rating: 4 stars
An enemies to lovers and fake dating romance set in a beautiful castle in Lake Como in Italy, can it get any better than that?
After getting cheated on by her boyfriend and losing her job at his restaurant all in one day Anna Roberts is stuck living with her dad, an ex-policeman, until one google search leads her straight to her dream job. The catch is she has to pretend to be in a relationship with her annoying neighbour Jake Tucker while menaging a castle in Lake Como.
The Italian Job was a fun and enjoyable read and I finished reading it in a couple of days. I would also say that it's really fast paced and that the plot wasn't too complicated or anything like that. The worldbuilding was very minimalistic which is great since I don't usually like to see a lot of it in a romance book.
The characters were all really interesting and well thought out. The relationship development between Anna and Jake was my favorite part. Their banter was everything and I love how they slowly started falling for eachother.
What I didn't like about this is the constant use of the miscommunication trope. I swear it always ruins the whole experience for me and I wish that it wasn't the case with this book but sadly it was. So much time could have been saved and we could have gotten more of the wholesome content that was piled up in the last chapter instead. If it wasn't for this it would've been an easy 5 star read!
