A Lightning Fast Tale of Grabbing Love & Holding on No Matter What…
What do you do in the midst of a world wide pandemic? Well, you write a short and steamy, sassy and dreamy smut book, that’s what! Leave it to Flora Ferrari to take something like the Corona virus and use it as fodder for her latest, A Man Who Knows What He Wants, series short.
This one, titled, “Possessive Italian Doctor”, is installment 157 of Ferrari’s series. And while it is another, older man, younger woman tale (a plot that seems to be a favorite for this this author). It is a bit more heartfelt than her normal insta fare. Set in Italy, deep in the throes of a new, deadly virus with no known cure or consistent treatment. We are introduced to Marco, a thirty-something doctor, working around the clock to care for patients affected by the virus. And Kat, a twenty-one year old from America, admitted to Marco’s ER as a high risk patient because of her asthma after exhibiting virus symptoms. Attraction spears them both instantly despite the circumstances However, unbeknownst to them exists a person they both have in common, her father, Marco’s longtime friend.
What follows is a lightning fast tale of grabbing love and holding on no matter what. An insta-everything story of pushing aside fear and going for what your heart is calling for, consequences be damned. And, in our current COVID-19 filled lives, a panty melting reminder to live for today, because tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.
Is it far fetched and over the top? Yes, yes it is. Is it a bit too fast paced, even by Ferrari standards? Sadly, yes, yes it is. I understood the rushed pacing, a way to instill within you the sense of foreboding spiraling around Marco and Kat on every page. A frantic pace that settles heavily in the pit of your stomach as you worry about their health and safety. However, it’s a pace that also prevents you from fully enjoying what Kat and Marco have found in, and with each other. Something that, in the end, was a bit of a disappointment.
However, given the “it could be the end if the world as we know it” story landscape, I understood the pacing even though it had me feeling like I was missing out on the full extent of their love story. Despite its breakneck speed though, it’s still a swoon causing, insta-everything worthy of my novella library, and more than worth the hour or so of time needed to read it, a solid 3.5 star read 🙂
An older doctor and younger women met in the hospital where shes the patient. They fall in love. Its instant everything in this story. The story flows well but seemed fast paced even for an instant love story but I think thats to add to the urgency of the story.

Kat is studying in Italy when she gets sick and admitted to the hospital. With her asthma she’s admitted because of her high risk of having the virus. Marco is the ER doctor that sees her and he’s struck with how beautiful she is. They are mutually attracted to each other and despite finding out that Marco is her fathers longtime friend. Whirlwind romance with the right amount of steam and romance. Another hit from Flora Ferrari. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Don’t be afraid to grab your happiness and forever when it comes your way
I love me a hot and sexy Italian man and in Possessive Italian Doctor Flora Ferrari has hit the right note for me. This story is taking from the current state of the world and adds in the super hot and dirty twists that this author is known for. Plus the usual older man/younger woman, best friend’s daughter/Dad’s best friend taboos and you have yourself a winner with this fast-paced, insta-love and way OTT short story.
Possessive Italian Doctor is a great addition to the A Man Who Knows What He Wants series.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Marco is a doctor in Italy and just happens to be Kat’s father’s best friend. When they first meet it is instant love. This is a very quick read, but that is sometimes what I want. A quick flash in the pan.

This may only be short story but with everything going on in the world at the minute it gives us hope. When Kat is in hospital poorly with the suspected virus sweeping the world, she is lucky on 2 counts one is that her doctor is seriously HOT & second that she doesn’t have the virus but is also immune. Marco the HOT doctor can also sense the sexual chemistry going on between them & although he’s glad she doesn’t have the virus he is sad that he won’t see her again, that is until he gets a call from an old friend saying he had treated his daughter Kat he is shocked & doesn’t know how to feel. Kat feels the same way when she finds out but when he turns up at her hotel when her isolation is over neither can deny the hot sexual chemistry between them almost giving in until he finds out its her 1st time & he wants to make it special so tell her she can stay with him for a few days but when the creepy guy from reception tries to push himself on to her Marco punches him & tells him to stay away from her then tells Kat to pack everything she is moving in permanently. When they get to his house they make love with their bodies as well as saying it to each other. However when her Dad calls & she tells him about her & Marco he is livid but then everything starts to go wrong when Marco is rushed to hospital seriously ill in intensive care with the virus. Kat stays with him & thankfully he recovers giving them their happy ever after back & her dad has come around. This story gives us hope that is much needed.

Marco is a doctor and Kat is his new patient. They share a mutual attraction and discover that Marco is a friend of her father. What will Marco do when David asks him to keep his daughter safe? The setting for this story is Italy in the midst of a global pandemic and that adds a heightened sense of seizing the moment. “Possessive Italian Doctor” lives up to its title with insta-love, romantic Alpha moves and an innocent, likable femme. Told in alternating POV, this sweet with heat short story is an excellent addition to the series.

3 1/2* I’ve enjoyed many of these books and this one is no different. I gave it a lower score because it is very like one I just read. The conflict is the same. However that said I would recommend this book.

The story of Kat and Marco is steamy but sweet. The lead characters are likable, the plot relatable. I especially like the epilogue. It serves as the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, providing hope to those currently suffering.

This was a very cute read. Not that much happening. It is a story that takes place in Italy during the Corona-crisis.
Characters are nice but I felt that something lacked. It had not much depth. They are hot but not more than that.
Nice read and short.
This is the sweet instalove romance of Kat and Marco. He is a doctor and he knows she is the one for him the second she is brought to the hospital. She feels the same and soon it’s not the virus that has her temperature rising. I enjoyed this quick read and the steamy romance. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review
Kat is in Italy when she suddenly doesn’t feel good and thinks it may be the deadly virus going around. What she didn’t expect was to meet the most gorgeous older doctor! Marco is stunned by the beautiful young woman, but she is his patient and he must be professional! When they realize that Marco is her father’s childhood friend they feel guilty for falling for each other. Can they find their happily ever after? Or will her father stand in their way? Another great book by Flora Ferrari!

The whole world is in a pandemic. Italy is not the worst place to be quarantined unless you have to go to the hospital. Kat was visiting a friend in Italy when she was rushed to the hospital for virus symptoms. There she meets and is treated by Marco. Virus clear but stuck in self-isolation until the time is up, she finds out about Marco. Marco also finds out about Kat. A few things happen. Kat’s dad finds out about Marco and Kat. Good characters. Nice to see that the book mentions a global pandemic, that isn’t the only thing it focuses on. This is a fast paced read. It will keep your attention from beginning to end.

Once again we have an older alpha male who is knocked over by the feisty young woman who the moment he meets her knocks him for a loop but who he knows is his.
Marco is a doctor in Italy fighting a global pandemic when a young woman is brought in showing symptoms. Kat couldn’t get home when all borders where closed and now she has been rushed to hospital but maybe her fever is caused by more than the disease maybe the hot doctor treating her is the problem and when she finds out he is friend of her father that just complicates things Will she survive and will they get a HEA You will have to read to see
I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Katie “Kat” & Marco Guiseppe. There is a virus that has hit the hospital that Marco works in Italy, as well as the world. Right now though all Marco can concentrate on is the hospital he is working in since staff is low due to the members of the staff contracting it and not returning. So when he learns he has another patient he just hopes this one will not be like all the others. One look at her though and all he sees is a woman he must save. Kat has come to the hospital since she is an asthmatic and her symptoms line up with the virus. She knows finding out early helps even though there is no cure. Being near the doctor though makes her also feel safe. When she finds it is just a cold and asthma attack she is told to quarantine for seven days. What she wants to do is quarantine herself with him but knows that will not happen. Will these two find a HEA in these hard times or will the virus make that impossible?
This is another amazing hit by this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don’t want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
Another steamy insta love by Flora Ferrari who once again brings strong,likable characters with a hot chemistry. Using today’s news she weaves an intense story that had me glued to the pages. I loved the characters and story line and would recommend this book.
