The Complete Lakeside Hospital Series: Five Steamy Sapphic Medical Romances
Lakeside Hospital is a bestselling medical romance series full of hot doctors with sizzling chemistry. Catch up on each of these interconnected love stories now before the final installment, Mouth to Mouth, comes out in 2020.
The Origins of Heartbreak
Alex's world stood still the day her father passed. After more than a year of living frozen in that moment, she decides to take the first steps out of her grief by enrolling in a paramedic program. It's in one of her first classes that she meets Megan, a pretty but aloof medical student who has a few skeletons of her own in the proverbial closet. Can they work together to mend their broken hearts?
A Cut Above
Ivy is determined to be the best neurosurgeon in the state. Friendships, hobbies and romance come second� or not at all. Chloe is smart, witty, and she makes friends with everyone she meets - she's Ivy’s complete opposite. Then one unexpected kiss in the hospital locker room changes everything.
Love Trauma
Krys Stevens is the best trauma doctor at Lakeside Hospital. She runs the ER like a finely choreographed dance, she has coworkers she calls friends, and she’s a superstar at the free clinic where she volunteers. What more could an ambitious young doctor want? One day, a patient arrives in the ER intubated with a ballpoint pen and changes everything � that’s how Krys meets Darcy, a former combat medic and a woman after her own heart.
Labor of Love
Lily Thomas is a pediatrician quickly approaching 40 and all she’s ever wanted is a family. She’s given up on finding Ms. Right, but the day she meets Lakeside’s newest hotshot doctor, Mercedes Stone, is the same day Lily learns she’s finally pregnant. They fall hard and fast, but with a baby on the way that will change Lily's life forever, how could it be anything more than a fling?

wow 5 books in this collection about a group of doctors and nurses each looking for something and in some cases not looking...it came looking for them
even though each book was about a couple what i liked about this collection was how inclusive the author made it to include the other couples and we got to catch up with all of them....
will be keeping an eye out for more books by this author

It has been fun to read these books. They've somewhat blurred into one for me, so I'll keep the review short. My takeaways: The medical setting doesn't do much for me, but with the right characters, it doesn't matter, because the characters will be the heart of the story. Also, in the first book, when the characters still feel more like students, I felt like I could relate to them more quickly. With actual doctors and nurses, I could see them as people/characters, but it was less easy for me to "get inside their heads" and feel things from their point of view (though, of course, like any good author, Cara Malone painted those characters so after a bit more reading, they became just as real, too).
And� book 4 made a perfect ending to this collection: I just loved their relationship and the timing and everything. For me, it's the highlight of the series so far. But I say so far, because I know I still have another to read!

Multicultural and characters from diverse backgrounds?! Finally...
Sweet/steamy stories about four couples who work in medicine like Grey’s Anatomy or any one or more of your favorite hospital dramas. No pesky grammar errors to take your attention from the stories either...Good times (sigh)!

All stories together
Every single book is wonderful as it shows the friendships, the hard times, emotions and feelings. Beautiful stories introducing us to the main characters with realistic dialogues and loveable characters. Just excellent reading

Cara did a wonderful job of keeping the characters alive throughout the series, concentrating on one couple at a time per book was awesome.
Congrats on a wonderful series.
In my opinion, this is a must read.

Good series
I really enjoyed this series. I would have given 4 or 5 stars if it had been more realistic. All of the families accepted the relationships? No way! Mine did but many others don’t.
