Customer Reviews

Italian Men

Loved reading this book such a great read. I could not put this book down I felt so sorry for Meghan being drawn into something she did not know yet maybe she did know. But the man she meets who wants her to come to his home for a purpose. Things happen between the two yet they are meant for one another.

wonderful escapist read

I loved this story, it had everything. Real depth of emotion and complex characters, not your usual romance at all. Of course it had the happy ending we needed! I'll definitely look out for more books by this author, she is a real find. Ginny Swart

I couldn't put it down

This book had me turning pages well after the light should have been out for the night. The characters are well rounded and multi layered which adds depth to both the plot and the emotional involvement for the reader. Kate is a skilful writer who can create a scene so vividly that all the reader's senses come into play. I can't wait to read more by her

Excellent Start By New Authour Kate Hewitt

First let me say that couldn't put this book down and when I had to...I rushed back to it ASAP. The main characters Alessandro and Meghan both had multiple layers to their characters. Both shared and inner strength and the "ability" to "love" that had either be bruised or totally cut down by tragedy in their lives. Meghan experienced emotional and physical abuse from an ex-boyfriend, and Alessandro suffered the guilt and anguish caused by the death of a loved one. I like how the author lets these two meet in a most unusual place, that is the beginning setting for their emotional journey together that uncovers, examines and finally heals these two wounded and broken hearts. I enjoyed how the author weaved in the fact these two characters were drawn to each other not merely because of a physical attraction for one another, but ultimately recognizing a kindred spirit. I disagree with the first reviewer of this book, I don't believe at anytime through the course of the story Alessandro abused Meghan. Although I do believe he did try and push her away more out of self-protection and the fear that she would walk away from him, when and if she discovered his secret, just like everyone else in his life had. The story line had a genuine real life feel to it has far as the complexity of human emotions, relationships and spirit. Despite the fact that Alessandro was wealthy I never once saw that he hid behind or used his wealth and status as an intimidation tactic to win over or keep Meghan at his side. Kate Hewitt, is a new author to the Harlequin family and for her first print this is a good start, I look forward to her future works. I would recommend this book as a good Sunday "kick back and relax read".
