I connected so much with this story, I could not put it down. I'm usually not a slow burn lover but this worked for me. I admit I have not read this author since Experiment In Terror, not sure why, but I'm not sad I have TONS of her books to experience. Loved this !! 5 stars!!

Halle is one of my top go to authors, she has a way with romance stories that just keeps me hooked and her characters are always flawed by flawless when it comes to being able to connect to them. She does is again with One Hot Italian Summer, not only did I love the romance and characters, but I fell in love with Italy a place I've never been too. This was a wonderful story that started with loss and following a woman's journey in finding herself again.

I think I have settled on 4.5 stars for this one. I loved the setting of this story the most. I have read quite a bit by this author and she has such a great descriptive writing style that always seems to transport me to unique international settings and this book did not disappoint. With a beautiful Italian backdrop we see this romance slowly start to build through a mutual love of art between two very different types of artists. This is very much an opposites attract situation and a bit forbid
