My Thoughts:

This is the second in the Bartolini Legacy and it is little sister Gia's story. Still reeling from the fatal accident that has taken their parents, Gia is also dealt another devastating blow that takes her away from her siblings in search of what she believes will complete her.

In her desire to find some answers, she finds herself trying to rescue a puppy along with CEO Ric Moretti. Ric was a very stick to himself, rely on no one kind of guy. Certainly good looking, but with a very gruff nature. He also has some baggage from his past he has yet to overcome as he is letting it define his present and future.

Well this unprecedented meeting brings these two hurting people together and we watch as complete strangers turn into friends into something more. Unfortunately Gia is much more willing for love and marriage, and Ric is not.

I enjoyed watching these two realize their worth and let go of their past, no matter how hurtful, and to see the gifts they had right in front of them in this classic love story. (This was a clean story with one fade to black scene.)

I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
