3-I-Want-A-Hot-Italian-Doctor-Stars!

I liked and devoured it. It hit all the right spots for me. And Ms. Spencer continues to amaze me with how she can get into her characters' heads and describe all they are feeling and thinking. Plus, the storyline had just the right amount of drama to keep things flowing.

Danielle was such a great heroine. I loved her vulnerability and strength. She never breaks down and never shows anyone her vulnerability. That is until she met Carlo. I loved Carlo. I mean, he is everything a hero should be and could ever want to be. He's a dependable, caring, thoughtful, sweet, attentive, slightly domineering, intelligent, and very loving father. They were absolutely wonderful together, and I couldn't get enough of them. I loved how they slowly opened up and learned more about each other.

Overall, The Italian Doctor's Mistress is heartwarming, tender, and beautiful. I loved Carlo and Danielle and enjoyed how real their characters felt. I've just wished that there had been an epilogue. I thought it was nice to see Anita and Danielle interact again. But I loved the ending, though.

One hot and sexy Italian doctor and enough simmering passion to set the pages on fire. A thoughtful emotion-filled storyline; a wonderful read.

Μπορεί να φταιει το γραψιμο ή η μεταφραση, αλλα το βαρεθηκα.
Μου εβγαζε καθωσπρεπρισμό και ηθικολογια, πραγματα που ψυχραινουν την ιστορια και με ξενερωνουν.
