The series is set in New York City and was written before 2020. It makes no reference to recent events.
British doctor Lea Holm has come to New York to work in her chosen field of emergency medicine. She loves her new life in this exciting city and can’t wait to get started with her research project. The last thing she needs are distractions.
But then she meets famous actor Ricco Como in her building – a distraction if ever there was one. He’s gorgeous and sweet, and there’s an immediate connection between them. Lea tries to resist temptation, but when he comes to her for help dealing with his steadily worsening migraine she can’t turn away from his plight.
As Ricco’s health takes a turn for the worse, their lives become more and more entwined. But can their growing attraction withstand the strain of his ill health, and can he let Lea be more than just his doctor?
**This novella series contains detailed descriptions of long-term health conditions, cheating and a bereavement.**
I'm having a hard time reviewing this book because I haven't been able to connect with the story or the characters.
To begin with, I have to clarify that this author is new to me, her way of writing has left me with the feeling that something is missing, I felt that her words lack life, emotion, I feel them very cold and if we add that her characters seem to act like teenagers when they are already adults and professionals it only makes me more confused with what I have read.
I could never connect with Ricco and therefore understand him, I am not convinced that he wants to have a love relationship with Lea because his attitude is not that of a man in love, but it seems that because of his constant migraines he wants to have someone to take refuge in and help him control them.
And Lea is not a character that projects charisma and love either, it goes like clockwork and it seems that behind their insecurities when compared to Ricco's exes they hide an important event in their lives but that the author does not clarify or mention.
And finally I realize that this book is just the beginning of a series, which if I knew that it would be the same characters in the next ones I would not have started it, I had the idea that is a different characters on each book with a HEA, I do not like to wait for the happy ever after and more if the book specifies that there is cheating, this last thing is something that I do not like or tolerate even in books.
So this book was definitely not for me, but as I always say read it and come up with your own opinion, very often I find that is very different then mine and that’s totally ok.
I thank the author and BookSirens for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Thank you very much.
