Dr. Stanton by T.L. Swan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If happiness is a gift.
Dr. Stanton
Then Cameron Stanton is my Santa Clause.
I can’t tell you the exact moment I fell in love with him.
Only that I did.
With every glance, every touch, every minute…. he stole a little more of me.
They say that all men are created equal.
Well that’s a blatant lie!
I know because I met Gods gift to women in Vegas,
I pretended he was my husband to get rid of another guy.
He took our fake marriage seriously and it became his personal goal to consummate.
He spoke to me in French and I lied to him in German.
His laughter was addictive.
But I thought what happens in Vegas would stay in Vegas.
Until it didn’t.
Dr. Stanton turned up where I least expected and my lies came back to haunt me.
The attraction is palpable.
The secrets unchangeable.
I need him more than air.
“Ashley Tucker my all night fucker!

The Hero: Dr. Cameron Stanton – He is an Australian living in Los Angeles who is in Las Vegas with his billionaire brother and plays along with Ashley as her husband. He asks her to stay another night or two but she refuses. They make up stories about who they are and what they do for a living, they speak to each other in French and German. He asks for her number and saves it as “Wife”.
The Story: Cam cheats in a card game and nearly gets caught by one of the players, who upends the table along with his cell phone, before getting Cam kicked out of the casino. He is pissed off about losing the number of his “wife”, but still goes to New York the next weekend. He sits in a bar, staring out at the street hoping to somehow see the woman that has taken over his mind all week. Cam knows it is crazy but he is a player who doesn’t ever think twice about the women he takes to bed, but can’t seem to get her off his mind.
Five years later Ashley and her four year old son Owen move to a new town. Ashley had dreams of being a surgeon when she found herself pregnant, so now she is just trying to get through her final year of medical school residency at a hospital in Los Angeles before becoming a family doctor. Her ex fiancée having left her and stopped visitations with Owen, so she is exited to start a new life. She wants a part time job at a nightclub to make ends meet. She finds that she is working at the same hospital as the man she met in Vegas and they still have explosive chemistry.
The book is told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Elena Wolfe and Stephen Dexter. I love both of these narrators, Stephen does a fine Aussie accent and Elena has an age appropriate voice and sounds intelligent and feminine. I just loved the sexual tension in this book. It was so hot! The steamy parts were off the charts, hands down the hottest scenes I have ever read.
I know I have said this before, but I just love T.L. Swan’s ability to have a book about a romantic relationship between two people that spans over 700 pages (18 ½ hours of audio) and not have the story be boring or repetitive. There isn’t really any side storylines other that the quirks and hang-ups of the main two characters. It is just them figuring out their relationship and there is some fun along the way. Cam is quite the dirty talker, he and Ash are into role playing which is great. The supporting characters are terrific as well.
