4⭐️ A Cinderella-esk retelling of Kimber who inherits her fathers belongings, including his Italian home and bridal couture shop. After being jilted at the alter she decides to stay in Italy and regrow the business with her own designs. She didn’t expect to meet the most handsome, annoying man she’s ever met, or to accept his help and be in his debt.
I really like the relationship she has with her friends, even the most unlikely one. It gave this story an unexpected twist that was interesting. I liked the love/hate relationship between Matteo and Kimber. They were all hot and cold and had amazing chemistry. I liked the twists and turns and how all the plan didn’t unfold until almost the end.

This book was a little too insta love for me! At points in the book the FMC was so irritating. I was so disappointed since I thought I would love the book from the little blurb.

Loved the first book in this series but I can't get into this one at all so I'm going to give up.
Was I supposed to fall in love with Count Egotistical? Was I supposed to want Kimber to fall for a man who invaded her personal space until she felt uncomfortable enough to move, and then followed her to make suggestive comments only to call her a lesbian because she didn't want to speak to him?
There is the flirty stranger/ego plot and there is a man who made me 'eurgh' out loud and immediately want to stop reading.

Cute story, and some open door steam
Las cosas que le pasan a la protagonista son bastantes ridículas. Kimber me sacó de mis casillas unas cuantas veces debido a su comportamiento, pero supongo que juega con la estabilidad mental de cualquiera cuando tu prometido te deja delante de todo el mundo el día de su boda y estás en todos los periódicos, te avisan de que tu padre se está muriendo y tienes que viajar corriendo a Italia para que te digan que tu vuelo fue sobrevendido, seas salvada por el extraño que estaba coqueteando contigo al darte su pasaje en primera clase a cambio de tus bocetos que son tu colección de primavera, y por último te llaman para decirte que tu negocio se quemó, todo eso en el plazo de unos cuantos días. Ooooh y se me olvidada, llegas a Italia y te enteras de que tu padre se casó hace par de meses sin decirte nada y tu hermanastro es el extraño del aeropuerto.
Y no es para nada sexy que una persona sepa que acabas de perder a tu padre y te siga haciendo insinuaciones para tener sexo contigo.

Fantastic read

Tropes: Enemies to lovers, Forced proximity
Kimber’s fiancé decided he couldn’t say “I do” at what was supposed to be their wedding. Hours later she receives the call that her father is on his death bed and she needs to hurry to Italy if she wants to see him before he passes. As she’s waiting for her flight in an exclusive airport bar she meets Matteo, a man who is so handsome she can’t catch her breath. His flirtations fall on deaf ears as she’s grief stricken and has sworn off men. To add to her bad luck the airline informs her the flight was overbooked and she’s to be bumped to the next one. While arguing with the ticket agent Matteo gives her his first class ticket on the same flight in exchange for her sketch book.
After arriving in Italy just in time to hear her father’s final words to her she discovers he’d remarried and that Matteo is her step brother who is also a clothing designer. His designs are highly sought after.
Kimber’s luck goes from bad to worse. She decides to move to Italy and try to salvage her father’s shop after finding out her shop in the states had burned. He was also a dress designer.
The banter and attraction between Matteo and Kimber is top notch. Throw her ex-fiancé also showing up in Italy into the mix anything can happen. This book also has scene stealing animals. A tiny fur ball ankle biter who loves to show her teeth and hates everyone but her owner and a huge black dog who is scared of her own shadow.
You need to read this book to find out who wins Kimber’s heart and if she can salvage her father’s business. The banter in this book is top notch! I highly recommend!
the first book we had Cajun accents, the second in the series was Scottish accents and in this book we had Italian accents. I am now very muchly spoiled to accents!

❓Do you enjoy listening to narrators with accents❓ I do! I’ve listened to Irish, Scottish and Italian recently. If you don’t listen to audiobooks suggest a sports romance book to me.
Haute Couture
Kimber and Matteo were hot with their angry lust filled energy. I never thought this enemies to lovers couple would actually get their act together enough to fall in love and stay together at the same time but they did and found their happily ever after in the Haute Couture world of Italy.
