BLURB:
Willow Taylor lives in a castle with large walls and iron fences. But this is no ordinary castle. It’s called Heartstone Psychiatric hospital and it houses forty other patients. It has nurses with mean faces and techs with permanent frowns.

It has a man, as well. A man who is cold and distant. Whose voice drips with authority. And whose piercing gray eyes hide secrets, and maybe linger on her face a second too long.

Willow isn’t supposed to look deep into those eyes. She isn’t supposed to try to read his tightly leashed emotions. And neither is she supposed to touch herself at night, imagining his powerful voice and that cold but beautiful face.

No, Willow Taylor shouldn’t be attracted to Simon Blackwood, at all. 

Because she’s a patient and he’s her doctor. Her psychiatrist. 

The medicine man. 

WARNING: This book discusses sensitive issues including but not limited to, depression and suicide.

My Review:
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Medicine Man is one of those stories that will stick with you long after you have read it. It is one of those stories that grabs you in from the first page and keeps you reading till the end not stopping to do anything but go to the bathroom and even then you take your kindle to the bathroom because you can't stand to put it down. This story deals with some real life issues that I think are not dealt with enough but Saffron took on the issue of depression and suicide and spun a story like no other. For that I am grateful because depression and suicide are on the rise and not many will write a story about it because it is taboo to talk about.

But enough about that because this story has great and I mean great characters in it. I loved Willow and Simon. They were so good for each other because they helped one another out and in the process they started building a relationship that went deeper than they ever expected. Willow is a young girl who suffers from depression and tries suicide when her parents decide to put her in a hospital to get help. It is at the hospital where she meets her psychiatrist Simon Blackwood.

Simon is a psychiatrist at the hospital who is Willow's Psychiatrist and lord is he a mercurial man who is cold and distant and all professional until Willow breaks his walls down. I absolutely love Simon because he has suffered a bad childhood and was determined to make a difference and not have others suffer the way he. But there is something about Willow that makes his heart beat faster every time he is around her and he can't explain his feelings that he has for Willow. It is wrong but at the same time it is right because he can feel it deep down inside. So when he finally releases his true feelings for willow things start to heat up and this is where the story starts to form and things go down between them that both excite and scare them.

This is a must read story that is both romantic and steamy and everything in between. Thank you Saffron for this beautiful story and I can't wait to read your next book with the side characters in it.


EXCERPT:

“Do you have someone special, Dr. Blackwood?”

Someone you kiss? Someone you grab and pull into a dark alley and press against

walls?

I don’t say that but I’m definitely asking that.

It’s like he hears the unspoken questions because the heat of his body seems to have

doubled. Like his blood is rushing in his veins with an uncanny speed.

With flaring nostrils and a hard jaw, he answers, “No.”

“Why not?”

“Because I’m busy.”

I want to smile. Actually, I’ve never wanted to smile this hard. Ever. His answer calms

me but it also makes me restless to move closer to him. I want to trace my palm over the arch

of his chest and see if I got it right in my dreams.

But I don’t do any of those things. I don’t want him to take away this small concession

he’s given me.

Why is he even giving it to me? I’m not complaining. But still.

“Busy with patients?”

“Busy with my job. Yes,” he says, all professional-like.

That’s what he is. Professional and distant. Dedicated to his job and fixing people. If

Mass General let him go, then they are idiots.

I’m an idiot, too, in this moment.

Instead of backing off, I want to do something. Something that might crack his cool

façade. Maybe reaching up and messing up his no-nonsense hair.

What would he do? If I did that? If I grabbed his collar and pushed him against the wall?

And kissed him?

My eyes drop to his lips, his soft, soft lips. There’s a cleft in the middle of his lower lip. I

want to taste that cleft, dig my tongue in it, wet it, suck on it, bite it.

“So you don’t have fun at all?”

“No. I’m not a fun guy.”

I watch his lips form the words, and every syllable that comes out of his mouth makes

my need to shake him, kiss him, mess him up, stronger. Stronger and stronger.

The need is so consuming that I hardly notice when he puts his hand on my palm and

takes it off his body. It’s final and smooth, his action. Effortless. As though my touch barely

registered to him.

“But I think you have a point. It’s after hours and I should go… have fun rather than

spending my time with a patient.” He steps back then. “I’ll see you next week. Same time.”
