Robin Bartlett has always been an independent woman who doesn't want help from anyone in life . . . especially men. To her, men have always been takers and manipulators. Life hasn't been easy for Robin, so consequently, she's built a wall around herself to keep others out. However, she's constantly unhappy, no matter how hard she tries to find peace. Tony Viscolli first enters the restaurant where she works before trying to enter her life. She refuses to let him penetrate the barrier she's constructed around her heart. Things in her life start to turn upside down, leaving her to wonder if keeping the wall up is really worth it. Is it?
Ah, that's where you're going to have to pick up this book and find out for yourself. It's definitely worth adding to your book collection. There's enough twists and turns to keep it from being predictable. Be sure to pay attention to side characters that seem unimportant, because as I said, this is the first book in the Jewel Anthology. There are more books to come. Also, make sure you have an Italian translation dictionary handy, in case Tony doesn't bother to translate something he said in his native Italian.
Thank you for this review, Leah!
ReplyDeleteActually, in the end of the book, I included a Translation Key. :) I've done it in every book, almost. In A Melody for James, my lead guy speaks computer geek quite often, and I included a guide for his as well - lol.
