Review: 2.5 stars for a blah romance but a Hot Hero
Rating: 3 out of 5

Well ....The good news is that it is a short, quick read. And Dionne peppers the book with references to Italian culture and food and that sort of thing. Oh, and Michelangelo is gorgeous and swarthy, just like I like my Hot Heroes to be.It's just that Carly is so insipid that I ceased caring about whether or not she was happy, and I even started hoping that Michelangelo would find someone else. She worries, for a bit, that he did, but in truth Michelangelo is distracted by some family financial problems, the existence of which leads him to the tour guide job in the first place.I did enjoy reading about the orchestra and Carly's playing, and of course I enjoyed reading about Michelangelo. The rest of the book sort of fell flat for me. Maybe it's because I really really wanted it to be good. I tend to enjoy books set in Italy, and I was looking forward to this one. I wanted my Hot Hero to have some Hot Headboard Rockin', and I wanted to like the heroine.I read this book a few weeks ago, and I can't remember if there is any Hot Headboard Rockin', so that ought to tell you something right there.Still, though, it's a cute, quick read. Not my particular flavor, but it has its merits.Published on CARPE LIBROS@carpelibros
