The
debut novel from SYTYCW winner Amanda Cinelli! Suave, sensual and
utterly scandalous… Leo Valente is as notorious as the tabloids make him
out to be. But feisty wedding planner Dara Devlin isn't deterred. She
needs his family castle for her top client, so she boldly accepts Leo's
outrageous challenge to be his fake girlfriend. If Dara thinks her
sensible suit and unwavering professionalism will discourage him, she's
mistaken. They only make Leo want to get beneath her buttoned-up
exterior all the more! Surrounded by the imposing walls and haunting
memories of his opulent Sicilian castello, Leo finds seducing Dara is
the perfect diversion-and claiming her will be this playboy's ultimate
prize. And the story continues in the bonus novella included! AMAZON LINK
4 STARS
This was a quick, enjoyable story with plenty of emotion as well as some sexual sizzle. I'm glad though that the sex wasn't something that was instantly acted upon.
Leo was quite the surprise especially since there was so much hidden suffering. Everyone thought he had led such a golden life and that was so far from the truth. And Dara had her own personal tragedy that she had pushed deep. She never wanted to feel less-than ever again.
I liked how the story finished along with the bonus novella that shows an even better bonus to their lives later on. I viewed " Christmas at the Castello" as an Extended Epilogue.
