Smokin Hot Italian Meets Fearless English Beauty !

I absolutely loved this book it's definitely signature Abby Green's style at her best. Alicia Parker and Dante D'Aquanni is the Napoleon and his Waterloo of harlequin presents romance. Alicia all five feet of her was a force to be reckoned with, she was a fighter and protected those she loved fearlessly. I loved the fact that she was a woman who had seen the world in some of its cruelest forms but still was able to be optimistic and humble, most of all she did not let Dante's rich and powerful and at times cynical and cruel self cower her. Dante was the type of character that at first glance I thought was going to be a cardboard cut out alpha-male, and at times he was, but Alicia was able to knock him down to size and get under his thick skin, and during those moments I was able to see why he was the way he was, but also that he had depth. It was also refreshing to see that neither hero/heroine was neither saint nor sinner to the extreme, no the author was able to humanize them and make them appeal to the reader which gave the story fullness. Alicia was so strong and feisty and maybe I'm a bit prejudice, but being only a bit over five feet tall myself made me cheer for her even more. I even liked the supporting characters Melanie (Alicia's sister) and Paolo (Dante's brother) I found myself rooting for their happy ending as well. I also liked the characters Derek and Patricia O'Brien they were really full bodied and added to the story and gave you more insight into the main characters, I didn't fill as though they were put there for filler sake. This story had a plot that made you keep reading and the characters main and supporting all had texture and depth. It all came together beautifully! Oh and for you die-hard Abby Green fans did anyone notice that she brought back Xavier Salgado-Lezille from her book "Chosen as the Frenchman's Bride" to make a brief cameo appearance! I recommend this book as a good weekend read. Happy Reading All!
