Doc (The Amato Family Book 1) by Abrianna Denae


Consensual Non-Monogamy and medical play as punishment shouldn't go together, but in Doc, the first spin-off book to Abrianna Denae's ALL'S FAIR SERIES, they do. A truly heartfelt and beautiful romance that makes you feel all the love.


From the blurb:

Doc Wescott’s life hasn't always been easy or smooth sailing, but as the Amato Family Head Doctor, he’s made a name for himself in both the medical community and the underground crime world. His close relationship with the Amato Boss, has given him liberties most people don’t have, and it’s allowed him to build a home and family he wouldn’t otherwise have.

When tragedy hits the Family, Doc is the first on scene, using all his skills and contacts as a doctor to do what he does best—save the lives of those who’ve given him a place to belong.

Extenuating circumstances means one of Doc’s assistants is needed elsewhere, and additional help comes in the form of the last person he ever expected, but might have always needed.

Soren Petrov Knightly always knew the Bratva wasn’t for him. Too pretty for his own good, he’s the antithesis to everything the Bratva believes in. When his uncle negotiates an opportunity for him to join the Amato Family, he doesn’t hesitate to take it. A chance to make his own way, without having to censor himself for the comfort of others, is everything he’s always wanted.

When Doc and Soren meet, their connection is instant and unexpected. As their trust grows, they discover an understanding together they never thought they'd have.

Before they can settle into their life together, the Bratva reminds Soren that no one escapes easily—not even the Pakhan’s nephew. Doc and Soren will need to fight against the Organization’s prejudice and old-school ideals if they ever hope to have forever together, or die trying.

*Doc contains morally gray characters, consensual non-monogamy, a bratty boy and his exasperated Daddy, and medical play as punishment. This is a spin-off novel in the All’s Fair universe. While this book can stand alone, reading the All’s Fair Series first will enhance the experience.*


Molly Otto's review:

Our favorite snarky doctor of the Amato family gets his story. If you have met Doc, you know he needs a partner that is both his equal and able to put him in place when he goes to Doc. Soren grew up in the Russian mafia and is given a safe out to be his true self without the fear of being offed for it. Along with Soren comes a bunch of Russians who you can't help but love. Their story shows us another side of the events of ALL I SURVIVE and how these men cope with the stressful situations of being part of this family.

Abrianna shows us how consensual non monogamy is a thing and that it can provide a healthy relationship for all involved parties. The love these men have is different from the Doc from the other yet still valid and beautiful. Without all three, none would be truly fullfilled. It is truly a work of art in the way the relationships were weaved.


Reed Kaye's review:

I loved the All’s Fair Series and looked forward to each story. Doc is the start of a spin off series that includes the characters I love.

Doc has been a member of the Amato family for years. He is a unique personality. He has a big heart but an abrasive exterior. He has been in sort of a friends with benefits with James but both men know the other isn’t that magic one.

Soren grew up in the Russian mafia. His father is a harsh antigay man. Soren knew he couldn’t safely stay so with his uncle’s help he became a member of the Amato family and his and doc’s introduction was an instant attraction minute.

The path these two take to their unusual relationship is page turning. The secondary characters play a big part in this story. I really can’t wait for the triplets story.

This story could be read without reading the previous series but it makes the characters more familiar if the previous is read.
