Christmas Seductions #2
Clare Connelly
Reviewed by Helen
Clare Connelly really knows how to get to the heart and soul of her characters and this one is a beauty, sensual, moving and a must read for any romance reader that loves some tension and sensuality with a wounded hero and heroine, throw in a castle in the Alps of Italy, a baby and it is Christmas time, what more could you want?
Gabe Arantini is a self- made billionaire, tough and hard he swears never to love after the way he was treated as a child, he only has one person that means a lot to him and that is his best friend and business partner Noah, so when he spends a very sensual night with Abby Howard and finds her the most untrustworthy woma, he is even more determined to not love, so when one year later he runs into her he is shocked at the feelings he has and the announcement that she makes shakes him even further.
Abby has done it really tough since that night she spent with Gabe, finding herself pregnant and not pleasing her wealthy father she is abandoned and left to manage with her beautiful son Raf working hard in a top restaurant and is stunned when the man she has never forgotten walks in and has her sacked on the spot. Abby is determined to finally be able to tell Gabe about Raf and when she does he pushes her into marriage and a move to Italy, this pushes Abby’s emotions sky high.
This is a fantastic story, I savoured every word as I got to know and love both Gabe and Abby, yes there were times I could have yelled at Gabe’s pushing and the reasons why he wanted marriage so much, but the spark between them was no way going away and their journey to a HEA is and up- hill battle of wits and understanding, then trust needs to be there, and then a beautiful ending. This is a story that I highly recommend, thank you MS Connelly for hours of reading pleasure and it was so good catching up with Noah and Holly.
5/5 stars for a fabulous story
