This was a sweet and sexy romance that takes place more in the fall than winter, but that’s okay. Iris must work her way through some fabrications that could shatter her romance but she is also dealing with her own problems and self preservation. I was more convinced by the relationship between Iris and Gio than her mother and Santo.
The book is a reminder that it’s a small world, honestly is the best policy, and family is important. It made me wish that I knew more about my own Italian background and that I knew how to make incredible vanilla gelato. Also, Iris’s secret that her mother and Santo had a thing for each other doesn’t seem like a big deal if you live in a town where everyone knows each other going back generations. It was kind of blown out of proportion but I still enjoyed the book.
