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 looking, even if her behind is just a little big. On her way home from work one evening, she gets a flat tire. When she’s done cursing in Italian and Spanish (she thought she should be thorough) she notices a really hot man in a tow truck has pulled up to rescue her. Little does she know, he might just rescue her from her life too!

Nick Romeo is a self made millionaire who also happens to be Brooklyn’s most sought after bachelor. When he leaves the car dealership he owns in the tow truck so he doesn’t get his Viper dirty, he sees a gorgeous woman on the side of the road kicking a flat tire! He offers to help, and manages to coax a date from Rosalie without her ever realizing who he is.

When Nick and Rosalie begin dating, it all starts very casually, no strings attached. But when Rosalie gets pneumonia and Nick rushes her to the hospital, he realizes how much he actually cares for her. He takes care of everything for her including cooking, cleaning, organizing, and walking her dog. Now, Nick is in over his head. He is getting serious with her and she still doesn’t know who he is. Oh, and he forgot to tell her about his history with her younger brother… Will they ever be honest with each other so they can be together, or will their stubbornness keep them apart?

When I starting reading this book, I had no idea how much I would enjoy it! Robin Kaye is a wonderful author who has a fabulous writing style that sucks you in right from the beginning. Romeo Romeo is a delightfully fun and romantic read that would have you wishing for a little Romeo in your life.

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!

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 wild. Dark curly hair and olive skin give her that Mediterranean look that most Italian women have. Unlike the tall, skinny, mindless playboy pin-ups that most men would love to use and throw away, Rosalie has what a man can hold onto and enjoy for the rest of his life. Intelligence and independence are a large part of her and her need for control with no strings attached makes her all that much more enticing.

Nick Romeo is the hottest thing to come along since apple pie. Tall, dark and handsome seems to be an understatement where he is concerned and the ladies flock to him like honey bees to a hive. Not only does he have the Italian good looks but he's got more money than he could ever expect to spend in one lifetime.

Nick and Rosalie meet under unusual circumstances and sparks start to fly from the very first moment. Unfortunately for Romeo, Rosalie is not free for the taking. Not yet anyway!

What starts out as an innocent meeting quickly turns into a heart pounding, lip smacking, make me howl sizzling romance.

Talk about love at first sight. They say it happens but what are the odds and why is it that everyone around you can see what's happening but you? Also they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder and you really don't know what you've had until you've lost it. How much of this is true especially in a story that will curl your toes and melt your soul. Guess we'll just have to ask Nick and Rosalie.

This author has given us a touch of old world romance, mind blowing, heart pounding, howl like a coyote sizzling sex, along with family honor and ideals that take you back to the old country life style. This is a story that you can sink your teeth into and feel like you're really a part of the story. It's a story of a chance meeting that could really happen to any one of us. It's a story of possibilities and probabilities that will rock your world like a 9.0 magnitude earthquake leaving you shaken, stunned, off balance, scared, and flat on your ass. A story of two souls meeting and melting into one. (less)

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 modera...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 happen that she...more

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 series, were basically the same book, but with different characters. While that might be sort of true, once I read the book I didn’t feel that way at all. Kaye has this great way of creating characters that are so multidimentional that you really get caught up in their stories quickly.

In this story we meet Rosalie Ronaldi, the eldest sister of the Ronaldi clan. She’s a feisty businesswoman who doesn’t have time, or the inclination, to ever get married. So she dates for convenience–the convenience of not having her parents try to fix her up with some schmo from the neighborhood. But her mother has a marriage stop watch, or something similar, because once she hits the two-year-mark, her mother starts going a little wedding-crazy. So it’s in that vein that she meets up with Nick Romeo. Nick is the male version of Rosalie, but he doesn’t really see that until he starts falling in love with her. Then of course the issue becomes who spills the beans first.

Of the stories I’ve read by Kaye, I think this one was my favorite. She’s witty, her characters have so many angles that they really come to life, but the plot I found to be refreshing. My husband cooks, so it’s nice to read about men doing well in the kitchen. I also think it’s reasonable to assume that if you care about someone, you’ll take care of them when they are sick, which was what happened in the book.

This story was light-hearted and fun. If you are looking for a romance novel, but you want to stay away from the damsel-in-distress, I-need-a-man-to-complete-me mentality, I’d suggest checking Kaye out. Like I mentioned earlier, her heroines are independent, smart and funny and would be just fine without the heros. As in real life, I think the best relationships are those that don’t require you to be with someone because without them you cannot function, but you want to be with them because they make your life better.

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 mechanic. Nick enjoys that she thinks of him that way. They have a date, and he doesn’t correct her view of him. Later Rosalie learns his real name, but she doesn’t care because she’s not planning on a long term relationship anyway. He doesn’t tell her who he really is, and she doesn’t tell him that she knows. It’s like they don’t care, or they don’t need to know, or they just never get around to it. They do agree from the start that neither one wants to get married, and that they will be together until one of them doesn’t enjoy it anymore. Along the way, Rosalie’s mother is nagging her about getting married and having babies. The mother doesn’t like Nick and wants Rosalie to marry someone else.

REVIEWER’S OPINION:
I enjoyed much during the first ¾ of the book. I laughed a few times and chuckled many times. I enjoyed Rosalie’s wit and conversations. It was fun seeing her messy housekeeping and Nick’s neatness. He would wash and put away her clothes, and then she could never find things because they were put into drawers and closets instead of being strewn around the floor. He vacuumed, cleaned, shopped, and cooked for her. It was fun to see. Then Rosalie did something that I had a hard time going along with, which caused their separation. Most romance novels include a fight or separation. I think that’s the hardest part for the author to come up with. In this case, I was disappointed in how the author chose to separate them. I did not enjoy the last fourth of this book partly because I didn’t buy the separation. Also, there was no more communication between the couple and no more witty conversation. The ending felt bland, like the author just needed to wrap things up.

DATA:
Story length: 383 pages. Swearing language: strong. Sexual language: moderate. Number of sex scenes: 3. Total number of sex scene pages: 14. Setting: current day New York City area. Copyright: 2008. Genre: contemporary romance.

OTHER BOOKS:
To date, I’ve read one other book by Robin Kaye. My 3 star review of “Too Hot to Handle” was posted 6/01/09.

CAUTION SPOILER:
The author used the following to separate the couple which disappointed me. Rosalie stayed out until 3 am one night and didn’t return Nick’s phone calls. He was frantic with worry that something bad had happened to her. When she arrived home, he saw that she was ok, and then he walked out, which had the effect of breaking up with her with no discussion. She was wrong to let him think something bad might have happened to her. He was inconsiderate by not having a talk with her at that moment or the next day. That was it. They were now broken up. I wanted something a little more substantive than this. A better scenario might be for him to admit his lies and have her break up with him over that, but that would be too predictable. I wish the author would have come up with something better than anything I could think of.(less)

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.

"Romeo, Romeo" does have elements in it that are stereotypical, and if you're looking for something more realistic and heavy, the book may disappoint because it's more of a light read than anything else. But what drew me into the work were the character dynamics, the voice and humor of the two main leads of the book. Dominic Romeo is a wealthy playboy who doesn't get tied down, and he's used to relationships where women pursue him for his money. Rosalie is a working woman who often has to manage her working life with her family's attempts to set up her relationships. The two meet by chance when Rosalie's car breaks down, and Dominic (a.k.a. Nick) has to take care of her car and ends up doing a little more than that in the process.

For me, Nick and Rosalie were the highlights of the book and carried the story for me the whole way. I did have to suspend disbelief on certain elements (the car shouldn't have been kept away as long as it was, heh), but in the end, it's a sweet story with well-placed humor. It helps that Kaye's prose is light, amusing, and the characters have their own bite to supplement their personalities. The secondary cast is typical, but okay - I thought most of the relationships worked for what they provided.

Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend "Romeo, Romeo" for a romance fan who's looking for a light read. It was enjoyable and very much worth the time spent to read through, and I hope to read more from the author, not simply on the strengths of this work, but to see how she expands upon them in her other works.

Overall score: 3.5/5(less)

Tapi karena saya belum pernah baca buku-bukunya Robin Kaye, saya memutuskan untuk baca versi Bahasa Inggrisnya. Soalnya takut kalau terjemahannya nggak pas, bisa merusak 'feel'-nya, hehehe... Kecuali kalau saya udah suka sama si penulis, kayak misalnya Meg Cabot, mau Inggris atau Indonesia sih nggak masalah (biasanya end up d...more

Gue pengen ngasih 3, tapi apa daya poin ganggu tentang novel ini menghalangi hamba untuk menambahkan satu bintang. :(

Robin Kaye seperti mengkhianati frame karakter yang dia buat sendiri. Tokoh utama cowok yang digambarkan player dan rada alpha itu malah ends up jadi superdomestik dan submissive di pertengahan hingga akhir cerita. Seandainya ada alasan kuat, fine. Tapi ini... tidak sama sekali.

Padahal, seandainya si cowok nggak diglorified tentang dirinya yang oh-so-player di bab-bab awal, gue bi...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.

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!

Rosalie Ronaldi is a young executive who works for a turnaround company. She's got a boyfriend whom she's not serious about - it's more that she dates him to keep her mother off her back about why she doesn't have any marriage prospects. Then he proposes to her - and it's one of the most insulting (and comical) proposals I've ever read. Needless to say she drops him like a hot potato.

Nick Romeo is super sexy....and super rich. But when Rosalie meets him she thinks he's a mechanic, not the owner of several car dealerships. She ends up agreeing to date him after he tows her car, and the chase is on. Nick isn't looking for love, just a good time.

Rosalie tells him up front she wants no commitment and will never, ever get married. Nick is sort of taken aback because he's usually giving this line, not receiving it! They start dating and things are going well, they're both busy professionals and therefore only see each other occasionally, which keeps things from getting predictable and boring. Then, when Rosalie doesn't show for a date, Nick goes to check on her and ends up taking her to the ER - she's got pneumonia. Then he brings her home and takes care of her....and while he's there he gradually makes himself at home. (I liked how it was gradual so neither of them didn't really recognize what was going on!)

The thing is, he never told Rosalie who he really is, or that he's been trying to buy the auto dealership she's currently working on turning around. AND, he's got another secret from his past so he's afraid to meet her family. When her brother calls to tell her he's coming to visit, Nick knows it's now or never...but fate and circumstances have other plans.

This book was great! Ms. Kaye writes believeable characters who I'd love to hang out with in real life. I liked Rosalie and Nick and wanted them to be together. I probably need a dental check up for all the times I ground my teeth together in frustration with Nick for not coming clean with the truth. The secondary characters were well-written and showcased the fears of the h/h in an entertaining way.

Here's my one complaint: The characters were of Italian descent, and there were a couple of words and phrases in Italian that I didn't know what they meant. I blogged about this earlier - couldn't they put an index at the back of the book? I mean, I got the general idea, but I wanted to know. And I was reading this book in the waiting rooom at the hospital so I couldn't run off and look it up.

Aside from that one criticism, I thought this book was great. I can't wait to run out and get the 2nd book in this series, Too Hot to Handle, in which Rosalie's sister Annabelle is the heroine.

I give Romeo, Romeo 4 1/2 stars!

Rosalie Ronaldi tidak bercita-cita untuk berumah tangga..

Hal yang dipedulikannya hanyalah karir, sehingga dia mampu bertahan hidup hanya dengan makanan siap saji dan minum martini, membiarkan sepatunya berada di bawah meja makan, dan pakaiannya berserakan di atas sofa. Nick Romeo adalah fantasi setiap wanita-tinggi, berkulit gelap, tampan, kaya, DAN dia suka memasak serta bersih-bersih rumah... Nick menginginkan seorang wanita yang mandiri, tapi ketika bertemu Rosalie, hal yang diingink...more

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.

Shelves: chicklit, dreamy-men

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
