Publisher Description
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Marie Force comes a steamy new contemporary romance in her Miami Nights Series that brings two people together who have nothing in common except their feelings for each other…
Nico
My reputation with women stinks. I’ll admit I haven’t always treated them with the respect they deserve. That’s not to say I’m a bad guy or anything. What my sisters and cousin would call toxic, I prefer to think of as selfish. But I’m ready to change everything if it means I’ll have a chance with the lovely, sweet, wounded Sofia Diaz—and her adorable son Mateo. They’ve been through a lot with her ex—and she’s still dealing with him far more often than I’d like—but I’m prepared to be there for both of them, to do whatever it takes to make them happy. If only she’ll stop listening to my family members who would warn her off me and give me a chance to show her how it can be between us.
Sofia
Nico Giordino is the sexiest man on the planet, but from what his sisters and cousin tell me, I need to keep my distance. I’ve already had one serious relationship end in the most painful way possible. I don’t need to open myself to more heartache by letting a player into my life—and my son’s. Mateo is all that matters to me, and as he recovers from brain surgery to remove a cancerous tumor, I’ve got my hands full working at Nico’s family’s restaurant and taking care of my son while trying to finalize my divorce. I’ve got no time for romance or foolishness with a man who makes my heart beat fast. I want him more than I’ve ever wanted anything, even if I know I probably shouldn't…
Come back to Miami for another sexy installment in the Miami Nights Series and catch up with the beloved Giordino family!
Customer Reviews
Absolutely must read!
A must read. Marie Force has really out done her self. For those women who have been in that type of relationship that there is a light at the end of the tunnel plus there are few great men out.
What a phenomenal ride!!
How Much I Want is the fourth book in the Miami Nights series by Marie Force, which encompasses the much anticipated story of Nico and Sofia. Nico Giordino was always the stereotypical “player,” who never made promises to women, as he went through them, never feeling a deeper connection. That is, until he first laid eyes on Sofia. Sofia is a single mom to a little boy recovering from a life threatening illness, who is also trying to extricate herself and her son from an abusive marriage. While the entire Giordino clan jumps in to help them, she finds herself drawn to Nico, despite the warnings of others. She makes him want to change his whole life for her. He makes her want to take a chance on love again but the demons from her past are still threatening to drag her down. Can they overcome all the obstacles stacked up against them?
As with the other books in this series, this one demonstrates the phenomenal world building and character development skills Marie Force has. Everything is so authentic, from the dialogue and witty banter to the roller coaster of emotions. These characters feel like they could be people you know, so when a twist would happen, I reacted instantly, sometimes needing tissues for tears (sad or happy). What I love is how you get a variety of feelings. It’s not all angst. Yes, there’s some heavy, given Sofia’s backstory, but with all the other characters still coming in and out, there are still times to laugh, and plenty of romance and hot chemistry. And, if you like straight up cuteness, Mateo and Everly are around for that! This book had a couple huge unexpected twists that really added to the story. Overall it was an amazing must read! It also set Milo up to have a potentially epic story of his own, and I can’t wait for it!!
