The Italian Billionaire's Determined Lover by Leslie North

This was a great end to the series.  I enjoyed the book and the characters.  It was a great read from the beginning to the end.  I have loved the three books about the Romano brothers.

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

Italian Billionaire's Unexpected Lover by Leslie North

This is the second book in a wonderful series.  I love the setting and the characters.  I like how Luciana drops everything to care for her niece and will do anything for her.  I like how Gianpierre was blindsided by the love for both Luciana and her niece.  This was a great book with a great ending.

More or Less a Marchioness by Anna Bradley

I have never felt so mixed about a book than this one.  I floated between loving it one moment and the next I wanted to scream at the characters.  I didn't like how Phineas "won" the right to propose to Iris after he "lost" his first choice.  There were times in the book I hated how Phineas was treating Iris.  Throughout the entire book, I was rooting for Iris to find a man that loved her for herself.  Phineas kept flipping between Mr. Right and Mr. Big Jerk.

Hunter by Eden Summers

Wow!  I was sucked in with the first chapter.  This book had an amazing punch.  It is nothing like Eden Summers has written before.  It was full of twists and turns with a whole lot of deceit.  The characters had a raw chemistry from the moment they met.  It kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what would happen next.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

The Villain by Victoria Vale

My favorite hero is a villain! I received an ARC from the author in exchange for a review.  I was hooked from the end of chapter one.  What do you do if someone has been systematically destroying your family?  Daphne Fairchild took a chance and rode to Scotland to confront Adam, Lord Hartmoor.  Adam will only tell Daphne why he has destroyed her family if she spends thirty days and nights at his castle.  In the end, she will get a bank draft for thirty thousand pounds but will also be ruined.

I loved the characters but didn't think that Adam was a Villian.  He is extracting revenge for what Daphne's brother Bertram has done to his sister.  Adam is defending his sister. 

I can't wait for the next book!

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!

Giving Chase by Lauren Dane

Maggie Wright is a quiet schoolteacher hiding behind her tight bun and boring clothes.  A friend gives her a makeover before a blind date.  Maggie draws the notice of the Chase brothers.  She briefly dates Shane Chase but he is too deeply scarred by his ex-fiancee's betrayal. 

Kyle Chase has been waiting for his brother to make a mistake and does not hesitate to jump in and take Maggie away.  As they are exploring their new relationship, a stalker from her past threatens them.  Kyle must trust his brother and rely on his family's support to help save the woman he loves.

Where have I been?  Lauren Dane is one of my favorite authors and this is the first time I am reading this book!  It was amazing.  I loved Maggie, Kyle, and Kyle's family.  However, the one thing that soured the book was how nasty Maggie's family was to her.  It was over the top and took something away from the happy feeling I got while reading the book.
