Synopsis:
Carolina, a Brazilian wedding planner, is dumped unceremoniously at her wedding by Andrew, with the news broken by his brother Max. Four years later, Carolina is fighting for a chance to rebuild her home and life through a business collaboration with famed Cartwright hotel, only to find out her competitors are both Andrew and Max; in an uneasy cooperation, Max finds himself falling for Carolina but Carolina is determined not to make the same mistake of falling for her ex-fiance's brother...

Review:
A book where there isn't any miscommunication between the main leads Lina and Max! I enjoyed this for the writing and the trust bond they eventually developed, plot itself takes a back seat to the character development the leads underwent, example being
Lina and Max accidentally joining a couples therapy session to earn a place for one night after Lina's car broke down, but the way they took the chance to open up to each other about more sensitive cultural and gender issues to gain better understanding, and the sex after that also capitalized on how each wishes to be loved.
. I loved the way they talked things out, including how
Lina would let go of Max to respect his wishes not the be second to his brother in love matters
.
There is a lot of talk on Lina's Brazilian culture, and I enjoyed learning about samba and food!
