If you read book one in the series, you met Gia Bartolini, one of the Bartolini siblings. Now orphaned after their parents perished in an accident they are trying to adjust to their new reality. While reading their mother’s diary, a secret was revealed. Leaving Gia heartbroken and looking for answers, she travels to the island of Lapri. Ric Moretti is a loner with emotional baggage of his own. When he gets a call letting him know a woman was trespassing his uncle’s estate, he expects to find a gold digger or a thief. Instead he finds Gia under some plantings trying to rescue a puppy. Little did either know that their lives would be forever changed. Gia brings “light” and laughter to Ric and he in turn brings her hope and assistance in finding her heritage. While it’s a sweet and touching romance, it’s also a reminder that the experiences of our childhood, do in fact mold us as adults. Another engaging story in this series. I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
