Book Description
Matthew VanRyan
ER doctor, prankster, friend to all.

Love is one prescription he refuses to fill ever again.
Until he meets her.
The one with the sweet smile, soft eyes, and gentle touch.

Until life comes between them and they are forced to agree: the right person at the wrong time.
But when fate steps in and brings them together, can the doctor and the nurse heal themselves?
Author's Note
Paging Dr. VanRyan is a complete standalone contemporary romance—an emotional medical romance with a wounded hero, a heroine who sees straight through him, a year apart that nearly ends them, and the guaranteed happily ever after you've come to expect from me. No cheating. No cliffhanger. Just two people who found each other at the wrong time and refused to let that be the end of the story.
About Melanie Moreland
New York Times/WSJ/USAT International bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of thirty-plus years. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.
While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.
Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling downstairs), and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily-ever-afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.
My Thoughts
Paging Dr. VanRyan by New York Times bestselling author Melanie Moreland—brought to life through an exceptional, emotionally rich dual audio performance by Maxine Mitchell and John Lake—is a deeply moving, heartwarming contemporary medical romance that delivers an unforgettable second-chance love story filled with angst, healing, and profound devotion.
The story centers on Matthew VanRyan, an ER doctor whose easy smile and playful prankster persona conceal a deep, silent pain from his past. Having vowed never to open his heart to love again, Matthew’s entire world shifts when he meets Maddy, a dedicated nurse-in-training with a sweet smile, soft eyes, and an intuitive nature that sees straight through his guarded exterior. Matthew inherits his father Richard's intense passion alongside the genuine kindness of his mother, making him the ultimate blend of swoon-worthy charm and emotional vulnerability. Maddy, having worked through a difficult past to realize her dream of becoming a nurse, is the quintessential heroine—strong, resilient, and deeply relatable. The instant spark between Matthew and Maddy quickly deepens into a fast, all-consuming connection, but when external circumstances force them apart for a heart-wrenching year, they are crushed by the reality of being the right people at the absolute wrong time.
What makes the narrative so captivating is the emotional journey of their separation and ultimate reunion. Fate eventually brings them back into each other's orbits, forcing both the doctor and the nurse to confront their lingering wounds and find a way to heal together. Re-entering this beloved universe feels like coming home, as Maddy is welcomed into the warmth and embrace of the tight-knit, extended VanRyan found-family. Watching Maddy—who has never known such unconditional affection—experience the fierce love of the VanRyan clan adds an extra layer of sweetness and heart to the story.
Maxine Mitchell and John Lake deliver a brilliant narration that elevates every ounce of humor, angst, and swoon-worthy emotion. Capturing the raw vulnerability of two people refusing to let timing define their destiny, their performances ensure that every stolen moment and tender touch resonates deeply. Brimming with relatable characters, undeniable chemistry, and a guaranteed, deeply satisfying happily ever after, Paging Dr. VanRyan is a triumph of romantic storytelling that stays with you long after the final chapter.
