Goodreads Synopsis:

Nurse Nanase has striven to once again meet the prince of her dreams, so how is it he’s become such an aggravating doctor?!

After witnessing a handsome and charming young doctor saving a stranger’s life five years ago, Nanase Sakura trained to become a nurse. But when she meets the doctor again and they start working together, she finds Kairi Tendo to be nothing like the man she imagined him to be!

Her first love is a Dark Lord with an awful personality! Nanase respects him as a doctor, but he still makes her furious!

Nanase became a nurse to chase after Dr. Kairi Tendo. Unfortunately, now she must deal with his tyranny. He kisses her and calls it a medical treatment. He’s good at his job, but he’s a despicable man! Despite this, Nanase does something unexpected to the Dark Lord!

Review:

Nanase is comfortable at the hospital, though she's still learning. Tendo is her attending now, but then a new doctor shows up. Nanase is struggling with their disagreements, and her rediscovering of her feelings for Tendo. Despite her previous thoughts, she still clearly has feelings for Tendo. When she gets a bad recurring patient, Tendo steps in to help her out.
The chemistry and story are definitely getting better. I enjoyed the characters more in this volume. I don't really appreciate the attempt at a triangle, though I don't think it'll go farther—or at least I hope not.
One thing I noticed, though, was how none of the other staff are worried about the growing feelings between Nanase and Tendo. It started out mostly joking and because of their history, but now it's pretty obvious they're starting to have something between them. I guess a conflict of interest in business isn't as big of a deal there? Or, maybe it's not as big of a worry in the medical business, even, as it would be in some jobs? It seemed weird to me, but maybe that's why.
Still, this is definitely getting better. The characters and story are growing on me.
