Venice is the perfect backdrop for Normandie Alleman's lively and entertaining characters caught in the love triangle in Venetian Love Knots.Alleman diligently develops three very different characters for this love triangle. Fool-heartedly, Allison, a kind, sensitive, and popular girl, fell in love with Cole, a rodeo cowboy. Cole, always in it for the sex, never allows himself to become emotionally invested. Allison is nervous to be seeing Cole at her friend's wedding because their relationship had ended dramatically years ago. Nico, a widower, has thrown himself into his work believing that he will never find love again. This love triangle heats up when the three of them meet at a wedding. Even after years of separation, Allison feelings for Cole haven't changed, and she falls right back into a sexual relationship with Cole when she sees him in Venice. The chemistry between Allison and Cole is scorching hot. Cole likes to dominate in the bedroom, and Allison is more than willing to let him. Unfortunately for Allison, Cole, despite his vows of love, continues to treat her badly outside of the bedroom. On the other hand, Allison and Nico's chemistry is explosive and meaningful. The author does a brilliant job of showing that Nico's feelings for Allison are much deeper, both emotionally and physically, making you hope that Allison will make the right decision in order to fulfill her happiness.Venetian Love Knots delights with its engaging characters and stunning plot twists, which lead to a wonderfully romantic conclusion in Italy's City of Love.I received an eBook copy from the author for purpose of an honest review for The Jeep Diva. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
