I love Melissa Schroeder and was interested to see her start a new series.  Leonardo is the first novella in a series surrounding the Santini brothers. I loved how this book was centralized around family.  Both the characters had a big family and deep roots and we got to not only see connection that but also meet their siblings.  It added depth to both Maryanne and Leonardo.  Maryanne was a fun character as she was full of spit and vinegar yet was hugely passionate and had a sweet gooey center when it came to Leo.  And Leo... ohhh Leo.  I'm not sure he could be anymore perfect.  He was almost too perfect actually. Sweet, loyal, romantic and sexy as sin military man. *sigh* I think that the couple were a perfect balance for each other. As always Ms. Schroeder's love scenes were perfect and the sarcasm and humor were brilliant. The little nuggets of information the author gave us in regards to one of the other Santini brother's left me wanting to know more. I am anxiously awaiting the next in this series.
