Zosia rated it:

If for no other reason, this book earned its low rating for the endless ‘Barbie doll’ insults the bitchy heroine threw at other women on practically EVERY SINGLE PAGE.

The book featured my most hated romance theme:
• Only plain women who don’t give a damn about their appearance are worthwhile human beings.
• Even though the moral of the story is supposed to be ‘it’s what’s on the inside that counts’, it turns out it’s the heroine’s personality – not her appearance – that nee More...

Listen up ladies! This is a book out of every woman’s fantasies. A man who cooks, cleans, takes care of you (and your dog), AND has lots of money! I know what your saying “Its too good to be true” right? Nope. It’s Romeo Romeo by Robin Kaye. This is a little escape into just about every woman’s dream.

Rosalie Ronaldi is a high-powered career woman. She earns good money, is independent, and thinks she’s pretty decent More...

"Romeo, Romeo" is a fun feel-good romance about two people who aren't looking for love. He's the man of every woman's dream--rich, handsome, sexy, and a caretaker. She's successful, hardworking, and for a change, uninterested in anything more than sex. Reading about Nick's 'fall' was almost as good as chocolate and entertaining to boot! Author Robin Kaye is either a man in disguise or had one on hand for research since she 'pegged' all the ridiculous things men do and say to avoid More...

I absolutely loved this one! It was fresh, fun and made me feel as if I were right there myself and that it was me Nick was cooking for, cleaning up for...and other things. Sure, it got to a point both Nick and Lee needed a kick up their asses but I still devoured every page, every line. And me - I'm not one of those readers who feel they have to finish every book they start if will dump one if the first chapter sucks.

I loved Nick. Right from the start and right to the end. Lee could More...

Romeo, Romeo by Robin Kaye is deliciously decedent. Sizzling hot, funny, romantic and like the best cannoli you've ever had, you lick your fingers sensually grasping each and every last morsel. This book is just like that cannoli, you can't help but lick those fingers and turn those pages wondering not if but when the descriptions of this really hot Italian Stallion are going to make you explode in ecstasy.

Rosalie Ronaldi is tall, full bodied with supple shapes that can drive a man w More...

Cute light romance romp. Started off with a bang and a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, but I personally got a bit tired of the repetative, stereotype Italian cliches -- including all the complaining. About halfway the story lacked the humor and energy, and I finally found myself skimming the last 100 pages just to finish it. I think this book is geared toward a young audience who doesn't like stories with much depth or realism. The steam was only so-so too. A few quick hot scenes with only mod More...

Rosalie Ronaldi is a very career-driven, independent woman. She doesn’t really have time for men, much less her dog, Dave. You could tell this by the way Rosalie’s house looked when you stepped inside. Rosalie believed that if you ate over the sink than you didn’t have to contend with dirtying a dish.

Nick Romeo is not your typical guy but when he meets Rosalie, he is dressed as a mechanic. He decides to let Rosalie go on believing he is a mechanic. Rosalie never thought it would hap More...

What a great book. Romeo, Romeo is a light and funny read with characters you fall in love with from the very start. Nick Romeo is every girls fantasy. A sexy playboy, who is rich, loves to clean and knows how to cook. Rosalie is one independent women and doesn't need a man to tie her down. Both of these two play by their own rules and never plan to marry... that is until they cross paths.

Published By: Sourcebooks Casablanca, an imprint of Sourcebooks Inc., 2008, First Edition, 384 pages, paperback
ISBN 978-1402213397

Romeo, Romeo is a fantastic book that I really enjoyed reading! This novel has an entertaining storyline that has a smooth momentum and a few, fun plot twists; the conclusion of the story has a neat little twist that surprised me in a good way. Nick’s wealth didn’t evoke the usual resentment or dislike an More...

I cannot say enough good things about this book! If you love to laugh, cry, sigh and get a wonderful ending, then this is the book to read. Congratulations to Robin Kaye, a new Super Star of writers! I'm looking forward to her next book.

I read this in one night. Engaging characters, snappy dialogue, hot sex, great food, insane Sicilian families, and a St. Bernard/lab mix named Dave. What's not to love? This is the first book of Robin Kaye's I've read and you better believe I've already downloaded the others onto my Kindle.

Roselie Ronaldi Has her priorities. She's an independent woman and plans to stay that way, despite her mother's determination to see her daughters married with a houseful of babies. Lee likes being single, likes her job as an interim financial guru saving businesses in trouble, like the way her life is in general. She's not about to give all of that up just because her comfortable boyfriend decided to buy a ring and get all domestic. Especially not when the hunky mechanic who towed her broken-do More...

I don't read a lot of chick lit for a few reasons: I can often predict the plot, the characters are just too hard to relate to, there's no real substance. Well, this book was fairly predictable, totally unrealistic, almost 100% fluff but then again, so is cotton candy and I love that stuff. The main reason why I read it is because of my lovely new Kindle. Most of the free ebooks on Amazon are either classics, chick lit or Christian chick lit. So when Emma became too hard to read, I would read th More...

This is the first book of the Ronaldi family, and might be Kaye's first published book (not sure on that). I’ve read this series completely out of order, but I don’t feel like I’ve missed anything by doing so.

Ah! This book was so good I couldn’t put it down. Thank god I had a full Saturday to do nothing but read, read, read! I think the jacket description of this book doesn’t really do it justice. When I read the synopsis of the book, I thought this book, and the others in the s More...

The first ¾ was excellent. The last ¼ was a little disappointing and too conveniently wrapped up.

STORY BRIEF:
Rosalie is a successful business executive. She does not want to get married and believes most men cheat on their wives. She is a messy housekeeper and does not cook. Nick is a wealthy bachelor who has had many girlfriends but none for more than a month. He is used to women wanting him only for his money. When Rosalie first meets Nick, she thinks he’s a car mechani More...

Dominick "Nick" Romeo is just that - a Romeo. He loves 'em and leaves. As soon as the woman hints at marriage or commitment, he's gone.
Rosalie Ronaldi is happy with her career and has no plans for marriage much to the disappointment of her mother. She has dating rules all of which lead to no commitment.
When Nick meets Rosalie and she gives him his rules for dating, he should be happy, but for some reason having the tables turned on him doesn't make him feel so good. More...

Robin Kaye's "Romeo, Romeo" genuinely took me by surprise in how enjoyable it was. The Golden Heart Award winning author offered her first book in the "Domestic Gods" series for free on Amazon Kindle, and I thought I'd download it after reading stellar reviews about the book in various considerations. Suffice to say, I was a bit skeptical coming into the book, because I can say that romance novels don't always click with me unless they have a little something extra.

Joey’s not concerned about some guy coming on to you and stealing you away, which makes him an idiot. ’Cause if you were mine, I’d damn sure know where you were—and you’d know how to reach me twenty-four hours a day. But maybe he’s ready to move on. Then he’s distancing himself, showing that you’re not together, that you’re out of sync and not involved in each other’s lives, in which case, he’s an idiot for letting you go.

Oh goodness, this book was awesome! Not what I expected at all. Going by the title, the cover, and that it’s free on Amazon; I anticipated this book to be super cheesy, short, with no story to it. I can’t be anymore wrong. This is a full length, 400 pages, sizzling hot love story, with great writing, witty dialogue, laugh out loud moments, and a lots of hotness (the h/h first kiss alone will make you fan yourself, and there will be a lot of fanning, pref More...

Another great free find. Kaye has a way with subtle humor and building relationships. Nick and Lee were both great. I love that they are both such independent no strings attached people. It works great until they both fall in love and neither one knows how to break both their ground rules. I love that not only is the man anti marriage who keeps his women at a distance. But Lee is a modern woman with an obvious anti marriage outlook of her own. If a man starts thinking marriage it's time t More...

I had seen a few reviews around for Ms. Kaye's latest book, Breakfast in Bed, and I thought it looked pretty good. Of course, if you know me at all, you know I couldn't just jump in and read that one, I had to start with the beginning of the series! Romeo, Romeo is the first book and Ms. Kaye's debut novel. I loved it!

Robin Kaye knows how to weave a suspense plot with a romantic plot.

I particularly liked how the characters evolved inspite of themselves.

This is a good read. If you need any endorsements, read Tera's review. She is much better book reviewer than I am. I wish she'd review my book, LEGS.

A great read for fans of romance, suspense, and women's fiction.

This was a free-read and is was perfect was I needed at the time....a nice, untaxing chicklit read. Rosalie is a bit of a ball-buster so if you dont like that for your heroine dont read it...she will annoy you! Myself I love seeing this type of heroine for the hero and boy does she do that! Nick is a rich man who thinks he has disguised himself as a mechanic to Rosa (I say thinks because it takes her all of two mins to figure it out...although she never tells him!) He is the ultimate playboy and More...

I got this as a free book from Kindle.

This was a nice light read. Some of the slang in the book was completely foreign to me and actually some of the cursing was literally foreign which while I have no problem with I found jarring in its over use.

A couple of things that bothered me:

*There was no real tension - no real "bad guy" in the whole thing. There were bad guys that I won't spoil, but even they posed no threat and they were only in one scene. More...

My second Robin Kaye book. My first was Yours for the Taking. I loved Gina in that one, but I hate the Rosalie/Gina “friendship". In fact, all the relationships in the book seem to be, “frenemies". From Rosalie’s mother to Nick’s secretary, everyone is so hostile. The only good thing was Gina not only teasing Rosalie about the sexual chemistry, but also warning her that Nick might be a serial killer.

The beginning had me smiling. Even though it had the standard sizing-up sexu More...

I got this book for free and having never heard of the author before I didn't really know what to expect. I had seen a lot of good reviews about this book so decided to give it a chance and give me a break from Sophie Kinsella. I did enjoy it more than I thought that I would but I did have a few issues with the book.

We first meet Rosalie when she's broken down and she doesn't have a spare tire. Cue gorgeous mechanic with a bad boy reputation. In many books that I've read you'll be told More...

Cute, fun, lighthearted read. The heroine is an independent business woman, and the hero is a wealthy CEO (pretending to be a mere mechanic) who cooks and cleans. They're both Italian-Americans with a love of food, and their lives are so normal and domestic when they're not at work that it's actually kind of a relief for me; I get tired of demon-fighting couples after a long while.

There IS a bit of excitement toward the end, though, and the hero gets to be a hero, but all around I real More...
