Synopsis

No ties. No expectations. No risks. Antonio Giovanni, a fifth-generation winemaker in the rolling hills of Tuscany, is the epitome of temptation. Tall, dark, and handsome with an accent sexy enough to leave a trail of women’s panties in his wake. The man wears charisma like a fine silk suit…flawless and molded to perfection in all the right places, leaving just enough mystery to make you wonder what lies beneath the faultless exterior. Hope Tidwell, a world-renowned sommelier, is a strong independent woman who fights to have control over every aspect of her life. She makes her own money, her own decisions, her own happiness, and her own mistakes. Her existence doesn’t need to be validated by a man; she refuses to ask for anything except an orgasm, and even those she can manage on her own. Relationships for most people are as natural as breathing. However, Hope and Antonio are two players who master the art of seduction and the fear of emotional intimacy. When tragedy strikes close to her heart, Hope is fated to do the one thing that terrifies her most. Destiny reveals the biggest gifts often require the greatest sacrifices.

I just finished the Italian and

Muck Fe it blew me away!

It was a brilliant all encompassing story.

I laughed, cried, and panted like a wanton hussy at times.

GOOD Gawd Preston has risen

to the next level of greatness!!!

I definitely know what to expect in Preston''s books and she caught me

off guard with this one.

I was absolutely enamored

by every aspect of this story.

It absolutely stole my heart.

It wasn't just about Hope and Antonio, it was about their families too!

Hope and her sister Faith had a

remarkable bond due to their less than desirable upbringing.

Well, mostly their absent,

poor excuse for a mother!

They basically just had one another

as family and they didn't

take that for granted!

Antonio grew up very close to his brother, but as they got older circumstances changed that and they grew apart because of it.

Hope and Antonio didn't do serious,

but they seriously did each other as often as they were together in the same country. Their bedroom fire was always hotter than an inferno, but always short lived due to Hope's work schedule. They pretty much had like a vacation fling.

Those two were the uncommitted ones in both their families.

They shared more than steamy nights together, they also shared a frienship but very much just skimming the surface.

When they finally opened up to one another it was like watching the grand finale on the 4th of July.

Emotionally

Physically

And Mentally.

It was beautiful!!!

The writing was superb, from the description of the Tuscan view, to the scorching hot angsy touches, nips and licks.

This story is everything you need to end off 2016 with a bang!!!!

Even though 5 stars aren't nearly enough for this Heart touching, panty wetting book!

I'm giving it my highest recommendation

for reading ASAP.

I totally loved this fucking story!
