Short description
…After the death of her parents, the loss of her home and her fiancé’s betrayal, Bronte wasn’t looking for love…but when a charismatic Italian enters her life, will she be able to resist sweet temptation? Or is the pastry chef about to get burned...Extended description
Though the name of her celebration and wedding cake business is up in lights, Bronte Ludlow doesn't care for the trappings of success. All that matters to her is her company, her independence and her heritage,The Dower House. Home to her ancestors since the seventeenth century, no way will she part with it to ‘a man with too much money and no soul’.Nico Ferranti’s only passions are money and power... He's a man who stopped believing in romance long ago and Bronte's a romantic, yet the attraction sparking between them like fireworks over the Piazza del Popolo stuns Nico.
When Bronte's brother is badly hurt in a car accident in Rome, Nico whisks Bronte to the Eternal City. He wants her and he wants The Dower House and Nico Ferranti always gets what he wants.
But Bronte’s heart has already been broken by one ruthless charmer and although tempted she isn’t about to give up either her heart or her home to the charismatic Italian without a fight!

Nico is so hot I think my Nook left singe-marks on my lap where it rested while I was reading this book. Good thing e-readers come with ubiquitous covers so the other mommy's at the gymnastics lessons couldn't tell the reason I was squirming in my seat and biting my hand was because I was on fire! I loved how three-dimensional the characters were in this story and the way that it grabbed you and dragged you kicking and screaming (or in this case, hot, sweaty, and screaming Oh! My!) through the entire book. If I had to make one complaint, Nico came on a bit strong for me at first (if it had been me, I would have drop-kicked him in the crotch the first three chapters ... but I'm a martial artist). It had a plot, too. And believable, well-rounded secondary characters. And ... cake. Yes, this book even had cake! Can't wait to read the next book in the series.

I've reread this story and can't get enough of Bronte and Nico. I have also bought the other 2 books in the series and can only say that CC is one great author. I hope there will be more. Thank you CC

Loved it. Characters are hot and interesting snd the plot moves briskly. You'll get pulled in and when done, you will want to jump right to the author's other books, Stormy Spring and the upcoming Run Rosie Run.

i lived this book. it had the right amount of romance and spice, and of course the fear of love and sub-sequential hurt. Nico and Bronte are perfect for each other. one was strong where the other was afraid and they rubbed off on each other in a very good way.
I can't wait for Run Rosie Run. With how Alexander and Rosie are such complete opposites.. it's a recipe for true love disaster!
