Rough and Ready

Rough and Ready is the third book in the Italian Stallions series, but could be read as a stand alone. Keeley has the worst dating record, but has always had a crush on her brother’s best friends, Gio and Rafe. After a storm leads to a kiss, an attraction runs wild between the three of them. Could they open up their hearts to love and forever, or will their affair be over before they’re ready?

Oh my goodness, this book was so good! I loved the dynamic between Keeley, Gio, and Rafe! They had some amazing passion, but everything they had was rooted in this strong friendship, which made their connection that much better. Keeley just wanted to find love, wanted to share her life with others, and could barely believe it when kisses from her crushes could turn into something so much more. I really liked her character, with her optimism, her playful side, and the way she didn’t back down from a challenge. Gio and Rafe were two sides of the same coin. Where one was bold, the other was cautious. When one was impulsive, the other had to think every action through. One couldn’t wait to dive into love, while the other didn’t believe he could ever love in the first place. They all fit together perfectly, in and out of the bedroom, and how adventurous they ended up being, but they had to convince their heads that what they were feeling was love and that what they wanted was forever with each other. I thought this was an amazing book! I am loving this series and am so excited for the next book!

I have been patiently waiting for the next couple in this series and it was so worth the wait! Keeley, Gio and Rafe journey was a brothers best friend that heats up when they finally takes the next step to be together. Although Gio and Rafe has had a history together with having relationships with one woman, Keeley is different with all the emotions that she brings to life in them. But can they find their HEA when one of guys feet is already out of the door? One click to find out in this newest release that doesn’t disappoint with a steamy storyline and swoon worthy characters that will have you cheering for the HEA.
