Venetian Love Knots is a story that caught my interest from the beginning to the very last page. It is well written, and it was about a young woman Allison, who has traveled to Venice to be in her best friend's wedding as her maid of honor. Unfortunately, her ex boyfriend, Cole, also happens to be the Best Man, and she dreads seeing him as their relationship ended badly four years before.When Allison gets to Venice she is picked up by the groom's brother, and Allison feels an instant attraction to Nico, and he feels the same way. They wind up spending the day together, and in the evening he takes her back to her hotel, where she runs into Cole and he manipulates her into going up to his room and they end up being together again for the night.The next day is the wedding and things take an interesting turn. Things happen that in normal circumstances Allison would have never allowed herself to be manipulated into doing,and  to wake up the next morning when she finds herself alone and she is told by the groom about an email sent to Cole: she finds out that what she did the night before for Cole was for nothing, and she is beyond humiliated.I can't say anything else without giving the plot away, but I love how this book turns out and themessage it gives!My favorite quote from this book was stated by Nico, after she has been betrayed by Cole and Nico tells her "Cara that bothered me to hear you being humiliated in public that way." He shook his head indisgust. "He disrespected you. I could not stand to have you treated that way."Then again when everything was talked over between Allison and Nico and he said,"Cara, you should know that you can explore all of your fantasies your heart desires with a man whorespects you. I can still tie you up and spank you and whatever else we can think of, but I will always respect you," he said.I give this book a five star *****rating, and look forward to reading more by this author.
