Giorgia Manfredi: daughter of Ugo, in line to inherit Hotel Villa Martino, has two half-siblings, has never been kissed, feels locked into a life she is not sure she wants, wants more.

Danny Davies: has made wrong choices in the past, is working to be a better man, has a difficult family situation, spends a lot of time running, wants more.

Matteo Arnolfi: thoughtful, calculating, works at the hotel, loves his boat, has a girlfriend, wants more

This is a book about life choices, love and family. When does one’s own needs become as important, or more so, than those of the people you admire and love? This is a dilemma 22 year old Giorgia is facing. She never has time off, is always over-protected by those around her and really wants to do more than what is lined up for her. Sure, running the hotel is something she knows and knows well but she would really like to find love – true love – like some she knows have found. And, one evening when she has her purse stolen from her, two men appear to help out and two very different men they are. Matteo works for her and might eventually step into management at the hotel while Danny works for the city as a gardener. Her heart knows what it wants but will she achieve her heart’s desire?

Though book three in the series this book stands on its own. That said, reading the first two books will provide more background for this story. It is a love story but also has a mystery to solve. In my opinion it fits best into the New Adult genre.

Thank you to the author for the copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. ( )
