Italian countess Caprice is living a life few can even imagine. A painter and writer, she indulges herself in her pursuits, most notably with the sinfully gorgeous Visconti twins, Marcello and Massimo. When an enigmatic Frenchman by the name of Philippe-Auguste walks into their lives, nothing is the same. He sweeps Caprice off her feet, much to the twins’ dismay, but then he quickly proves to want the twins just as much.
Tragedy strikes swiftly, however, and the plague hits Italy, wiping out the majority of Venice. With some of her closest friends dying, Caprice is heartbroken, and before long, she finds herself thrown into a mass grave, a brick in her mouth as the populace does with vampires. Can Philippe-Auguste reach her before it’s too late? And will they ever find their beloved twins again?
Quartetto is an amazing story sweeping through late 16th century Italy. The imagery is immaculate and grand, drawing the reader in without fail. From the first paragraph, I knew this would be an exceptional book, and I wasn’t at all disappointed.
The love scenes are true to the period and incredibly hot. Even the scenes of Caprice painting are done with sensuality and with every brush stroke, it feels as if you’re right there with her, feeling her pleasure and, at times, her pain.
The depictions of the plague were heart-wrenching and terrifying, vividly showing the horror of the disease that decimated much of Europe.
This was my first book by these two authors, but I guarantee it will not be my last. Quartetto is one book you don’t want to miss.
