A sweet, easy read, with a highly improbable plot.
Eveline owns and runs a flower shop in Leeds. After discovering that the man she loved was only marrying her for her inheritance and a clause in her grandmother's will saying that she had to at least be engaged by Christmas Day, she's unhappily wondering how to keep her business afloat. She's sworn off love and dating, especially after her attempts at 'getting back out there' have all ended in disaster!
But when her good friend Rosalie finally persuades her to go on a date with her brother, she relents ...
What follows is a rather unlikely series of events, including instant adoration, loads of confusion as Eveline wonders why the man she's dating plays 'hot and cold', and quite honestly, a whole lot of miscommunication.
I mean honestly, if Evie and Rosalie had been friends for so long, how did Evie not know that her friend had twin brothers? And in the process of her dates with both Nate and Luca (who she thought were one and the same), how did that fact not get discussed - surely they were only just starting to get to know each other and these are the sort of things that get spoken about: families etc. Speaking of which ... how did she have no clue what Nate's job was???
I loved the Romano family connection and the description of their typical big, loud get-together at their home in Capri. Again though ... she'd known him for such a short time and at the drop of a hat just agreed to fly off to Italy with him, even though she clearly had huge doubts!?
It's a sweet story but there were a lot of big plot holes that just didn't work for me.
Thank you to TBC Reviewers group for the opportunity to read and review this one.
