Medicine Man by Saffron A. Kent
Title: Medicine Man
Author: Saffron A. Kent
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 27, 2018
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.

“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.”

Tricia’s rating: 5 of 5 iScream ConesJust lock me in a room and let Saffron Kent read her books to me all day and all night…goodnnessss I get sooo lost in her wordssss!!!
Girlll Medicine Man was soooo fab!!! I really think I read this book intentionally slow so I could soak it all in and fall more in love with the Medicine Man!!!
She is not crazy.
It was a misunderstanding. She didn’t mean for the rooftop incident to happen, but there she was, locked away.
Her family thinks she is crazy.
The doctors think she is crazy.
Well that is until she met the Medicine Man. He was the new physician at the facility. She felt he understood her. She felt he could possibly care for her. Willow felt sparks when he was around.
So Willow will continue telling them what they wanted to hear. Cuz she is not CRAZY. And she feels this doctor could possibly be on her side and help her out of this Crazzzy place!!!“I remember thinking, how can you love your doctor? I mean he’s a doctor. A psychiatrist, no less. Someone who prescribes you meds and arranges your life in a series of therapy sessions.”
Well this is just what Willow did. She fell in love with the Medicine Man. She had to keep it a secret due to where she was being kept, this was sooo unacceptable, Hell it was FORBIDDEN!!!! Andd here is one of my favorite kinds of tropes-Forbidden!!! Hell yesss!!! Gimmie….Gimmie!!! lol
