This is your standard HP with a down on her luck FMC in need of a job and a billionaire (of course) MMC who hires her to be his cleaner who just happens to be her BFF’s brother with a lot of misconceptions about her and one that is unable to get his head out of his a*s and until he does and we get a HEA.

This is a passionate enemies-to-lovers romance set in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Romano Castelliari, a powerful and disciplined billionaire, finds his world disrupted when Kelly Butler, his sister’s best friend, arrives at his estate during a storm.

Romano initially sees Kelly as nothing more than a reckless party girl, but as they are forced to spend time together, he discovers there’s more to her than he assumed. As tensions rise and attraction builds, their animosity transforms into an undeniable connection, leading to unexpected emotions that neither can ignore.

With vivid descriptions, emotional depth, and a classic forced-proximity trope, this novel delivers a compelling romance about love emerging from unexpected places.

Was not able to like the MMC to any capacity and wasn't super fond of the FMC. This was very hard for me to read as I really did not like much about this. I was hoping for a cute book with a nice plot but unfortunately the plot also fell short for me. I was unable to finish this book

I really enjoyed this introduction to Sharon Kendrick! A down-on-her-luck woman finds refuge in the Italian castle of her best friend's handsome brother. It was kind of a Cinderella retelling, and I really liked that Kelly wasn't going to take any nonsense from Romano. He had to atone for his errors! I'll definitely go back and read the sister's story.

Sweet, very classic enemies-to-lovers. I was a bit distracted by the British English but it was amusing.

Both H and h have a lot of misconceptions about each other to begin with, fueled by their history together, but as those get cleared up and they start to really open up to each other, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to resist the pull.
