Romance Books Reviews & Treats

Gardener heroine is on a business trip to Venice with her boss. She encounters her wealthy Italian husband whom she left 2 years ago, after his father choked her for miscarrying his desired heir. She doesn't want to reconcile with him even though they still love each other & have an even deeper connection with each other b/c of his family & her fear of not being able to provide him with an heir.

This was a decent romance, albeit the paranormal stuff. It was angtsy. I empathized with the blocks that interfered with the main characters marriage. Although I understood why heroine didn't think that she could be straightforward with Hero about his family, she was not emotionally strong enough to have done so & therefore caused a lot of pain for Hero & herself as as consequence. Hero's abiding love for heroine was touching. The paranormal element was an interesting touch esp since Lamb wrote this book before the paranormal-romance frenzy. It added a bit to Hero & heroine's emotional connection. Sexual chemistry was good. Love scenes were ok.

Recommended.
