From the back of the book:Romance: Sipping wine in the dramatic Piazza San Marco in Venice was just the change of scenery Laura Green needed. What she hadn't expected was for a handsome Italian, Domenico Chiesa, to seduce her!
Passion: It turned out to be a week's vacation spent being wined and dined in the most exclusive restaurants; a week of sizzling sexual tension which neither Laura nor Domenico wanted to end....
Betrayal: But, despite their passions, Domenico had kept something extremely important from Laura. A secret that, once she was home in England, would have startling repercussions....
Basic jest of the book is that h meets H in Venice, Italy. She is there in a holiday cause her "friend" let her down. after a week they fall in love with each other. When h gets back from Italy, she finds out that the H had lied to her about who he was and what his name was and about paying part of her hotel bill. (he had a reason) so she confronts him about the issues and they have a fight, they make up. He comes to England, he over hears her "friend" make a comment about her sister but made it sound that the incident had to do with the h. Fight again, she kicks him out and they speak for awhile. then they make up..... pretty much the story line...... when all comes out into the open all is HEA and they are flying back to Venice for their Honeymoon and sun sets and birds sing and the hearts are floating everywhere.
My spin on the book:
First off I must point out that the book was extremely detailed... down to the type of ham they ate and the water they drank.. really??? then there was the way they were talking to each other through out the entire book. "`Buon giorno, Laura. Did you sleep well?' `Good morning. I slept very well. Did you?' ........ everything was so monotoned. I know real people do not talk like that. something that stood out on this book was the angst was not so much a problem really, so he did not tell her who was a first. Then there was the forever much misunderstanding through out the book. good grief, I just wanted to say to the h get over yourself, NO ONE is that independent that they can not even except a gift. The H in the story was a genuinely nice guy. The h was nice as well just a bit over the top with the independent thing... come on who does not want a good looking rich guy doting on you????
Once you get over the verbiage you might get to reading the book.... it took me awhile b/c I kept on stopping. it did not hold my attention. I mean the way they spoke to each other it was the lack of the "passion" that this book was suppose to be about that had me yawning...... I mean my 7 year old talks more vividly about her pet rock than the h spoke of her love for the H. If you have to read the book b/c you want to read every book with by C. George then have some fun, but if not have a miss with this one.. definitely not a keeper for me.
