by Bronwen Evans (Goodreads Author)

Abby Taylor walked out on her irresistible husband three years ago. Now she has no choice but to return to Italy to ask him for a favor. To pay for her grandmother's heart operation she needs his money, but it comes with strings attached.

Conte Dante Lombardi has it all—an Italian villa, a successful family business, and a noble title. But he needs a child to carry on his legacy and time is running out. He also hopes to satisfy the desire Abby rouses in him.

As Abby uncovers why he’s in such a hurry for a child, she falls in love with him again … just as she realizes it might be impossible to keep her end of the deal.

My Review....

Well this book had good qualities and angst.  With Dante and Abby you do feel the connection between the two but I got frustrated at times with the repeated misconstruing between the two. 

The book was a quick read and it was quite sweet. In the end part what Dante's family does for Abby and Dante is profoundly beautiful.  In this book love definitely wins in the end. 

Dante and Abby had to do some soul searching and growing up before they could really be together.  After all the mix ups and finally learning the art of communication and actually listening they find their way back to where they need to be. 

This book was short, sweet, passionate and loving.  I liked it.

3 Thumbs up!
