About this ebook

The Gentileschi Sisters are daughters of a king, princesses who come to the U.S. to pursue their careers and fall in love with seemingly unsuitable men.

The last thing Brie Gentileschi wants is to deal with someone who reminds her of her kidnapping last year. But when Dante Federico comes on as the new gym teacher in her school, she keeps flashing back to an event that could have ruined her life.

Flummoxed by fourth grade teacher Gabriella Gentileschi’s cold shoulder, Dante has never had to deal with her kind of animosity. He’s just your all-around guy, looking to get along with his colleagues, teach little ones to stay fit and live a normal life.

But when Dante discovers a young student in need of help, he and Brie must work together for the welfare of the child. Who knew he’d be the one, not all the counseling and yoga she’s done, to help her heal from her wounds? Their journey will make readers ache for both of them.

Don’t miss this charming six-book series of novellas: I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, THIS GUY’S IN LOVE, CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE, HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE?, LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER and I THINK I LOVE YOU!

Ratings and reviews

This is Gabriella (Brie) Gentileschi’s story. Brie’s been reluctant to get to know Dante Federico until fate steps in and takes a hand. As they slowly get to know each other, a deeper attraction begins to grow. But there’s something more sinister going on, bringing out Dante’s more forceful protective nature. His reactions cause Brie’s hard-fought-for independence to push back, which may put an end to their relationship before it really has a chance. When clouds of doubt begin to also grow, a real threat emerges which could bring Brie’s safety to an end. This is not just your typical cookie cutter romance. It’s also a story of bullying, stalking, the effects of child predation on the predator’s own children, and methods of dealing with and healing from these issues. All sensitive subjects that are handled in a positive and thought-provoking manner. Come along with Brie and Dante while they deal with life’s bumps and bruises, both physical and emotional. You may find their relationship frustrating at times, but there is also charm and heartwarming affection. Their love story is a roller coaster ride of emotions, drama, a moment of suspense, and some steamy passion. This is an engaging and entertaining read that you may find hard to put down. I recommend this very enjoyable romance!

I’ve been looking forward to this book since we met Dante when Lexy visited Brie’s school, and I wasn’t disappointed. We meet more of the Gentlischis in this book, which is also a pleasure, and, as usual, the sisters support each other – occasionally they get it wrong, which is also heartening 😊. This is Brie’s story, and her determination to be strong wars with Dante’s innate determination to protect – so there are fireworks. There’s also a good twist in the tale that really makes this book, in my opinion. Kathryn Shay’s writing never disappoints, and this is a must-read for fans of the royal sisters. I received an advance copy of this book.

School teachers Brie and Dante, leaving she bumps into his car truck. She has spent sixteen months getting her confidence and self image back. She could do this, saying she would pay for the damages. He only wanted to have coffee for a week in the school. She still insisted to pay for damages. A student with a sensitive nature would be coming, and Brie and Dante would be working with the student. The other teachers were advised to look for any bullying, teasing that might go on. The author handled a sensitive subject very well. Another good story and to this series. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
