle he also needs the help of his best friend's sister Grace Watson who is a physical therapist at The Hollywood Hills Clinic. Get ready for a fabulous rocky road to the ultimate HEA.

Grace works hard at her job in the clinic that has some of the top Hollywood actors as patients and the last time she saw Liam Carter was a long time ago and in a very embarrassing situation a lot has happened to Grace since then but she has never forgotten Liam and now here he is needing help that will put them together closely for a few days will this open up her feelings that she has kept under control for so long how is the strong Grace going to cope?

Liam Carter has worked hard to get to where he is today after the life he had growing up it has left him a little scared and so sure he is not the picket fence kind of guy no marriage or relationships for Liam hard work and fun. But when he meets up with Grace again the feelings and emotions he thought buried have come to the surface she pulled at his heart years ago and it seems she still can with her caring and kind ways can she get him to see the truth?

I highly recommend this one it is sensual moving and was a joy to read it had me turning the pages and smiling as the banter between them is so good they have a lot to open up about including that trench coat I won't say anymore other than to say this is a must read. 

5/5 stars for a great story

An awesome addition to a fantastic series. Fast paced, humorous and and a thoroughly enjoyable read which is hard to put down.

Liam needs to attend an important premier but doesn't want the world to know he's injured and can't walk properly. His next project, a life changing, career changing project, depends on it. Enlisting the help of his friend James's clinic, he's put into the hands of the best physio there is, Grace. Unfortunately Grace and Liam go way back and this meeting is awkward times a million.

I loved the fast paced story, the glitzy glamour of the premier, mixed with the behind the scenes look of what probably does happen with celebrities while they're getting ready for their interviews. I loved Grace's no nonsense approach when it came to her job and I loved the back stories and how the characters developed. I also liked that Grace wasn't the Grace that Liam remembers and how he handles her scars and dashed dreams.

In my opinion Amalie Berlin writes with a freshness that's thoroughly enjoyable to read and I throughly recommend this story to anyone who hasn't read medicals before, anyone who's following this series and anyone who's not read Amalie before (and especially if you have).

This story was the sunshine of my day!

"Taming Hollywood's Ultimate Playboy (Mills & Boon Medical)" by Amelie Berlin is part of the series 'The Hollywood Hills Clinic' and can be read as part of the series, since you will meet up with characters from the other books, or as a read alone. In the story we have Grace Watson and Liam Carter. Grace is a physical therapist who works at the clinic, and Liam is an actor who hurt himself when he was running. They come together recently, but also share a past. Liam and Grace knew each other growing up. Her brother and Liam are really close friends, and Grace tried to seduce Liam one night (long before this current connection) of which he rebuffed her seduction. There is quite a bit to this story. We learn about both of their pasts, and see what brings them together. I love this series and their story.

Review by Cheryl Steckling - 5 Stars

The Hollywood Hills Clinic series is a very well written selection of Medical Romance.
Amalie Berlin caught the real sides of these characters in the book. Grace Watson and Liam Carter have not seen each other in a long time. Liam was Grace’s brothers best friend and Grace had a total crush on him! Last time Grace was wearing a trench coat and lingerie. Liam rejected her then and now they will find out they have to work together to achieve what needs to be done.
Now Grace is a top physical therapist and Liam is a Hollywood hottest property and she needs to get him literally back on his feet.
Grace had tempted him years ago and now tempts him even more. Liam is so sure he does not want the typical marriage with the picket fence or such but when he meets back up with Grace those hidden emotions come bubbling up to the top.
Liam has a big premier coming up and must be on his feet so he does not look like an injured and he has to listen to Grace and follow all her instructions.
You can read one or all of the Hollywood Hills Clinic series and you will enjoy.

They were friends by proxy because Liam Carter was Grace Watson's brother's best friend.

Who does not have a crush on their older brother's hottie of a friend? ;)

She had tried once in the past to be with him but he put forth his honourabe intentions forth and refused. Years later, they are brought together because she is physical therapist and he needs therapy.

A fun to read story where these two people, full of life, try to make sense of what their emotions are and what should they do with them.

Enjoyed the story line so much, I had to finish it one go.


Review by Lynn - 4 Stars

A fun friends-to-lovers story!

When Hollywood heartthrob, Liam Carter injures himself right before a big premier, he can only think of one person that can help him be well enough to make his rounds.

As a top physical therapist at The Hollywood Hills Clinic, Grace Watson doesn't have much of a choice when her boss asks her to be at Liam's beck and call for his premier. She would rather not see him again considering the last time they were in the same room together, she threw herself at him and he rejected her! Will a second chance at getting to be around each other again after all these years change the way either of then feels?


Review by Dottie - 5 Stars

Part of the Hollywood Hills clinic series but can be read alone. You will see past characters but that will not deter you from this stand alone book. Liam Carter gets ready for his big premier and as luck would have it injures himself. He needs the help of a physical therapist to get him back to his sport. Grace Watson is the best physical therapist but the last person she wants to help is Liam. They have a past and one that still has the ability to keep her as distant from him as possible. The last time they were together she threw herself at him and he totally rejected her. Now its her turn to reject helping him but her boss has other ideas, so she must see him again. A lovely second chance romance that leaves you with a smile.

Emotionally stirring, sensually mesmerizing and beautifully written, His Pregnant Sleeping Beauty by Lynne Marshall will keep you engrossed until the end. This is a story that will pull at your heartstrings. The tension between Joseph Joe Matthews and Carey Spencer is evident on the page as their past haunts their present day life. They recreate their past pain every chance they get. I cannot give away much of the plot without baring the essence of this intensely consuming story. But I will say this: would you be willing to put your trust in a stranger if you’ve been abused and been hurt by loved ones in your past? Keep this question in mind if you think about giving this story a try. Because, this is what His Pregnant Sleeping Beauty is about—putting yourself out there even though you want to hide away in your shell. 

Happy Reading!

Joe, owner of the ambulance service that is contracted to Hollywood Hills, meets a beautiful Jane Doe. Unfortunately it's during a mugging and she's knocked out. Joe can't explain what makes him stay by her side when she's in her coma but when she comes to he learns she's pregnant and is escaping her violent partner. Offering Carey a place to stay seemed natural and so begins a wonderful story about two people offered a second chance a life, love and hope.

The reason I really like Lynne Marshall's stories are because she writes with depth and plots that are not always the norm in this genre but has the ability to do so in such a way I find myself slowly, surely and very softly drawn into the heart of the story. Joe with his heartbreaking story, Carey with her baby and the two of them growing closer and closer – something has to give.

His Pregnant Sleeping Beauty is a fantastic addition to a wonderful series. I enjoyed both Joe and Carey and I was very very interested to see how the happy ever after was going to pan out. Coupled with Lynne's depth of writing I really really enjoyed this read

Review by Hina - 5 Stars

Sometimes, it so happens that when a person is not made for you, things will go wrong. However you may want them to be otherwise. The same is true for Joseph and Carey.

Joseph married a woman but she was not the one meant for him.

Carey was having a baby with a man but he was not the one meant for her.

Meeting in strenuous conditions, Joseph's could not help but feel responsible for Carey and her baby and she starts depending on him to be there for her and the baby.

A very sweet story where even thought the hero wants to be all macho and always be there to save his woman, he makes sure that she knows self-defense because that is how life is. He can't be always there.

A book that I will be picking up again. Soon.


Review by Cheryl - 5 Stars

Paramedic Joseph Matthews is at the right spot at the right time. He notices a woman that has just gotten off the bus being attacked for her bag and something possibly worse. Joseph goes to rescue her and gets slices in the process by her would be assailant. He does not manage to stop the theft of her bag but he does rescue the female.

Joseph is a divorced man and he has bitterness thanks to his memories. However he vows to be there for the female who has now been left in a coma.

Carey Spencer has her own story to tell and she was for sure in the wrong place at the wrong time. She is pregnant and running away from the baby’s father and now has no identity other than Jane Doe and Joseph calls her the Sleeping Beauty.

When she came to she immediately asked if her baby was okay and when she got the word that yes the baby was fine she had tears in her eyes and also so did Joseph.

Lynne Marshall is a wonderful author who can capture you from the start of the book and right up until the last word is written. This showed there are bad people and good people; there are people that should never be a dad and some that should be. It is a wonderful story and deserves more than 5 stars.

"His Pregnant Sleeping Beauty" by Lynne Marshall is part off the series called 'The Hollywood Hills Clinic' and can be read as part of the series or as a read alone. Paramedic Joseph (Joe) Matthews is grabbing a bite to eat with his partner when a tour bus pulls up and off steps Carey Spencer. She's wearing shades, even though it is at night, and promptly gets attacked and mugged. Joe chases her assailant but he gets away and Carey is left unconscious on the ground after hitting her head. When they transported her to he closest hospital 'Hollywood Hills Clinic' they find that not only is she bruised prior to the mugging but that she is also pregnant. .....Such a wonderful story. I loved it

Review by Dottie - 5 Stars
A story about two people who for different reasons are very distrustful. Carey Spencer is pregnant and on the road to escape her abusive relationship with the hope of starting over. Joseph Matthews spends his life as a paramedic taking care of people in trouble, just not the trouble Carey is in. When he sees her attacked and her purse stolen it is only natural he goes to her aid. However she is badly hurt and in a coma and he feels for some reason he must stay involved and try to help her. Getting involved is not easy for him as he was betrayed by his ex wife and trust is hard won by him but there is something about her that makes him feel he has to try to help her. Ms. Marshall has put two deeply wounded people in a no pun intended crash site with each other. You will fall in love with Joseph, and the love Carey has for her unborn child is something every women can appreciate. This book will pull you in and wrap itself around your heart and you will enjoy the ride that Joseph and Carey take to their HEA.

Review by Lynne - 5 Stars

Lynne Marshall has a way with words that wraps you up in the life of her characters and takes you along for the ride with them as they travel the ups and downs of life and happily ever after!

Carey Spencer finds herself vulnerable, pregnant and alone in the beginning of this story, and almost immediately walks right into danger!

Paramedic Joseph Matthews is at the right place at the right time to come to Carey's aid and get her medical treatment as soon as possible. He sits by her bedside just waiting for this beautiful woman to open her eyes and tell him she's okay. Though his life has been in an upheaval due to his ex-wife's betrayal, he's not the type of man that can turn his back on a woman in need, so he offers Carey all the help she needs to get settled back on her feet after she wakes up.

Neither Carey nor Joe can ignore the attraction they feel for each other. They try to fight it, but it just won't go away. Can this wayward woman be the answer to healing Joe's heart? And will this good-hearted paramedic show Carey that there are men out there that you can truly trust?

Well what can I say this one was an absolute joy to read so many emotions our hero Dr Jake Lewis has the best sense of humour as well as being one good looking Doc and Heroine British born Lola Bennett makes me smile with her come backs at Jake as she endeavours to keep up with all the work her actress boss throws her way and do the thing that she wants most.

Lola has lived a life of acting and drama classes with her loving parents pushing her that way she is the best they say so when she moves from England to Los Angeles and the heart of Hollywood and writes a script because that is what Lola really wants, she is working for actress Cameron Fontaine as her PA and that has her working her butt off but it gets her closer to people she needs to give her script to but she needs a bit more confidence to do so but her life is about to do a full turnaround when she meets the impressive Dr Jake when he comes for a house call for Cameron their first meeting will have you smiling.

Dr Jake Lewis has come to work in The Hollywood Hills Clinic so as he can pay back his parents for all that they have done for him but with a stubborn father this is not going as planned Jake is a top neuro-surgeon and is good at his work and he is not happy about having to do house calls on the set of a movie but it is part of the job so off he goes and the first person he meets is the PA she is cute British and he is blindsided by her looks and personality and comes to the wrong conclusion about Lola this is going to be a fun journey as he learns so much more about her.

And what a journey to the best HEA through ups and downs and a very sensual pull between two people who have already decided on their futures and that is that their jobs come first but as they get closer and end up on the Island of Nassau for filming they cannot resist each other anymore and a sizzling affair begins but both are sure it will be a short one (I don't think so). This really is a magical story that had me laughing smiling and shedding few tears as Jake opens up to Lola and although they both deny their love for a while in the end the cannot deny it this is a beautiful story that I highly recommend this is one for the keeper shelf and it will be re read many times over MS George brings the characters to life on the pages I loved this one.

The Prince and the Midwife by Robin Gianna

Review by TashNz

Another lovely story by Robin Gianna who always manages to weave a beautiful love story through moving medical drama.

Gabriella Cain is the head midwife at Hollywood Hills Clinic and is absolutely mortified when Dr-who-does-he-think-he-is-Raphael Moreno saunters into the delivery room and shoots her down every possible way in front of a VIP patient. Just because he's a prince - doesn't make him God of delivery rooms!!! Gabby has worked her way up from the bottom and deserves her post and it doesn't take long for Rafe to figure out he's wrong. Not only is he wrong but he very quickly realises Gabby is absolutely beautiful to him but he's in NYC to hide out and lay low and not cause paparazzi drama for himself or anyone surrounding him.

A super super awesome edition to this wonderful series of which at this stage I've only read two books but I love that Robin has eluded to James and Mila further and I liked Rafe and Gabby had to attend the ball mentioned in other books and I like the connections that are touched on but still make this book absolutely fine to read as a stand alone book.

Filled with many medical drama's around delivering babies kept me entertained and wowed at the same time. It made me sad and teary when Gabby's past was revealed and it made me curious about Rafe's history and whether he could step up to the plate and be able to be who he wants to be along with what Gabby needs him to be.

Really really enjoyed.

The Prince and the Midwife by Robin Gianna

Review by Helen


MS Gianna writes stories that will draw you in with their sensuality and emotion and this one was a beauty a Prince for a hero and a beautiful and vulnerable heroine who is just so caring and one of the best midwives sit back and enjoy this one, this is the fifth book in The Hollywood Hills Clinic Series and it is a fabulous series.Gabriella Cain is the head midwife at the exclusive Hollywood Hills Clinic in Los Angeles she loves her job she is caring and her patients and the other staff think the world of her but she is hiding a secret that she keeps to herself and is determined to keep it that way she does not want a relationship and throws herself into her work. That might change though when Hollywood actress Cameron Fontaine is bought into the hospital in labour and in walks a new doctor an arrogant one Dr Rafael Moreno a Prince as well who is friends with the owner of the clinic James Rothsberg he will push a few of Gabby's buttons I loved the sparks that flew on their first meeting.

Dr Rafael Moreno is royalty and has come to LA to hide out and stay out of the headlines keep a low profile after his parents push him to do so after a not very good scandal involving another woman yes he feels hard done by, by his parents after choosing to be a Doctor but he is good at his job and loves it. He plans on never marrying that is not the life for him he has seen too many loveless marriages. So when His friend James asks him to help out at the clinic he is more than happy to but is his life about to change when he meets the feisty midwife Gabby?

I loved this story from start to finish the sparks and sensual pull that fires between these two beautiful people will have you smiling cheering them on and shedding a few tears a beautifully written emotional journey that brings both Gabby and Rafael to the most wonderful HEA gets them both to open up come to terms with their pasts and allow them to move onto a future filled with love and happiness. Yes this is a story that I highly recommend it was an absolute joy to read.

Robin Gianna is a fantastic storyteller who creates the most beautiful medical romances that feature three-dimensional characters who are flawed but likable. The Prince and the Midwife is flirty, sexy, dramatic and all out entertaining. The characters garnered my attention from page one. Readers are definitely in for one heck of a medical treat! Gabriella Cain loves her job being midwife to celebrity moms. But when Dr Rafael Moreno—a real life prince— stalks into her life things turn topsy turvy. Rafe breaks down the barrier she’d built around her, making her vulnerable. Could Gabriella risk falling for prince charming even as dark clouds of her past linger over her head? Read on and fall in love with characters whose stories will transport you into their magically fictional worlds!

What a fabulous story this one is, this is the first book in The Hollywood Hills Clinic series and this is Australian Paediatric heart surgeon Zach Carlton's story he is know as a drifter has no intention of settling down marrying or making his parents grandparents. He has left the outback town that he grew up in after losing his brother in an accident and has not looked back he is a great surgeon he travels the world helping out where he can, but when he takes a three month stint in Hollywood his life changes dramatically for the better.

Freya Rothsberg has been through so much in her life the daughter of famous actors her younger life was a disaster and she went through so many changes that caused medical problems, but she is well now and working as PR at the clinic in Hollywood that her brother James has started and with the start of a charity in conjunction with the Bright Hope Clinic Zach is there to help with pro bono work with seriously ill children, but when they meet at a hotel where Freya is attending a wedding the chemistry is way too strong to ignore and one passionate night with a stranger leads to a journey that will have you turning the pages.

This is an emotional very steamy sensual story of love and the joy that it can bring two people who really deserve to have each other. The characters are so real so alive the chemistry sparks the pages up and with Freya's brother James and his ex Mila bought into the mix this is one story that sizzles with feeling hope and joy. I look forward to the other 7 books in this series, thank you MS Mareinelli for a fabulous fast paced story that I highly recommend.
