Ahhhhh this was just such a great read. I just didn't want this book to end and I was sad to turn the last page. I'm so excited to see what's next from this author.

A meddling Nona, a villa, a pig, and biscotti, make way for an Italian vacation of a lifetime. When Zoe meets Dante it becomes an enemies to loves in this slow burn that scorches.

I hope there are other installments because this adventure was one I didn't want to end.

An enjoyable if predictable romance read with pranks, banter, past struggles, grief, and new love.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book received from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

After recovering from swooning over the hot cover, I sat down to read How Not To Mess With A MIllionaire...in one sitting! Of course, I had to stop for some major blushing in the first chapter. Then the fun began...every page was full of steamy, sexy fun which Regina writes so well. Did I mention squirming in my seat? Yep, that too!

This book wasn't necessarily bad, per se. There was just absolutely nothing about it that felt new, or fresh, or interesting. More than once, I found myself wanting to look to make sure I hadn't read it before.

Yes, romance as a genre has recycled tropes and a lot of stories are similar, but that's where the characters need to stand out...and in this one they just didn't.

I am unable to recommend this title.

I had quite a few doctor appointments and this book was a joy to read in between treatments and kept my spirits lighthearted. I enjoyed the spiritedness of Zoe and the sexiness of Dante.
The author kept things moving, but didn’t make things to unbelievable.
I would read this author again.

I received a free advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions.

I really enjoyed this fun read. The chemistry between Zoe and Dante keeps the sparks and the banter flying. They drive each other nuts with all kinds of craziness, including exploits with a mini pig. In the middle of the crazy, they develop an actual relationship that is very romantic. I enjoyed every page.

Dante and Zoe's story:
Zoe is trying to recover from a tough time by spending a month in a reclusive villa for the next month. But it's not going as planned...Dante is also staying! And he ain't for leaving!!
This is their story of trying to outdo each, other hoping the other will leave but not succeeding!!

A cute read. 3.5

Five Stars!

How Not to Mess with a Millionaire is the perfect vacation romance to read. whether you are on vacation or not. Dante and Zoe are fire! The chemistry leaps off the page, the descriptions of Italy are transporting and the backstories are not overdone. Do not miss out on this one, it has so much to offer.

Please can we also get a Luca story! I need more Nonna.

I absolutely adored this book. Adorable beach read with some smut and a happily ever after. There were definitely some parts I wish the author expanded on. Using my imagination to fill in the gaps were fine, but I think it could have added to the overall story. Our MC has had a run of bad luck with men and decides to take a month-long break in Italy (girl, yesssss). When she gets to the house she rented, a naked man is there to greet her, unbeknownst to either. It was really quite funny, though not to our characters hahahaha. I loved the reality this author brings to the page, very honest reactions and some really great parallels to this day and age (I love seeing cultural norms from our generation in books!!!). Overall a very fun and fast read.

Zoe Ryan has recently suffered a string of bad luck. Her boyfriend dumped her, her swarmy boss is stealing her interior design ideas and claiming them as his own, and her family is using her. So, she packs her bags and heads to Positano, Italy for a month. Zoe hopes the distance will force her parents to actually start acting like parents to her younger sister and become more responsible with their finances. She also hopes to figure our her life while immersing herself in the renown interior designs of the villa she’s rented for the month. Until she encounters a very grouchy, naked Dante…

Dante, millionaire restaurant financial officer, is hiding out at his villa in Positano, Italy. He’s approaching the one year anniversary of the accidental death of his fiancé. He wants to be ALONE. His Nonna, grandmother, has other plans. It’s not the first time she’s tried to play matchmaker, but it may be her last. Although Dante tries his hardest to make Zoe so uncomfortable that she’ll leave, she’s extremely headstrong. She’s not going to let Dante scare her away! As they draw closer and she works her way under his skin, Dante makes a HUGE mistake.

Regina Kyle wrote an AMAZING, heartfelt story of lost love and working through heartache to open oneself up to love again. I laughed, cried, swooned…Houndini was almost as cute as Wilbur—no piggy could ever beat Wilbur, but he was a close second! I loved that Nonna came in to kick butt and straighten Dante out! I loved that Zoe wasn’t a pushover and called Dante on his bull****, but was also kind and an excellent listener. The scene in the opera box had me thinking of Pretty Woman. This was one of the best Regina Kyle novels I’ve read! Loved it! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

This new-to-me-author has just made a spot on my must reads list to stay! I loved her characters, her plot line, her writing style. It was all perfect and created an unforgettable novel! It was a definite roller coaster of page turning awesomeness!

This first installment in the Mediterranean Millionaires series is completely unforgettable! From start to finish, I was right in the center of the whirlwind story. I fell in love with Zoe, I drooled over Dante, I completely and utterly become captive to this story. I found myself transported to Italy, seeing all the sights, feeling all the emotions. 

This is a must read! It's got perfect romance, awesome banter between characters, and plenty of heart gripping emotions. I am a Kyle fan for life, now, and can't wait for the next installment to this series. Well done, Kyle! Well done!

I loved this book! Dante and Zoe really had me sucked in from their first interaction. Your heart hurts for them both, dealing with their own pain. Dante is still trying to recover from the death of his fiancé , while Zoe is healing her wounded heart from a breakup and taking care of her entire family.
Dante’s meddling grandmother throws these two in a house and things heat up!
I felt this story had everything amazing banter, humor, sadness and there is definitely heat.

Thankyou netgalley and Regina Kyle for letting me read this ARC

Dante and Zoe find themselves forced housemates when his Nonna forgot to block the calendar with the rental agency. Each tries more and more extreme measures to antagonize the other into leaving while fighting their ever growing attraction. Love Dante's feisty Nonna and Houdini the pig! This story will keep you entertained from start to finish!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Zoe Ryan is experiencing a few setbacks in life. So an Italian vacation is just what she needs. .Due to a miscommunication, Zoe will have to share the villa with its owner Dante Sabbatini. At first it appears that Dante will use a variety of pranks to rid himself of his unwanted guest. The first prank does not go as planned so Dante gives in. I would like to have seen more pranks from both characters. Throw in close quarters, sparks between the two, and a pet pig. And don't forget the grand gesture of forgiveness. I would characterize this as a light summer read.
