Rate this book
Karisma Montgomery is known the world over for her beauty and talent, and certainly no stranger to men longing to have her. Paolo Montovani is an assured businessman with a secretive life, who is inexplicably drawn to Karisma. Enough so, that he's willing to go against tradition and family expectations to be a part of her life.

With instant chemistry and passion, Karisma and Paolo learn quickly that when two people connect, who were meant to be together, you can handle more than you'd ever imagined-especially when very emotion is made stronger through an inexplicable desire and intense sexual attraction. They are tested plenty with jealous ex's, and influences from the world around them. Yet they both keep a few secrets, fearful of how those secrets might conflict with their commitment to each other.

In the end, can intense sexual energy and a connection of the souls overcome their secrets? Will Karisma and Paolo be able to handle everything that has become a part of their lives?

Wow! Great read!

This was a really great read ! I love the spark between Paolo & Kari. It's cute. It's amazing how everything falls into place. As soon as I thought of a question. The author would answer within the next few chapters. Which is awesome! I'm glad it wasn't predictable. Kari doesn't know what she's getting into with Paolo. We'll see if she's really ready to be with Paolo in the next book. I don't want to spoil it for other readers so I'll keep my mouth shut. My question is: Is Kari really ready for the alpha male that Paolo is? Guess we'll find out in the next book. I'm excited. I'm kinda pissed I read it so early without the second book already in the Amazon bookstore. The sex scenes. Hot! The chemistry! Hot! The characters very developed. I only gave it 4 stars because there were a few grammatical errors, other than that. It's 5 star worthy. This is a book, I can read over & over again. Great job author!

Okay this has to be on your summer reading list or to read list.This is one sexy,funny,laugh out loud mystery romance story that you are not going to miss.This is a story about two sexy successful people who are attracted to one another and fall in love only to discover they are soul mates.The writer manages to pull you into a story that's so well rounded that it doesn't solely concentrated on theh/h but also the people around them and how there dissensions effect them as well.You are getting a story that will touch you on some levels and you are going to like the main characters.This is just an all around good story,that ends on a cliffhanger.Good summer read that goes on the shelf.

Hooked!!!

I'm a r big fan of interracial mafia series. And I must say this is a great start to a new favorite series. I love a alpha male. If I had to pick a down side it would be the reference to spook much of the physical "beauty" It's almost as if they wouldn't have even given the other a look if they weren't as gorgeous as the sun...

Talk about a "GoodRead." From start to finish. I. enjoyed every page of this novel.and to say it was the novelist very first publishing? She sets the "Gold-Tone" right away, as her characters. grab your attention. Lili Porter Shimmers and all that Glitters. IS most definitely Gold get yourself a copy. I challenge you won't be able to put it down. Great work Lili!!

Thoroughly Enjoyed

I read a lot of romance, but hardly any erotica. The story of Kari and Paolo draws you in and satisfies the romantic in you. It is well written and thought out. Well done, Lili Porter. I can't wait to read book 2.
