This was an ARC provided by Normandie Alleman.This was soft romance with light erotica . I love how detailed it was and how it kept your interest from page one. The main characters in this novel are Allison Fox, Cole, and Nico. Marcia and Alfonso are also mentioned but aren't key to the story, just the setting.Allison Fox is from Fort Worth headed to Venice, Italy to be the maid of honor in her best friend, Marcia and her soon to be husband Alfonso's wedding. Before heading off to the wedding, she learns her former lover Cole will be the best man. Having to face him after all this time proves to be hard. When she arrives at the airport she is picked up by Alfonso's cousin Nico.Nico became a workaholic for a shipping company after losing his wife to leukemia. He doesn't think he'll ever be able to find love again so he immerses himself into his work. When he sees Allison approaching him, he is immediately drawn to her. Having a week off from work he offers to take Allison on a tour of  Venice.After their first night spent touring, Nico escorts Allison back to her hotel. She stumbles in a man, coming to realize it's Cole. Cole is very much the playboy. He isn't ready to settle down and commit to one woman. After a night of passion, Allison awakes alone and sad. She discovers a note that is sure to lead to heartache.Once again, another excellent read from Normandie Alleman. This story was written for the romantic at heart. I found myself rooting for Allison as well as feeling her highs and lows. I could relate to all her feelings in this story. I definitely recommend it!
