Time for another review.

Synopsis

This was no cold marble—this was a man! Antonia goes to Tuscany to rebuild her life. The last thing she wants to do is fall in love, least of all with rich, arrogant, aristocratic Lorenzo.

Librarian Antonia Gray has fled England for northern Tuscany after an unhappy love affair to work on the archive of a 17th century Italian explorer, a member of a centuries-old aristocratic family. There she meets his descendent, Lorenzo Quattromani, rich, arrogant, handsome—and engaged to the beautiful and ruthless Giselle. The last thing Antonia wants is to fall in love, least of all with someone so dangerous. His engagement, though, is not what it seems, and Lorenzo breaks down Antonia’s resistance. But Giselle has other ideas.

My review

Reading books taking place in Italy always peeks my interest. Is the author of the book as in love with Italy as I am? Yes, yes I know, I’m not being neutral, as I am an Italian 😂.

So I was very happy that I wasn’t disappointed!

This was an enjoyable story to read on a lazy day. I hope nobody gets offended by my next words, but sometimes reading a story where you can just switch your brain off, it’s all a girl needs!

Reading this book, fulfills all your expectations.

A young woman, heartbroken, runs away to a new country and then the nephew of her new boss is extremely handsome!

And of course, let’s not forget the typical Italian macho behaviour!

But Antonia is not a girl to mess with! And Lorenzo definitely is to figure this out.

There is love, sweetness, drama and an unexpected twist. This made me continue reading the story as even if you know how the story will end, you just want to know how hard the characters have to fight for what they want.

The story has a good speed in it, the chapters don’t drag on and on and on.

One little thing that disturbed me a little bit, was how quickly the ‘love’ word was pronounced. I know it can be possible, but only after a few days meeting each other saying this words, made me frown a little bit.

But this is a necessity in the story. It’s a rather short story, compared to other books I’ve read. So I understand that sometimes the feelings have to emerge more quickly compared to the real life.

So after putting my initial frown aside, I enjoyed reading the rest of the book.

And let me tell you, it was worth it!
