My rating: 3.5 of 5 starsThis story takes us on the journey of a survivor: Alexis Evangeline Robertson had a very dark and troubled past. Quite gruesome at times. This first book in the series is all about Alexis and how she's going on this culinary course in Italy with her best friend. It's funny because she ends up not only treating one of her patients, but also having the opportunity of running into him in Italy. He's the delectable Lucca Caruso. He's got his own issues that he needs to take care of.This first book gives us a bit of background information to give the reader a sort of understanding about the main character's attitudes and personalities. The end leaves us with a super ominous third party look at what's to come with the next book(s).Overall, it was a good first attempt at a novel let alone a Series. I did have a few qualms about this book. At times, I found Alexis's reactions to events around her to be a bit too dramatic. Not only that but I also found the book to drag a bit. I was able to get through it but it took a lot for me to really finish it. There's a good chance that had it not been an ARC book that I would have made this a DNF book. So with those comments I'm giving this 3.5 STARS out of 5 STARS. This book is going to be very suspenseful with the next books to come.e~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Read by Taryn Lee on December 28, 2013Reviewed by Taryn Lee on January 8, 2013
