When I readUntouched: A Murder Mystery and Erotic Love Storyit made me realize just how much I love murder mysteries. But of course I love a good romance as well and this book had both. I was on the hunt for another book that would have the same great mix and I found "Murder, Mi Amore". This book is a great mix of a murder mystery with all the action that entails and at the same time contains enough romance for any romance lover. It's the best of both worlds."Murder, Mi Amore" tells the story of a woman looking to forget her life and everything that has happened to her. Lexie Cortese gone on vacation to Rome, one of the most beautiful cities in the world to do just that. But of course, as in any romance novel, fate has other plans for her.Enter Dominic Brioni. Dominic is an Interpol agent in Rome. And he's very interested in Lexie. Though not for the reason she would like. Dominic is looking to stop a terrorist plot and he thinks that Lexie might be the culprit. Or rather, his boss does. Once he's gotten the chance to meet Lexie and starts getting to know her, he thinks she's all wrong for the job of terrorist. He's certain that Lexie has to be innocent. But of course, being involved in the investigation, and linked to Dominic, put Lexie in danger.Now not only must Dominic try to decide if Lexie is guilty or innocent of this plot, he must also keep her and himself alive through a flurry of attempted murders, robberies and kidnappings that have Lexie doubting him. Both of them will need to trust each other in order to survive but Lexie doesn't know who to trust and Dominic has trusted the wrong person before and led to disaster.This book shows how two people can be on different sides of something, like Lexie and Dominic being a 'terrorist' and an agent. Neither one knows if they can trust the other and neither is sure if they even want to. But in the end, they have to trust their heart to decide if they are making the right choice. When they realize that they can't be without each other and they realize that they trusting each other is the only way to survive will it be in time? Saving their own lives and stopping the true terrorist will be difficult but these two are determined to manage it. And they're determined to have each other as well. This book is a great rush for the adventure lover in all of us. The harrowing plotline will leave you on the edge of your seat wondering whether they're going to make it and whether they're going to confess what they feel for each other.
