Jenny Salvini liked being independent and was determined to stay that way. Once her boyfriend Andre reluctantly reconciled to that fact he won her over and she accepted his proposal. After Andre is murdered, Christian enters Jenny’s life, as the detective assigned to the investigation.

I like the way this story delved deeper into the characters than just as a poignant love story. The twists kept me interested and aware that more was going on than meets the eye. I liked Jenny’s independence and how she stuck to her guns to keep it. This was well worth the read.… (meer)

I received this book from the author for an honest review. He is a good writer. Characters are developed, we know some of their back stories and their temperament. That being said, I have a hard time with a very independent woman who falls in love with a super jealous man and surrenders to what the man wants. There is something wrong with a man who is jealous of the plumber or the gynecologist. He has issues and mix in that he's a cop, if he were to get violent, who would you turn to. That being said, it was well written, but isn't a favorite of mine.… (meer)

"Hearts Under Fire" by Antonio Scotto di Cario

My Thoughts...

What a wonderful emotional read [setting in Italy] with 'My Way'[the song] being so well featured in this well written story. This was definitely one of those stories where you may think you know what is going on then then there will be some twist, turns and deceptions that you certainly will not expect. I will say for this heroine [Jenny] that was a lots on her plate....running a shop trusting people...enjoying a relationship with Andre but unexpectedly after hearing 'My Way' being played by a violinist...will she have feelings from someone else? Then this story will take a turn...what is up with the man with the green gray eyes[Chris]? OK, this story moves on and there will be a murder, a hot steamy romance. a suspenseful journey and by the end definitely a reality...all that will keep you turning the pages to see what is going on next. That ending was well...I don't want to tell you any of it ...only saying you will have to pick this one up to see for yourself how well this author writes this intriguing story for the readers. Now, I will say my favorite part was the unexpected ending... 'The Confession.' All I will say is that this will clear up a lots of questions I had from this read. Very well done to the author!… (meer)
