Ratings and reviews

This is an amazing collection of stories centered around the exotic location of Hotel dei Fiori Isola del Sole where love and romance are in the air. All these are fun sexy stories that will give you hours of entertainment. I definitely recommend this collection! The Billionaire’s Temptation- 4 stars - Excellent story! The writing and the characters make this a quick fun read. Rocco De Luca has always lived life fast and hard. Now that he has reached his goal of winning the Formula 1 series he's hanging up his racing gear and donning a suit to take his place in the family hotel business. Steffi Harlan is good at her job. Never did she think that would have her babysitting the De Luca family playboy. Charged with making sure Rocco stays out of trouble while her boss Mateo is out of town proves to be a bit difficult when the trouble he is getting into is her!! I really enjoyed this one. The Billionaire’s Deception - 5 stars - I really LOVED this story! Great writing and characters, excellent pace, and an outstanding storyline. After finding out she has a never known about half sister, Janine quits her job and takes off on a trip traveling around Europe. Her last stop is Isola del Sole where here sister lives and works at the resort. Her good time friends take off leaving her with no money, no clothes, no ID, and a huge bar bill! Luckily the hotel piano player, Shel Myerson, seems to have some pull with the acting GM and knows her sisters fiance. When he comes to her rescue she is beyond grateful but getting to know the real Shel may turn out to be more than she's ready for! This is an awesome quick read that truly enjoyed. The Billionaire’s Betrayal - 4 stars - This is Matteo's story and it's excellent. Since his fathers death, Matteo has been completely focused on getting the family hotel empire back on solid ground. One last piece of the puzzle is to get all the shares back into family hands. the one hold out is the widow Helena Von Lienz. Her husband was killed in the same car crash as Matteo's father. While he is definitely trying to get her to sell him back the share of his company she owns, he's also wildly attracted to her. How can she possibly know if he wants her or if he's still all business??? A great, quick read! The Billionaire’s Secret- 4 stars - A wonderful addition to the Amalfi Night series. When Sophie Smith and Declan Muldoon meet on Isola del Sole neither is exactly what they appear to be. She's visiting the luxury resort and he assumes she is a rich socialite. He's working as a landscaper for the resort so she assumes he is a blue collar worker. Both will be surprised when they find out the truth about each other! This is a good one and I definitely recommend it. The Billionaire's Charade - 5 stars - This was a fun, light, sexy read and I thoroughly enjoyed it! For someone who has recently gone through major heartbreak, a wedding is the last place you want to be. So when Summer St. Croix meets the incredibly handsome Luke Vanetti and they decide to ditch the reception and make some fun of their own, no problem, right? Wrong!! When Summer shows up for the first day of work at her new job and finds out Luke is actually one of her bosses, the fun doesn't seem quite worth it. Add the fact that her first assignment is to accompany Luke, posing as a happily engaged couple, to an exclusive resort to add an additional layer of security for an upcoming wedding and yeah, the situation is a bit strained!! This one is well written, and I loved these characters. A very fun read!

​ Five great authors! What a great collection. I have only read one of the five stories. I look forward to reading the other four stories. I will update my review as I read each one. 4 stars "The Billionaire's Secret" by Kathleen O'Brien is book four in the "Amalfi Night Billionaires" series. This can be read as a standalone book. This is Sophie Smith and Declan Muldoon's story. Sophie Smith is a high school art teacher. Her mentor and best friend has planned a two-week vacation at an Amalfi Coast luxury resort but is unable to go. She wants Sophie to go and pretend that she is a rich and pampered socialite. Sophie is an average girl and not being honest is hard for her to do. But since it's her closest friend she will do it for her. Sophie meets Declan Muldoon, who is doing a temporary gardening job for the resort owner. Declan is the black sheep of a very wealthy and powerful family who appears to need an heiress. This is a sweet romance. The author also did a great job in the description of the gardens and sights that you felt like you were there. I enjoyed the supporting characters too. A great way to escape for a little while. I have received a copy of this book from for an honest review.
