I truly enjoyed and loved this book! The chemistry between Jack and Stevie was smokin' hot, and it was also nice to see Roxy and Emerson get their happy ending as well-- they're the couple that's getting married at Tanti Baci by the way! The funny thing is that these four are all related and connected to each other in every way. The heroine in this book, Stephania Banci used to date Emerson... but he broke up with her. Roxanne Parini happens to be our hero's younger sister and she's getting married to Stevie's ex. What a mess right?! First chapter in, Jack pretty much flirts with Stevie and straight out tells her that he'll be watching her and tells her that she better not try anything funny.

I've been in the mood for contemporary romances lately and I have to say, it's that time of year again! Last year, I read Allie's story in Crush On You and while it was interesting, I didn't like the heroine or the hero that much. But this book? It's definitely a winner! Jack and Stevie are two very different people because you know what? Jack happens to be a prince! The main problem that these two have is that and the fact that Stevie doesn't want to lose her heart again. It's pretty understandable and typical, but I liked how Christie Ridgway went with it. It started out as a relationship with no strings attached... and then they start growing feelings for one another. Another interesting aspect about this book is that as readers, we also get a follow-up of the other couples involved as well as the next couple in the last book. Hmm, Liam and Jules anyone? Ooh, I'm truly looking forward to that one! I always knew there was something between those two, even when I read the first book. The author sort of hinted that they had a relationship back in the day... and it left both of them bitter towards one another ever since. Either way, the steam factor was actually pretty high for this one! Shocking right? Not to mention that Jack and Stevie were coming at each other 80% of the book. Hah!

To sum it up, if you're looking for a pretty steamy contemporary romance for the summer, you should check out this series. Then He Kissed Me had me sold from the first chapter! 5/5 stars for this lovely book~
