Carina Conte has had a crush on her brother Michael’s best friend, Max Gray, since she was a teenager back home in Italy. Now she’s earned her MBA and come to work at Michael’s new venture, America’s fastest-growing bakery empire. But some things never change: her overprotective family still treats her like a child. With three drop-dead gorgeous siblings, she’s still the ugly duckling of the bunch. And Max, the company’s new CEO, still barely notices her.
Max knows Carina Conte is strictly off-limits, for the sake of his job and his friendship with Michael. But hot-blooded lust wins out at a conference when the two share a scorching one-night stand—and are busted by her mother! Now, forced by old-world Italian tradition into a marriage he’s not ready for, Max is miserable—and Carina is furious. Her new husband is about to realize that hell hath no fury like a woman transformed. . . .
***********
The author does a great job speaking from both points of view. The part that stands out most to me is the situation that made Carina walk away from Max and claim her own life then hearing Max's point of view really made everything come together- it was a heart breaking moment for Carina but turns out it was heart breaking for Max as well. Max needs to realize some things and Carina needs to find herself before their forced marriage has a chance.
You have to read to find out if it works out or if they call it quits.
Nice closure.
