The latest review of The Italian's Chosen Wife, from Romance Reader's Connection
Meghan Selby is running away from her difficult pastin small town USA. She has made her temporary life as
a waitress in a small café in Italy, living in a slimy
rooming house. When she looks up and catches the eye
of handsome, notorious playboy, Alessandro di Agnio
she never imagines that she will end up in his villa,
having dinner, spending time with him.
Alessandro is a man with many deep, dark secrets. The
CEO of his family’s vast business, rooted in jewelry,
he was the second son who took over the empire when
his brother died in a car crash involving them both.
While intensely attracted to the beautiful but haunted
Meghan, he also sees her as a woman who doesn’t know
of the politics or press surrounding his past. In his
mind, this makes her the perfect candidate to become
his wife.
This is a very interesting novel. Originally
published in Britain by Mills & Boon, it is being
introduced to the US; the author lives here but spent
extensive time in Europe. The cosmopolitan flair of
the book is evident and adds to the intrigue and
flavor of this romance between what initially looks
like a mismatched pair.
I actually could not put this book down as it got
progressively more interesting, letting the reader
begin to understand the relationship between these two
complex people. Meghan’s past clearly explains her
current behavior just as Alessandro must overcome his
guilt and pain at his perceived role in his brother’s
death. Can these two find love in that process? The
answer unfolds in this lovely romance novel.
