| Dr. Greg totally looks like one of the guys from Dream Phone |
By: Anne Fraser
The Setting: Modern
times, Somewhere in Africa
The Happy Couple:
Dr. Kirsty Boucher
– a redheaded first year doctor unsure of her skills
Dr. Greg du Toit –
a sexy surgeon who can’t let go of the past
The Set-Up: When
Kirsty finds her fiancé in bed with another woman the day before her wedding,
she needs to get out of town fast. Heartbroken, she travels to Africa to hone
her medical skills in a tiny village hospital. Greg, her now boss, is a gifted
surgeon and a total babe. How can she concentrate on medicine with him in the
room?
The Issue: Kirsty
throws herself into work, trying to erase the image of her cheating fiancé from
her mind. A little unsure of her skills, she finds herself making stupid
mistakes in front of her boss. Greg is sure Kirsty doesn’t have what it takes
to hack it in the African bush. Though he finds her distractingly attractive,
he can’t enter into any kind of relationship. Since the tragic death of his
wife and daughter, Greg believes he will never love again.
Happily Ever After: Close
proximity and long hours at the hospital draw the pair together. The two
finally give in to their lustful urges while on a safari mini-break, but Greg
thinks he’s made a dreadful mistake. He can’t possibly offer Kirsty the love
she deserves. But when a fire breaks out in the village, catching Kirsty in its
wake, Greg realizes he can’t stand to lose another woman he loves. As he pulls
her from the flames to safety, he finally tells her how he feels.
Scandalous Scale: Getting
Warmer
The Verdict: Our
first medical romance certainly did not disappoint. With decent character
development, a fast-paced plotline and an interesting setting, Her Very Special Boss reads like a
really good episode of Grey’s Anatomy
set inside African Lion Safari.
