If you haven't read of any of Susie Tates previous books you're in for a real treat. This book has the characters from Beg Borrow or Steal, you do not have to have read this to enjoy Limits but I'd advise you to as it is also a fabulous read and it's so good to catch up on previous characters.
Millie a Radiologist is known as 'nuclear winter' due to her cold attitude and ability to make even the most senior consultants uncomfortable. Pavlov is a happy go lucky surgeon with a love them and leave it attitude to women, he is intrigued by Millie and is determined to find out why she has such a poor attitude towards everyone. Millie is in fact very shy and suffers greatly from anxiety and panic attacks having had an appalling childhood she just does not know how to socialise in any sort of company.
The journey we embark on with these two wonderful people and their friends is wonderful funny, heartbreaking and above all uplifting, to see Millie begin to blossom as Pav falls in love with her is just perfect.
I finished this book with a smile on my face and a feeling of sheer joy. Fabulous!

Another winner from Susie Tate.

From the outside Camilla 'Millie' Morrison looks like she has it all. Beautiful, immaculate clothing, always perfectly made-up, not a hair out of place, amazingly intelligent, ridiculously wealthy. On the inside its a different matter. Crippled by low self-esteem and debilitating shyness she has no friends and her colleagues call her 'Nuclear Winter'. The only people who seem to tolerate her at all are a five year old call Rosie and a 70-something year old senior radiologist called Don who acts as her supervisor.

Pavlos Martakis is a gregarious, popular, loud, confident, uninhibited consultant surgeon. Millie's complete opposite and yet she is drawn to him like the proverbial moth to a flame. As the wit who coined the nickname, he feels a little bit guilty but her cold manner and the way she refuses to even look at people when she dismisses their requests for a scan on one of their patients really annoy him.

Millie has done some ground-breaking research and Pav is desperate for her to present her findings to the Hospital in the Grand Round and more widely at medical conferences but so far Millie has refused all requests for a presentation. Pav isn't used to being rejected, especially by women, and he really can't see why the stuck-up Dr Morrison gets away with her rudeness and refusing to present.

As always Susie Tate has written a sweet, funny romance with endearing characters with some fascinating medical insights thrown in for good measure. I challenge anyone not to love Rosie, or Grammy, or Pav's mad Greek family, or dear Don. Even Pav, although a bit self-centred at first, is totally sweet and so protective of Millie.

I just loved this book and had to start reading it as soon as I got the ARC. The only disappointment is that now I have to wait ages until the next book - fingers crossed it's Kira and the mysterious B.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
