Italian Billionaire's Stubborn Lover by Leslie North

Adeline Peluso is a luxury real estate agent that came to Italy to recapture her family's heritage after she inherited an apartment in Sicily.  She has watched the resort she loved deteriorate when it is neglected by the owners.  As the real estate agent for the property, she is about to throw in the towel when one of the owners of the hotel comes to her office.  He is absolutely gorgeous - tall, dark and handsome.

Billionaire Nicolo Romano is an adventuresome globe trotting citizen.  He refuses to set down roots.  Nicolo and his brothers have inherited the family resort and they want to sell it fast.  Nicolo comes back to the hotel he loved as a child and meets a woman who feels as passionately about restoring it as he does selling.

Nicolo and Adeline have a steamy romance but can they make their relationship work and have an HEA?


I loved this story - from the plot to the characters, it was a well-written novel,  I liked the setting and could picture the Romano del Mare.  Nicolo changed from the beginning to the end of the book.  Adeline was a great heroine.  Again, another great book from Leslie North!

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you!
