The Real Rio D'Aquila Hardcover – Large Print, March 15, 2012

I loved them together. I do not know how that works but even though they knew each other for a couple of days, it felt like so much longer. They both fell hard and fast. Their banter was fun and he was so great to her. I liked how he lied but how he did not. He tried repeatedly to tell her the WHOLE time and every time she thought he was going to say something else and interrupted him or kissed him or dragged him to bed. He did try so she really had no reason to feel as hurt as she did at first. I think she realized that fact in the end and I loved how neither apologized at the end. They just missed each other and kissed one another and that was that. I loved Anna's parting sentence at the very end...it was so hilarious!!!

I am from the country Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Mustique, which is referred to in this book is part of our country, one of the islands in the Grenadines, and I guess it was just unfortunate that I bought this book and actually know Mustique. The vague sort of generic descriptions and the reference to rolling hills and forests made me laugh out loud...clearly the author has either never been to Mustique or took her licence too far in describing the place....the background about the island spoiled an element of this book for me but that is not to say that the plot itself was a good one for light fanciful reading...I liked the book, and would recommend that other Vincies purchase if only to chuckle at the Mustique references.

This is the story of Isabella Orsini the last of the single Orsini children. I thought it was great. Rio is the rich, Italian, drop dead gorgeous alpha male who waited for Izzy's interview for three hours. This poor man didn't have a chance. From the moment they met sparks were flying and since he didn't want her to know he was Rio the man she kept waiting for an interview he said his name was Matteo. This technically was not a lie since that was the name given to him at the orphanage. Anyway, I don't want to tell you the story, I just want to say this book grabs you from the start and doesn't let you go. I recommend this book highly. The only fault I found is that it was too short but as short as it was I gave it five stars and I don't give five stars lightly.

It was quite simple. Not much happens, but it has a nice vibe. If you are looking for a simple and warm story, this one is for you.

The book was amazing, loved Iizzy and Rio story. Lots of humour, loving, bantering. Great end to this trilogy. Read all six of these stories. I hope Sandra can pick up and write another twist to this group.

Good book

I couldn't put this book down and the characters were every time doing something special to read more about love.

Loved it

I have read every one of Sandra Marton's fabulous Orsini brothers books and whilst I was getting a wee bit weary by the fourth one which ran along the same sort of plot line as all the others (the father was a mob leader, pious mother, independant sons,they had a bar - yadda yadda yadda) I was still tempted to buy the books about the sisters.This story really is a refreshing break from the norm M & B story. It was quirky, witty and a VERY good read. The passion between them was heartfelt in such a lovely way.I felt heartbroken for Sophia and Matteo when they broke up but the story was kept going in an interesting way right up until the blooming most ridiculous (literally) last two pages.What a load of guff the bit about the mother and father's speech (with the mother almost condoning and justifying the thug of a husband's actions) - WHY??? it wasn't necessary- it actually dampened what would have been an A1 - 5 star story for me.Ms Marton - the ridiculous ending was BEYOND awful!!Otherwise a really great read.PS REMEMBER - its only my point of view. :-)Enjoy.

Finished off the series which was good, always enjoy Sandra marton books. An easy read and finishes everything off well

This was so adorable! they had such sweet and innocent passion between each other which made it a breath of fresh air for me.

Fun,feisty,flirtatious,full of lifeThe ending may be always known, but the journey is the key, and ms martin excels again !
