What a fabulous finish to this series I loved it MS Berlin has written a keeper that will have you savouring every word as the last Valentino brother Dante meets his match in surgical nurse Lis Bradshaw and what a sensual passionate ride this one is sit back and enjoy I did.
Dante has many secrets that he has kept to himself for many years and even though he is close to his brothers after what they went through when they were younger he feels the need to keep these, but his brothers are all now happily married with children and children on way so it is his turn so as they will not worry about him and when fate brings his best surgical nurse into the club he is playing piano at he feels things are about to go his way or maybe not.
Lise is good at her job she has been through a lot as a child and is all alone no family and she does not feel the need to have a man in her life but a baby is something else and her plans to be a single mother are going great just a few more things to sort out and with a few of the other nurse trying their best to get her paired up with blind dates brings her to the Inferno club where she doesn't meet her date but runs into Dr Valentino the man who she works with and has always been drawn to life is about to change for Lise.
This is a sensual passionate story both Dante and Lise have a few things in common from their past and maybe the pair can both meet each others requirements in life with not a lot of problems but they cannot deny the emotions and sparks that start to fly from their first night together. The banter between them will have you smiling there is humour and the strength that Lise shows will have you cheering her on and Dante's protective streak is so alpha I loved this story the characters are so real and of course meeting up with the other family members is so good, thank you MS Berlin for a fabulous story that ticked all of the boxes I highly recommend this one it is so emotionally beautiful as was this series.

Dante’s Shock Proposal by Amalie Berlin
(Hot Latin Doc series)
Dante Valentino has many secrets. He is actually a doctor and yet plays piano in a band and owns a club called The Inferno.
Nurse Lise Bradshaw is at the club and has been stood up by a blind date. She is upset till she sees Dr. Dante Valentino who is her boss.
They have a dance and the attraction really gets heated but they both have a trust issue and are so cautious. Dante is hopeful that Nurse Lise will keep his secret since none of his family knows about the club.
Nurse Lise wants a family, she has the nursery ready and she is going to choose a sperm donor. Will Dante be convincing enough to make him the perfect match for her?
There is so much in this book; however I do not want to spoil the entire story. But trust me you will enjoy the story.
This is the 4th book in the Hot Docs series and Amalie Berlin deserves more than the 5 stars I can give her. Enjoy the story.

Amalie Berlin has the most talented and incredible way of crafting simple words into a story of joy and hope and something I just didnt want to put down.
A wonderful conclusion to the series which focused on brother Dante, who is not only a surgeon but a piano player in a club which Lise finds herself in one night.
I love it when an author manages to get some humour into their story, it adds another dimension to the characters and has me chuckling away. I loved the build up and the dance of love Dante and Lise have to perform before they get their happy ever after, which both characters very much deserve!
A wonderful, wonderful series which I am going to read again.

Dante’s Shock Proposal by Amalie Berlin is book number 4 of the Hot Latin Docs quartet. It’s a fun, witty yet moving story. When Nurse Lise Bradshaw got stood up on her blind date at The Inferno club she discovers that her boss, Dr. Dante Valentino, plays piano in the band and that he also owns the club. Attraction flares between them but they are both cautious and untrusting.
Dante has secrets upon secrets and Lise is wary of him because of it, yet she can’t help wanting to trust him. Lise has a life plan that includes starting a family of her own, the nursery is ready now she just needs to decide on the donor. But Dante will do anything to convince her that he is the perfect match for her
I loved the sense of humour displayed in the book. The characters are very easy to relate to, they are stubborn, funny, compassionate, caring and they have tempers like normal people. I recommend this book to any romance lover.

With the final story in the Hot Latin Docs series, Amalie Berlin brings us Dante's story! He's an intense brooder with the weight of the past on his shoulders. I didn't connect with him quite as much as the other brothers .. I think maybe because he was more closed off with his secret past and less out there, but I did enjoy the draw between he and Lise. It was a joy to get to know this family!
Surgical nurse Lise Bradshaw has never needed a man to make her life complete, so her plan for the future without one shouldn't be all that surprising!
Doctor Dante Valentino has a big hang-up about letting anyone get too close. He loved and lost a lot in his youth, and it cost him too much of himself. He loves his family and he even wants a family of his own, but he's not looking for love!
There's a mighty strong pull of attraction when these work colleagues meet up on the dance floor of a jazz club, but the biggest shock is yet to come ... when Dante proposes marriage!

Dante’s Shock Proposal by Amalie Berlin draws the curtain close with a bang in the Hot Latin Docs series! The fiery spark and the pulverizing hotness in this dramatic medical romance add the extra flair to keep you turning the pages. Lise Bradshaw is fierce and intelligent. She knows exactly what she doesn’t want—a man. However, her encounter with Dante Valentino makes her discard sensible logic. After a passionate affair, Lise and Dante are basically left with one choice. Would they be willing to give up on each other?

I enjoyed this one ever though all of them were great books and suitable for re-read. Dante had his past like all of the brothers but it was harder for him to let go and the behavior that had made money for his family was too much a part of him.

The final book in the series about the Valentino brothers. Dante is thrilled all his brothers are happily married and is contented to just do his thing which is be a doctor by day and visit his club "the Inferno" and play piano by night. What he doesn't count on is finding surgical nurse Lis Bradshaw at loose ends in his club. Hoping she will never give away his secret he finds himself drawn to her. He has no intention of ever getting tied down and Lis having no family has decided all she needs in her life is a baby not a man to go with it. Two people with secrets and desires are thrown together and sparks fly. Ms. Berlin has added every element to make this a fantastic romance that will stay in you mind for a long time. Dante is so strong but protective and the banter between the two will have you smiling even when they aren't . I especially enjoyed when the other brothers are reintroduced in the story. A wonderful story and a fantastic conclusion that leaves you warm and cozy.
