It was an ok read, not to be taken seriously. I appreciate the plot and I found the ending quite corny. Characters didn't develop much, although there are bits and pieces of their history, I found a lot of elements missing. Not that I didn't enjoy this novel, I did but I've read better Christina Dodd novels. Love scenes are in short supply here as they weren't described vividly and they're more of foreplay. There is only one major scene and it's a quickie. Brandi tries too hard to prove her father wrong but she doesn't do it for herself, Roberto surely redeemed his character in an unpredictable way. I think this is Ocean's 11-inspired although the story didn't delve much in details. The writing style is fluent but every time something gets interesting, I find myself reading a dead end. The plot and storyline is really promising, but as I mentioned before, there are a lot of details missing. 3 stars only. ( )

This isn't something I would normally pick up and read, but since it was one of the selections in a book group I'm in, I thought I'd give it a shot. Well, I liked it enough to come home from work today and read for almost 2 hours to finish it. It's no literary treasure, but it was a cute, fun, kicky romance with very little angst and just enough sex. ( )

Brandi Michaels fiance elopes with abnother woman and she gets involved with one of her law firms Italian clients who is a jewel thief. ( )

When you narrow down the elements: everyday lawyer meets italian count jewel thief, it seems too far-fetched to read. Luckily Dodd creates engaging characters who bring life to this story. ( )
