More like 3.5 stars really. The main characters met ten years ago as art students in Milan. Coretta returned to New York and met Jonathan, who she had a 10 year relationship with. It grew old and stale and after a fight with him she looks Lorenzo up and, on a whim, contacts him. She ends up leaving for Milan in few days to join with him in opening a joint art gallery. They connect romantically right away but someone seems to be stalking both of them.I liked the story and the character development. The writing was a bit stiff in place and the dialogue could have been smoother, but overall it was pretty good. Other than that, I had a few problems with logical points in the story. Lorenzo picks Coretta up at the airport on his Vespa Scooter. Somehow, her luggage magically makes it along for the ride. She stays alone at his place for a week, and doesn't realize the fridge is fully stocked. A week later, everything is still fresh and lovely. MINOR SPOILER: killing an unknown artist isn't likely to make her work suddenly worth millions. That just isn't logical.With a bit of work on dialogue and general smoothness, this author has potential to be pretty good. Just watch out for those plot points that can catch you up.
