*not scientifically proven

Harper is anxiously awaiting placement into a top oral surgery residency program when she crashes (literally) into Dan. Harper would rather endure a Novocaine-free root canal than face any distractions, even one this adorable. A first-year dental student with a family legacy to contend with, Dan doesn’t have the same passion for pulling teeth that Harper does. Though he finds himself falling for her, he is willing to play by Harper’s rules. So with the greatest of intentions and the poorest of follow-throughs, the two set out to be “just friends.” But as they get to know each other better, Harper fears that trading fillings for feelings may make her lose control and can't risk her carefully ordered life coming undone, no matter how drool-worthy Dan is.

Blood, gore, and extra-long roots? No problem. The idea of falling in love? Torture.

Reviews for A Brush with Love

[Andrea Author · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Oral surgery student Harper is focused on finishing her degree and getting into a residency program. Then she meets fellow student Dan, and she's distracted by how much she wants a romantic relationship with him. Can she keep him in the friend zone? Or will their growing romance interfere with her career plans?

I really loved these characters. Both Harper and Dan are well-developed and struggling with wounds that get in the way of making healthy decisions. I'm not a fan of physical humor, and this rom com has a few instances of it. Overall, I enjoyed the plot and thought the book was well paced. Harper and Dan are adorable and really earned their HEA. The narration added to the enjoyment of the book.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the audio ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Dan and Harper are the cutest! They both have their own internal demons they are trying to deal with and the realness of their situations really hit close to home for me. I found myself smiling, laughing, crying, and questioning thought processes throughout this book. Definitely recommend and cannot wait to read the next book by Mazey!

Insta love between two people with way too much unresolved trauma to have any business in a relationship.
