Ben is heading to Italy as a favor to his mother to retrieve a bible. This should be a simple trip for Ben just go to Italy get the bible and go home, but once in Italy plans change. Not only is Ben stuck in Italy he can't stop seeing the face of the girl who left him nine months earlier, Evalina. That is until he really does run into the face that haunts him, Evalina. On a mission of her own can Eva and Ben trust each other enough to work together? Better yet can they trust their hearts not to fall in love? You must read this story to find out.Every so often in a readers life a book will come along that to the reader is not JUST a book, but instead it is a part of them. The story isn't a story at all but an adventure the reader went on, and this adventure will be a memory that comes to the readers mind over and over again as if the reader lived it. For me that rare book was Lost in Italy. I read Lost in Italy and to this day I think about that book and how amazing it was, and the adventure I went on while reading that book. So as you can imagine while I was excited for the follow up book Run to Rome I was a bit nervous. Thankfully I now have another adventure to add to my memory bank, another awesome tale created by Stacey Joy Netzel that has become a part of me.Run to Rome is an incredible adventure. The plot for Run to Rome has so much debt and so much mystery that kept unfolding I couldn't stop myself from becoming completely lost in this story, see what I did there? I was lost in Italy. Anyhoo, Every time I thought I had the plot figured out a new element would reveal itself and leave me in suspense. Not a dull moment in this book. Now I am a romance gal, I usually have to have romance in my stories. To be completely honest with you if Run to Rome didn't have any romance I still would of love it because it was such a well written story. While this book is a romance it is not about Eva and Ben falling in love it is about the mission they go on together, anything that happens on that mission is a bonus to the story.The chemistry between Evalina and Ben is pure perfection. I love when I fall in love side by side with my characters. It is almost as if I am experiencing the romance and I love it. I think the power behind the chemistry with Ben and Eva is the characters themselves, they are incredibly well written. I would just like to take a moment and shout to the world I AM IN LOVE WITH BEN SANDERS, he is my latest book boyfriend. Ben is everything I want in a man; just don't tell my husband I said so. Ben is cocky and sexy but yet sweet and charming, but not too sweet that he is overly perfect. Oh and Evalina she is a strong heroine not the type to sit around waiting be saved.  Eva is a cop and to be honest with you I love a girl with a gun.The downside to this book? It's over and I have to wait until the next Italy Intrigue Book to go on another adventure in Italy. So if you are wondering if I recommend this book to readers my review speaks for itself. I highly recommended this book to adult readers and lovers of romantic suspense.
