The Italian Job by Kathryn Freeman

What a fun romance! What I loved about this book is the lightheartedness, the dreamy, romantic quality of being in a romantic location, and of course, I love the fake dating trope. What I didn't like is the miscommunication trope - I need my MCs to communicate properly, like adults! Ugh! Everyone was a bit childish and juvenile and unprofessional.

I totally expected the owners to end up gifting them the place, but it was much too soon, based on their rapport and relationship at the time of the gifting, not plausible at all. I just didn't feel it.

I still enjoyed it, and I love that I was able to finish it in 24 hours and right now, I just really feel like I need to binge on some more light romances.
