Cinderella's Secret Fling

CINDERELLA’S SECRET FLING by Michelle Douglas is the second in her One Summer in Italy duet. It’s a glorious summer romance, and Ms Douglas’s writing will sweep readers away as surely as the ebullient Audrey Martinelli and brooding artist, Gabriel Dimarco, find themselves in a whirlwind of passion and *gasp* feelings. Inconvenient ones that they’ve of course stated they wouldn’t be subject to… Audrey is in Italy at the behest of her late Nonna, who’s making sure she is able to become acquain

Audrey travels to a beautiful lakeside setting in Italy to meet her long-lost family. There, she meets Gabriel, a brooding artist and single dad. He agrees to mentor her, but he doesn't trust her family. Will their secret fling turn into a lifetime of love? I enjoyed the way Gabriel helped Audrey grow as an artist, and how she helped him come to terms with his wife's death. There were also some cute scenes with his daughter. It's a romantic story. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC.
