Billionaire
M.D.
by Olivia Gates
Passionate and emotional with amazing hero
When Cybele
Wilkinson awakens, renowned neurosurgeon Rodrigo Valderrama
stands before her, a man whose beauty and power fill her first
thoughts. A plane crash has left her with no memory
and a body struggling to survive. Rodrigo tends to her with
absolute dedication, skill, and patience. Widowed and pregnant,
Cybele has emotional wounds that go far deeper than her physical
ones. As her doctor, Rodrigo must keep the intense passion
he feels for Cybele in check. As her husband's best friend,
Rodrigo's duty goes even further. Can either Rodrigo or Cybele
deny the love that is growing between them? Knowing he must
protect her, Rodrigo takes her away to his estate but can he truly keep
the past from her? At all costs, he must keep her from learning
the truth about her pregnancy, but can he? With the grief and
suffering that has brought them to this point, how can Rodrigo and
Cybele find a path to true love? Will the truth set them free?
In BILLIONAIRE, M.D., Olivia Gates gives her own unique take on several
classic romance themes, combining them in exciting ways to escalate the
passion, the emotion and the wow factor of her romance hero.
Anyone can say a man looks like a god, but Olivia Gates truly makes a
reader feel the beauty of Rodrigo outside --- and inside as well.
The reader sees him through Cybele's eyes, eyes that reveal the full
impact his presence has on her. Wow! Dr. Olivia Gates
brings all her experience of medicine and writing medical romances into
play in her newest Desire romance to create a passionate hero whose
dedication to his profession exemplifies compassion, honor and
courage. Although wealthy, this billionaire doctor is a man
who uses his wealth not to aggrandize himself but rather to help others
and further research and advances in his field, a field that serves
others. How delightful to see this author bring her medical
characters into the Desire line! Not only do they fit in
perfectly with the line, but they add a nice variety and depth to the
line itself.
In BILLIONAIRE M.D., the setting adds to the
romance. Olivia Gates brings the history and culture of Catalan Spain
in a way that magnifies the heroic qualities of Rodrigo while also
giving a reader insights into the place as well as her
characters. This reader appreciates the author's attention to
culture as well as character. Olivia Gates not only sees the
landscape of her heroes but also deep into the emotions, conflicts, and
personal histories that motivate them. Olivia Gates knows how to
make her romance heroes into uniquely distinctive and memorable
individuals in a reader's heart. Neurosurgeon Rodrigo
Valderrama definitely leaves a profound impression.
BILLIONAIRE M.D. is everything Olivia Gates fans have grown to
love. The passion is breathtaking, the emotion intense and the
writing sensual. The author coins the richest turns of language,
bringing a kind of poetic sensibility to the language of passion.
If you love intense, emotional romances that take you into new
emotional places beyond yourself, Olivia Gates and BILLIONAIRE
M.D are must reads. If you love moving romance, grab a tissue, reserve
some time, minimize interruptions, open your imagination and plunge
into the pages of Rodrigo and Cybele. If you are already an
Olivia Gates fan, like this reader, BILLIONAIRE M.D.
is a keeper through and through.
