Alessandro's Prize by Helen Bianchin

4.0

Not her best but still a good quick read. This time a rotten ex-fiancée (caught in bed with his long-time lover) follows his meal ticket to Italy in order to con his way back into her affections. Lily; broadsided by betrayal, goes to visit her Godmother in Italy and starts planning a move to Italy once her substantial business issues are settled in Australia. Her only complication is Alessandro a street-smart self-made business man who is like a son to her Godmother. Lily is disturbed by his attentions and Alessandro, long nourishing a passion for her is in pursuit. My only problem is how predictable her books can be. Sometimes Lily's actions were stupid and self-defeating; especially when she tries to recover from an assault by her unbalanced ex without Alessandro's help. Seriously? Who is that prideful? Especially since the lunatic is not in police custody. I found I liked Alessandro much more than Lily at times.
