A big thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I have read the other two books in this series and this was my least favorite. It does read as a stand alone. I like the preservation aspect but it didn't quite make sense. All reputable firms dealing with renovation and design should know the laws. That didn't make sense. I just didn't feel the vibe on this one. I wanted to like Stella because I admired her outlook on life but I just didn't. I think this shows the depth of writing. I rated this a 3.5.

I have just had my dose of Leslie North today: two books, #TheRomanoBrothersSeries and I can safely send a message to the ardent workers at the cupid factory that it's been a swoon worthy evening.
This book tales the story of Leonardo and Stella, one loves to be in control and doesn't want to give it up and the other does not give up on what she loves. A battle of hearts indeed. However, I did find it quite interesting that for once, Leo decided to take the step back and opt out and Stella had to go looking for him.
I believe my thirst for a romance novel to read has been quenched this week courtesy of NetGalley and I still say, Leslie North has a way of giving a reader such a high, with her writing style and romance.

Of the 3 books in this series, Italian Billionaires Determined Lover, is my favorite. Stella is also my favorite character.
