My Review:
I love Harlequin romances as they are so well written and passionate. The backstory of Flora then Rafaelle. Flora had to choose between what her parents wanted for her and what she wanted. I loved the imagery of the fancy hotel and the contrast with what Flora had gone through.
Both Rafaelle and Flora have been through hard times.
Things got HOT very very quickly.
The pace is fast, but the attention to detail is perfect.
Thanks to Lela May Wright, Harlequin Presents and Rachel’s Random Resources for my eARC in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.

Extract:
Flora shook her head and the messy bun piled on top of her head wobbled, strands of hair falling around her face.
He raised his long fingers to her cheek, and she held her breath as he caught a tendril between his thumb and forefinger and tucked it behind her ear. ‘You are coming undone, piccolina.’
‘Undone?’ she echoed.
‘Unravelling,’ he confirmed, his voice a sultry caress to the heavy weight in her chest.
Throatily, she repeated her earlier question. ‘Why are you here?’ She shouldn’t care. But she did. She wanted, and she needed, to know.
Softly, his fingers wrapped around her wrist. ‘Can you not guess?’
Heat penetrated her skin. Not a trickle, not a seeping warmth, but a shot of hotness directly into her veins.
‘No…’
