What to say about this story? Well…it was a difficult start… I began reading one day and after 1 page I had enough of it… Was I in the wrong mood? Could be… So I put the book aside, wanting to give it a second chance.

At the second chance, I read the first pages again, and had again enough of if…

So it was clear to me that really starting in this book would be a real challenge.

Time for a time-out and start again with a clear mind.

So there we were 2 weeks later…

My main thought at the start was: Don’t give up, keep reading! Just get past the first few chapters and then you’ll get drawn in the story as usual!

Now that I have read the whole book, I am not sure what to think of of…

Was it that bad? No, of course it wasn’t but I just didn’t get attached to it.

Cassie may have her own ‘concierge’ bussiness, but I would think that she would have some more common sense…

She doesn’t look forward to work together with her first love again. But she accepted a very suspect job, and she want to know if it’s all legit.

And suddenly she’s travelling to San Remo with that same ex-boyfriend Jake.

How so, apparantly she isn’t so immune for his charms? Didn’t see that one coming at all! (Sarcasme, in case you didn’t notice…)

Of course every love story comes at a point where someone does something wrong, or a secret comes out at the wrong moment.

But here Cassie is in my opinion a bit shallow and in a couple of minutes the fight is over.

Don’t know about you, but if someone I knew would pull me that trick, well, it would take days or even weeks before I could have a decent conversation with that person.

And Jake is a little bit too smooth… British young man moves to the States, comes back with lots of money and great looks.

He wants the girl, and with some sneaky tricks gets the girl…

Summarizing, I finished the book and I wasn’t that sorry I’ve reached the end of it.

I expected more intrigues, more depth and on a very personal note, more San Remo (being an Italian-Belgian / Belgian-Italian).

Hopefully her next books will be more of my thing!
