Ratings and reviews

This story is the start of a new series about two cousins and how they find love on the shores of Lake Como. This first story belongs to camerawoman Gianna Capellini. She’s can’t wait to get to the villa she inherited from her grandmother after not only ending a relationship she thought would lead to a future but also quitting her job because of that man. Exhausted and anxious to get home, a dog catches her attention as does his owner, Dario Marchello. Imagine her surprise when she finds out the man is renting her home for the month. A truce is reached between them. One that gets complicated when the fake engagement they fabricate snowballs and feelings develop . This is a story about new beginnings, family expectations, taking chances , and finding love when one least expects it. A sweet story perfect for an afternoon of leisure. I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

A miss communication means Gianna and Dario are both stuck staying together at Gianna's which turns into a good and bad thing, good because Dario has the opportunity to continue with his book and bad because neither of them correct Gianna's cousin Carla when she thinks they are engaged due to Gianna's inability to tell Carla who last relationship is over which is why she is back home. As much as I liked Gianna and Dario, Tito stole my heart, Gianna and Dario are so good for each other but are also so gun shy about talking about their feelings, which leads to awkward moments, miss communications as well as magical kisses which in turn has you continually turning the page needing to know will Gianna finally realise her passion along with Dario standing up to his family and how will it all go down once the fake fiancé story isn't needed anymore!!! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
