I always love finding new authors and books to read. I truly had mixed feelings about story. It started out promising, a young woman grieving over the sudden passing of her mother, coming into a ton of money, meeting a sexy gardener. Then in the middle I found myself losing interest a little, it moved a little slow but I kept with it and I am glad I did because they story sure did pick up and the mystery started to unravel.

I felt suspicious about Emilio from the very beginning, like he was hiding something or involved in some shady things. It took A LOT of time to warm up to him. I loved Tessa though, she didn’t take anything for granted, she was almost afraid the other shoe was going to drop and her life for the past year was going to one big dream.

There is no denying the instant connection between Emilio and Tessa. There are definitely some kindle melting scenes throughout the story and not just from those two. You’ll understand once you’ve read the book.

While this story was a little slow at times, I still enjoyed it. It was hot, it had some drama and it was suspenseful.
