This is the first book I have read in this series and I have to say I was blown away by this story. I loved every minute of it and when it was over I kept checking my kindle to see if there was more because I didn't want it to end.

Mari and Jordan know of each other through their daughters but Jordan also happens to be Mari’s professor.
They have chemistry from the start. They decide to just be friends until they can’t bare to not be more.
At this point is where things went downhill with me. I felt like they had no closure to their story. It was like walking into a glass wall you didn’t see. The ending came out of nowhere.

This is the fifth book in Kathryn Shay’s “Gentileschi Sisters” series. This book can easily be read as a stand-alone book. However, the reader will enjoy the story better if she reads all of them in order.
This series is about seven women from Casarina, a small country in Europe. Even though their parents are the king and queen of this country, the princesses have chosen to live and work in the United States.

Unfortunately, their daughters are best friends, so they are becoming more and more involved in each other’s lives. That is until Jordan’s secrets are exposed, and Mari realizes they cannot have the life together she wants.

I can’t believe that the Gentileschi Sisters series is coming to an end. I loved this fifth book about Mariella Gentileschi Moretti, a young widowed mother who has been afraid to risk her heart again since her young husband passed away. Mari is working on her law degree at Georgetown and signs up for a class on ethics being offered by a visiting professor, Dr. Jordan Dubois. Mari and Jordan’s young daughters have become fast friends in school and bring their parents together even as they try to

Mariella is a young widow with a daughter, Lilly. She is also attending law school. Jordan is a visiting professor with a daughter, Yvette who becomes fast friends with Lilly. Mariella is also in Jordan’s highly sought after ethics class. I love how Kathryn Shay portrays the classroom, students’ interactions and assignments. She gets the teaching point across with some humor thrown in. However, as the story develops some serious issues are brought up. This story also brought tears for Mariella a

Ethically how can you overcome an unethical person
How can an ethics teacher deal with being blackmailed. Can he do what is best for his daughter when her mother threatens to hurt her because she doesn’t care. How can he handle falling in love when his ex wife refuses to let go. A lot of hard questions are raised in this book, but it is an easy read about honorable people facing difficult problems.

This was an interesting story. It includes an age difference, questions regarding ethics, and sneaky daughters. The attraction between Mari and Jordan was instant and hard to deny. Their daughters, Lilliana and Yvette, want to be together as sisters and pout and whine their way to getting what they want. I enjoyed Mari's determination to succeed, Jordan's struggle against his better nature, and the antics of the girls. I recommend this book.

Mariella maybe a princess but grief has come with her husband‘S death.
A life focused on a career, and her daughter now.A law class from a visiting professor Jordan, is the beginning of change for both. Drawn to each other by sadness, loss, and girls that became friends. Jordan had choices, from what the fame brought him, was there a way to be free of what happened.

So many emotions. Tough ethical issues. A well-written story that will tug at your heart strings. And if you’re like me, it will also make you mad. The character development in this story will carry you along. Mari and Jordan work. Their kids are cute and get along, and in a perfect world their relationship would be golden. I really enjoyed getting to know them. However, cheating is a choice and any “reason” is an excuse.
This is the fifth book in this series. Mariella is grieving over the death of her husband, and decided it is time to move on for her daughters’ sake, and attends law school. Dr Jordan Dubois is a Pulitzer winner and a single dad to his daughter. This is a good story about forbidden love, and having secrets, which had me intrigued from the very beginning. I recommend this story for all readers.
Jordan is Mariella’s ethics professor which causes problems when they realise how much they care for each other. How they face this and what the outcome is is written with great skill and thoughtfulness. I enjoyed this story.
