Review # 1 was written on 2017-05-15 00:00:00 David Paul It started out so well and I was so hopeful! *With Spoilers* A bonafide manhoeing Italian bad boy and an 18 y.o. virgin. He makes no promises while seducing his brother�s sister-in-law on the (his brother and her sister's) wedding day. She finds herself pregnant and loses out on an Ivy League education. (But why could she go to a Calif. University and not Smith�s with the bump was a mystery!) Anyways the sister and the husband adopt the twins and pass them as their own to his family. Now nine years later, the older couple dies (but of course!) and the h travels to Italy to bring back �her kids�. But she gets side tracked by the H (reformed and responsible now!). They are all chummy and practical, and agree on a moc but� The H was suitably despicable to begin with but loses steam within a few pages, and turns tame and boring (and so did the book!). The real problem was the h not telling the H the truth till the very end and she had NO EXCUSE for it! It would still be ok if there was a plot to amuse the reader till then but apart from them resuming their bedroom (formerly beach) activities and preparing for the wedding, nothing much happens. The kids were grumpy and cheerless, and brought out at necessary points. Can�t blame them as this h can do that to anybody. Only the disapproving father of the H causes some waves. And sadly I felt no connection between the h/H. It was more about negotiating and doing the right thing for the children than a romance (interspersed with sex).

Review # 2 was written on 2018-07-22 00:00:00 Jason Franklin This started off so well. Heroine got pregnant after a one night stand the night of her sister's wedding to the hero's brother. She was 18 at the time and had to change her plans for university. She had twins and gave them to her sister and husband to raise as their own. Hero did such a number on her that she hasn't had sex since. Hero was a womanizer for many years, but finally grew up and is now a functioning member of society. H/h meet again when the twin's adoptive parents are both killed. Heroine comes to Italy for the funeral and plans to bring the nine year-old twins back to the US. This does not go over well with the hero or the grandparents or the children. At this point I began to lose patience with the heroine. She said all she cared about were the children, but she made things ten times worse by not telling the hero the truth about his status as baby daddy. Weeks go by where she could have spoken up, but she didn't. By the time everyone had bonded and new plan had been implemented, the heroine blew it up. Worse - she ran away and the children had to chase after her from Italy to the US. WTH? That's fine for a hero to chase down the heroine, but no child should ever have to chase after their mother or mother-figure. The ending was just so gross. The heroine sulked and caused so much new pain for those grieving kids and they had to convince her to come back to Italy. I don't know how they're ever going to feel secure with this new mommy and daddy after the crap they pulled. The angst in this was great. Same with the writing. The romance was fine. I believed that the hero turned over a new leaf and was sincere in his feelings for the heroine. I just can't forgive the lying heroine and her sulking at the end. Preeti has more details in her review, if you're interested.
