This book is getting so much deeper than I thought it would and it looks like this will be a huge series!

I love Brando as he is such an alpha male and hates asking for help but wants to keep Scarlett safe and well protected. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work out too well once she meets his family. Brando works super hard on the rigs and wants to make sure he can provide for Scarlett without dipping into the tainted money from his father.

Scarlett is a wonderful character who almost becomes someone else in Italy as she has to rely on herself and then Maggie Beautiful and Violet to live. I love that she feels like she has so much more freedom over there than she did in Paris.

I thought the whole thing with Brando’s family was done so well on misconceptions and I was shocked about the racing for the family and what it proved.

I really liked the walk between Scarlett and Brando’s grandfather, Marzio.

The end was a huge shock for me and I was not expecting any of that!

I am anxious to see where the next book takes us and if certain characters meet their demise!

Brando Fausti has gone on a deep-sea dive and taken the reader right along with him. That includes not panicking at the depths he has to travel. Scarlett Rose Poesy shows us the love she has for her husband. This third book in the Fausti Poesy saga seems to be all about their relationship. We get to watch them navigate the world of marriage. You also get to travel with them without having to leave your armchair.

In this third book in the Beautiful Years series there are plenty of characters that come and go. Just like us, people come and go and some have a small effect on what happens in our lives. Temptation seems to be a theme here. There seems to be a few enticements that are put in Scarlett’s path. The author does a great job at tempting her readers as well. It had me wondering what else this author was going to put in front of Scarlett – just like that enchanted apple.

In the last book, I thought “soap opera” but with this book I thought “reality show”. It’s like watching their life play out for our enjoyment. In this story, I connected more about what was going on with Scarlett. It was like Brando was taking a back seat so that his wife could shine. But that doesn’t stop family business from sneaking in – even though we don’t see it or read it doesn’t mean that it’s gone away. There are ups and downs in any relationship and I felt a sense of sadness as I worked my way toward the end that left me with a sense of foreboding. I’m so ready for book four – I want to know…

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
