This devil has her blood boiling…
Stella Whitaker’s never been one to mince words. But on a flight to Paris, instead of sending a seat-chat message to her friend about the guy who cut in front of her in the boarding line, she inadvertently sends it to the man himself, letting him know in no uncertain terms what she thought about him.
Dominico Romeo has no patience for annoying women, particularly when he’s short on sleep and feeling overwhelmed. So when he politely points out to a woman in front of him that she’s in line prematurely for her boarding zone, he’s less than pleased that she lashes out at him. He shrugs it off, until the two of them end up paired together in a professional wine class that might just drive him to drink.
My Review
An airplane ride has never been more entertaining! Culinary student Stella has a record breaking bad flight and Dominico Romeo takes the blunt end of her wrath.
Sometimes our childhood shapes us in negative ways, but Stella has some amazing people in her corner. Plus, Dominico has to be the most patient Romeo so far and a total sweet heart on top of it.
I had planned on only reading a few chapters at first but couldn't put it down. A terrific storyline, well-developed and extremely relatable characters, what's not to love?? Great read!

Look who’s grown up now…
Valentina Romeo loved a romantic wedding, and couldn’t wait to serve as an attendant in her favorite cousin Prince Luca of Monaforte’s upcoming nuptials. She and Luca had revealed in childhood summers at the family estate on the Ligurian Sea. Many of her fondest memories were made there, along with one of her most humiliating, when Luca’s college roommate Parker shunned her brave declaration of love.
Investment banker Parker Hornsby hadn’t been back to Monaforte since he was in college. Back then he’d spent a glorious summer enjoying idyllic days at his best friend Luca’s family beach home. The fun was marred only by Luca’s obtrusive younger cousin Valentina, who could barely mask her crush on Parker, forcing him to flatly cut her off before she got her hopes up. The last thing Parker wanted was to be accused of going after his friend’s jailbait cousin, even if she was about the sweetest fourteen-year old girl he’d ever met.
But when Parker shows up in Monaforte, paired in Luca’s wedding with Valentina, all bets are off on whether he can restrain himself from the beautiful—and fully grown-up—heiress to the world-famous Romeo wine label, or whether she remains the nemesis she thinks he is.
My Review
I have been absolutely loving the Romeo family and was very excited to read the story of the only female sibling Valentina Romeo. Book three not only brings us that story, but also the royal wedding of Prince Luca (the cousin to the Romeo siblings) and Larkin. You should remember them from book eight of the It's Reigning Men series, A Court Gesture. Valentina Romeo and Parker Hornsby are both attendants in the Royal wedding and they had met before. Their prior meeting definitely left an impact on Valentina and the sparks flew at the week-long royal wedding prep.
This was such a fascinating read and I can not wait to read Blue Color Romeo and the continuing story of the Romeo family.

Sometimes trouble seems to find Matteo Romeo whether he seeks it out or not. Long regarded as the black sheep of the famed Romeo winemaking family, he’s hardly surprised when he finds himself in yet another predicament, this time harboring an unauthorized farmhand who he’s discovered hiding in a tool shed just as the grape harvest gets underway.
Freespirited Lizzie Moretti has long prized her independence. Lizzie’s been wandering around the world, working odd jobs to earn just enough money to keep on the go. Forced to flee an aggressive host in the middle of a rainy night while working on a farm in Tuscany, she seeks the shelter of a tool shed until she can figure out a plan. Alas, it happens to be on the estate of the wealthy Romeo family on the eve of the coveted grape harvest, when strangers like Lizzie are most unwelcome.
She’s never put down roots. And he can’t seem to escape the roots that sometimes feel like they’re strangling him. They both walked away from family, but can they find salvation in the very family they’ve tried to run from?
My Review
Sometimes it's fate that brings two nomadic souls together or maybe it's just a well placed tool shed. Who knows? But, Lizzie and Matteo definitely have a journey that will make you reach for a good glass of wine.

Romance Genre
Synopsis
Love the wine you’re with…
Alessandro Romeo is burned out after finally extricating himself from a nearly year-long relationship with a hot-tempered Italian model who set fire to his Lamborghini when she suspected him of cheating. He’s sworn off the fairer sex and instead spends his waking hours overseeing the expansion of his family’s hugely successful winery in the magnificent hills of Chianti, where he is happy to never see a model again, let alone date one.
American supermodel Taylor McFarland might be blond, but she sure isn’t dumb. And she’s smart enough to know to avoid the shallow men who seem to migrate toward her type, the ones who presume that models are the wild women of the fashion industry who happily discard men like used tissues. Only Taylor’s not that type at all; instead, she’s intent on using the influence her position affords her to help those less fortunate than she.
But when her good deeds means clashing with the quintessential heartless Italian player who she’d heard left model Gia Sandretti at the altar, well, she will happily give him a piece of her mind, and certainly not a piece of her heart.
My Review
Trust is a valuable thing, just as fear is a powerful foe. Sandro Romeo and Taylor McFarland have been put through the paces by the opposite sex. One special weekend at the Romeo Vineyard could lead to so much more than a successful business launch. Provided they both can overcome the pains of their past.
I very much enjoyed book one in The Royal Romeos series. I can't wait to read more about this wine making family with the Royal ties.
