She finds herself busy running the town’s new shelter, while also renovating her own problematic home—and dating again.

When Audrey gets a call to find an injured stray in an orange grove at an old estate, the last thing she expects to find is love. The estate owner is charming, handsomeand like no one she’s met before. Might he be a Mafiosi?

It seems like the surprises never end, until she finds one more thing on her way out of the grove: a dead body.

  • Hoped for better, but could not finish…

    Too many holes in the plot and exasperatingly bad logic in the main character’s reasoning. The first four books in the series weren’t as bad. This one seems to have been written quickly, in one draft, with little or no editing. I’d like my money back on this one. I feel a bit ripped off.
  • Feeble minded heroine

    As always, amazing depictions of scenery and day-to-day life in Italy. Good writing and decently-paced murder-mystery. A little too much angsty-romance for my taste. Can be read as a standalone since this was the first I read from this specific series from this author. I’ll definitely be going back to book 1 to get the full picture. Looking forward to the next book! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    perhaps Audrey cannot choose between dating G and Mason because they both showed no serious interest in her until they saw each other as rivals for her affections- amusing since they both did pretty much everything but pursue Audrey a charming new wave mafia man seems a poor idea as well Musomelli seems charming- and yet very judgmental when rumors abound after Audrey finds another body new hobbies and new candidates for beaux seem in order I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
