“Amazing Book”

When the heroines jealous tramp of a sister stole her boyfriend by sleeping with him, the heroine decided to go to Italy. It was in Italy she met the hero and his young sister, entirely by accident. It was then, that the hero welcomed her to stay at his villa. Little did she know the problems she’d face. Secret affairs and pregnancies. Old fiancees and lovers. A jealous sister intent on stealing any man in sight. A rushed wedding and a proposal.This novel is action packed with all sorts of drama that turns out great. I loved that there was something going on in this novel, no time to be bored. It wasn’t cluttered either, so you weren’t confused at all. In fact it was written pretty perfectly. Easy to fell the emotions and fall in love with the characters you were reading about. Excellent read!

It’s so lovely to read a Mills & Boon novel where the conflict is more normal drama, rather than unbelievable melodrama. Vittorio and Cherry’s developing romance was really sweetly written and surprisingly innocent despite some of the conversation (I think this is one the first M&B I’ve read with no sex in it). In terms of relaxing reads, this is definitely one of them. The plot doesn’t move along particularly fast, but with it’s descriptions of Italy (and in particular Italian food) I get the feeling that this would be a great book to take on holiday and relax on a beach with. It’s a very pleasant read, and while I wasn’t getting all overwrought along with the characters, I don’t think the tone of the book made me enjoy it any less.

This book has the vibe of an old harlequin. It is too tame to be considered an H Presents, it belongs more to H Romance. Sweet romance, gentle attraction, virgin heroine, no Hero’ point of view, no angst & no conflict whatsoever. Lots of description of Italy & the Italian’s food.I am particularly disappointed by the absence of the H’s POV and the absence of any signs of his love towards the h, which make him appear one-dimensional, with no emotional depth. Cherry is sweet & kind, within the confines of the traditional h’s criteria.
