Not my favorite from the author, but it’s got plot, tons of spice and the characters can be lovable. Here’s what I loved - 

• An interesting whirlwind love story 
• Enrico - the family dynamic and his inner turmoil was written well

Although this book had tons of spice, it also got to be a bit repetitive and felt like filler when the story could’ve kept moving on. I also struggled with the FMC, Olivia. It was hard to love her - the decisions she made, her thinking, it all just didn’t fit for me for her ~30 year old character. 

Overall - love the author, ok book, but do not think I’ll read the next in series.
