4.5* this is one hundred percent a brand new favorite Harlequin romance. I loved the fake dating aspect, with the bonus of the enemies to lovers trope, which is my personal favorite. I thought that the characters were beautifully written, and the romance was so addicting. My only gripe, is the thing that bothers me about all Harlequin's: the ending is extremely rushed. Overall, I loved this one and cannot wait to continue in the series.

I did enjoy this story.

It is well written and kept me reading. I will be looking for more books by this author in the future.

This is a good read.
Guaranteed happy ending and a nice ride together there.
I’ll read the next book.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an arc in exchange for my honest review.

At the same time, Liam is the son of one of her father’s college friends and he always felt that her father stole the idea from him and it left him bitter until he died. They make an arrangement to help both their companies gain more respect and investors since both their dads were gone and end up falling in love

4/5 stars

I'm going to have to pick up more from this author. I enjoyed the writing of this book a lot and would love to see how this author writes a full-length novel. I found that when the story ended I wanted more of the story. I had a great time reading this book. I enjoy a fake relationship romance and this was well done. I enjoyed that these characters had some depth to them, that they felt easier to connect with. Overall this was a great read, I would recommend it!

Italian Escape with the CEO was a perfect book to start my New Year!

I found the book very well written and I loved how the plot of the story played out. Ava and Liam shoulds you can overcome your past, even how you were raised. I found it a meaningful story, with characters that capture your heart. The chemistry was sexy and rea and easy to follow.

This is a clean romance with a fake dating troop. There was some things I like in this book, but there are some things I hated about this book. I wish the characters where more developed. I feel that the storyline was driving this story not the characters. I do not always love the fake dating thing, but this one was done well. I wish there was more of their romance because the back story was the main thing in this book. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Harlequin Romance) or author (Nina Milne) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that. This book is schedule to be release on February 9-2021.
