review 1: A beautiful story between two people, a trusting soul and a guarded one.Raina who is an art major on a full scholarship at NYU just walked in her on slimy boyfriend and her roommate, she flees to her bestfriend's house and was forewarned about her now ex. Raina is very trusting and believes the best in everyone but sometimes those attributes are the very samethings that will get you hurt more times than you care to count.Allan SInclair billionaire business maker who has time for no such frivlous things, he is a business and a big brother to his little sister. Love has no place in his world especially after watching his dad die because his mother was no longer living. For Allan that sealed it for him and he was only about flings. In his mind love shouldn't make you want to ... moregive up on life if your spouse is no longer here.Raina and Allan meet at a charity auction, she was waitressing and he was attending to be one of the prizes for the night. Raina is fascinated by Allan, he appears to be well put together, came with his then girlfriend and his protege to the auction. Raina went to get something out of the room and finds Allan's girlfriend and his protege in a very uncompromising position. Raina tries to protect Allan from finding them but he still does, touched that she wanted to protect him but happy because he was tired of dealing with his girlfriend. The auction still had to take place and he wanted Raina to bid on him with his money of course, the bidding war takes place between Raina and now embarrassed ex-girlfriend with Raina beating her out. But it cost Raina and her bestfriend their waittresses jobs but they didn't have to worry because Allan was going to take care of everything.Allan had business in Venice, his business consisted of taking over fledgling companies and selling it off piece by piece. The big difference was Allan made sure every employee was well compensated for and even made sure they found new employment elsewhere. He asked Raina to go with him, he said it will only be for two weeks. It was supposed to have been his ex-girlfriend and his protege but since he got rid of them both and he thought Raina was really sweet and nice he asked her. She agreed but although not a first, her crazy bestfriend Loraine talked her into going and so she did. And what happened in Venice and as they hopped on the train traveling the country was an eye opener for them both. What started off as a two week trek turned into two months of getting to know each other and both hearts finding love. Allan was a little slower with his because he fought it but Raina was exactly who he needed, sunshine that shone in all of his dark places. But his fear tore him from her and what took place afterwards was a downward spiral that neither one of them could have anticipated, I know it took me totally by surprised and I was an emotional wreck.The way the story played out was wonderful and it had its tragic moments too, it was a hint of Shakespearean in it which really made for an excellent read. There are actually 3 books out under this series, each with a different lead. The next story "His Bahamian Affair" is Loraine (Raina's bestfriend) and Raina's brother Reno. and the third story is "His Paris Affair" with Allan's sister Melody and Raina's step brother Ruiz. These next 2 stories I will happily read them.Well Until My Next Review Ciao Bellas!
review 2: This was a beautiful story. From the beginning you ache for Riana when she catches her boyfriend in er bed with her roommate. But when she meets Allen and he offers her a trip toVenice after learning bad news of his own things start to turn for the better for her. I really enjoyed how their romance was given time to grow and wasn't rushed. Their arguments, insecurities, and thoughts really connect with the reader. The plot progressed nicely and the characters were well developed. The plot twist is absolutely incredible and the ending will leave you breathless and needing tissues! If this book was a Lifetime movie I'd be curled in bed with popcorn glued to the TV!I was given an ARC from the author for a honest review. less
