D’Angelos #3
Giovanni & Emma
Giovanni has just turned thirty and got the usual reminder from his mother: he needs to find a wife and give her grand babies! He’s happywith his life as it is but he wants to find a vineyard to manage and develop his sommelier skills. When his family gifts him a tour of visiting the Tuscany vineyards, it’s like his dream vacation. And what he least expected was to find his fate on this trip!
All Emma wanted was to work alongside her father in his wine empire. Instead, he delegated her to retail sales and made her ex-husband Manager of Operations, a position she coveted. Sick and tired of her father’s discrimination against her, she left the company, claiming her whole vacation leave while she studied her options. By serendipity, Emma was also celebrating her birthday, and her mother gifted her with a trip to Italy too. Fate made!
Gio was a darling to Emma during the trip. He was so easygoing, so gentlemanly and attentive, it was given that Emma would fall for him. When Emma’s mother got her a vineyard property to manage, it was a given that Emma would take charge and Gio would help from home. He was only a few hours away from her, he in San Diego and she in Temecula.
When Emma discovers a genetic health issue, Gio is with her. It also brings forth interesting information about her family! Her brothers and mother rally around her, and her father somehow finds himself on the outside of that closed circle. He was such a relentless jerk, I loved seeing that!
This was a lovely romance full of so many cute details. Emma’s lost luggage that kept traveling all over Italy but not to her hotel, the Golden Girls who had such a love for liquor and having fun, they were a lesson on enjoying life here and now. Emma’s mother was a warrior for her daughter and I loved that she stood up to her husband for her daughter. I wanted to slap Robert Rutledge for being such a horrible jerk to his daughter, for not giving her the recognition she deserved and instead promoting her douche of an ex-husband. I had many angry moments as I read the book, but also many victorious moments as I watched Emma and Gio surge victorious and love swept. Magnifico!
