Entertaining Story
When Gideon Kembal, Marquis of Holwell, and Serafina de Luca met a year ago, they fell in love, but neither of them confessed their feelings. Now Gideon is in Rome to retrieve his mother and sister to avoid scandal. He and Serafina might get a second chance. Lots of things are happening in this interesting and entertaining story. There is a secret romance that has simmered for a year, a mother and daughter to be dealt with, a father greedy for more power, and a lost friend found. The descriptions of Roman sights are lovely. The characters are wonderful, especially Gideon and Serafina. The chemistry between them sizzles. One question must still be answered: will he be able to convince his mother to come home? Perhaps he and his father will have a happy ending. This is a great read, and I look forward to Augusta and Flynn’s story.
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily reviewing it.
