It's been a while since I last read an opposites attract book with characters so likeable like Brianna and Tom. Brianna is a free spirit, always forgetting things, loopy but with a heart of gold. Tom is her polar opposite, always making lists, punctual, and super appropriate - here's a guy who flies from Australia to Italy wearing a suit on vacation.She needs a husband to get the cottage from the birth mother she'd never met, and he needs her to help him back away from a nagging aunt who wants him to date/marry more than anything. Also, he committed to helping her, and a man like Tom is a man of his word.So. Even as obstacles arise, they go through with it, and their marriage means different things. While for him it's spontaneous and something he'd never do, Brianna goes through a range of emotions, from learning more about her biological family and the place she's finally got, to figuring out the consequences of their pretend marriage.I LOVE when the hero and the heroine learn things from each other and I love when they both change from the beginning to the end - this book offers superb character development. Fantastic.Italian Affair is like that cherished European trip that stays with you long after you return home.
