Super-hot alpha male…check. Nosy Italian family…check.
Beautiful love story…check. Forever in my heart by
Maria K Alexander has it
all!
When Jamie DiSilva
returns home from the military he finds a family in shambles and a community
that wants nothing to do with him. Looking to get his construction company off
the ground he and his friend Tristan have been visiting local business hoping
to jobs but with the DiSilva name it seems that all doors are closed. He
decides to approach Vicky DeFrancesco his old girlfriend. When he enters
Decadent DeLites he sees Vicky again for the first time in 10 years and
realizes that she is still the one. But getting her to go out with him is
proving to be the hardest mission of his life.
Vicky DeFrancesco, the baby of the family has finally struck
out on her own to pursue her dream of owning a bakery in her hometown of
Philadelphia. Business is picking up at Decadent DeLites and she is looking to
update the bakery as it used to be her families pizzeria. Not sure how she can
afford the renovations, help comes in the unwelcome form of Jamie DiSilva. Not
only is he her former flame he is a member of the family that nearly destroyed
hers. Vicky realizes that she is still attracted to Jamie but how can she be
with a DiSilva? Some things happen that requires Vicky to have Jamie’s
protection for a few weeks…can she fight the attraction that burns brighter now
that they are adults when all she wants to do is run the other way.
I truly enjoyed this story. Vicky and Jamie are two
wonderful characters that tugged at my heart. In order for them to get together
(and have a relationship) they have to maneuver through many different
obstacles in both their personal and professional life. Jamie is willing to
give them a chance but Vicky proves to be a little more reluctant. But through
some twists and turns Jamie and Vicky do get their HEA!
My favorite line of the story – “All work and no play makes
Vicky a grumpy and sexually frustrated woman”
I hope to read more of this author’s in the future. There
are many other characters in the book that I hope will have their own story
soon!
