Synopsis
Katarina Narvaez has everything going for her—a new job as a neurology physician assistant at a well-known medical facility in Philadelphia and an attractive neighbor with the most striking green eyes who is quickly becoming one of her favorite people.
Until she discovers her new patient, whom she inherited from the previous neurologist, is none other than said green-eyed neighbor, Alessandro De Laurentiis, who happens to live with multiple sclerosis. Oh, and he’s on her brother’s hockey team, the Philly Scarlets.
The rules are clear—this relationship is off-limits, and Kat isn’t ready to risk her career for a man she just met. But Ale isn’t willing to quit that easily and refuses to give up until he convinces her that their connection is worth the risk. Seeing no other way to make it work, Kat decides to drop Ale as a patient so they can continue to foster their newfound relationship. But with the media hounding them for stories and prying into their lives, Kat and Ale are forced to live their budding romance in the eyes of the public.
When one nosy reporter decides to dig deeper, she sets off a series of misfortune for the couple and forces Kat to relive events from her past that she wants to keep buried.
Will the threats, lies, and manipulations of the media keep Kat and Ale apart? Or will they find their happily ever after in and out of the press?
My Thoughts
When I found out that I would be able to get my hands on Giuliana Victoria’s book, ‘Quiver’, I was so excited and texted all my friends right away about the book I was reading and they were jealous. They had good reason to be as ‘Quiver’ has everything a romance reader wants. And this book not only has the typical romance to it but it adds a level of emotion with the backstory of the characters and what they are going through. I have to say Giuliana did an amazing job writing for every character. Each character is not an easy job to write with the medical issues and what happens with the story ARC, but Guiliana was able to pull it together.
Kat and Ale in the book sure had chemistry. The spice in this book was done very well. It was there and you could tell the characters had it but it didn’t overpower the book and the story that was being told, which is something I enjoy when there is a good balance between spice and story.
On a whole as much as I loved this book there was something I couldn’t tell that was missing. ‘Quiver’ is getting 3 ½ stars with a sizzle rating of 3. As this is Giuliana’s first book I still highly recommend this story. You will love it right from the start and it’s a good read to get away from what is happening in the world.
‘Quiver’ is now out and available wherever you get your books and if you are a Kindle Unlimited member you have this book included in your membership.
**I would like to thank Giuliana Victoria for the ARC copy of this book. Getting the ARC Copy did not influence my thoughts on the book as they are all my own.**
