Description

It is absolutely lust at first sight for Mia, an Italian-American vacationing from the States, and Gennaro, an Italian native policing the streets of Rome. 

She’s in love with love but has an unfortunate history of trying to find it in all of the wrong places. With difficulty trusting people and a zero-tolerance policy for lying, Mia is one heartache away from giving up on it altogether.

Gennaro, on the other hand, never thought true love was even possible, which is why the secret he’s hiding could ruin things before they have a chance to begin.

Their chemistry is instant, and their desires are undeniable. Giving in to one night of pleasure wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, would it?

But after waking up in each other’s arms with their one-night stand feeling anything but singular, their lives are altered in ways that seem impossible to resist. 

Can two strong-minded people move past their outdated expectations and evolve together without losing themselves in the process?

She’s in love with love but has an...

This is a spectacular debut, and had a really great balance of romance, spice, and a beautiful Italian setting. The characters felt well developed and they had great chemistry, which made the story easy to get invested in. Their romance felt well paced and well thought out. The writing definitely didn't feel elementary or like that of a debut novelist, it was well done.

When Mia, an Italian American meets Gennaro in Italy, she finds herself rethinking her feelings about romance. She has always found herself broken hearted but with Gennaro, true love might just be there for her. For Gennaro, the chemistry with Mia is instantaneous and he fears that his past could ruin it for them both. Yet, when they wake up in each other’s arms with their one-night stand feeling anything but singular, their lives are altered in ways that seem impossible to resist.
This was a great read and quite amazing that it is also a debut novel. The atmosphere of Italy leaps from the pages as do the characters making up Mia’s family. The romance was delightful and well-paced. I am so looking forward to the next book in the series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Vivi il Momento by Mary Belle is such a refreshing and wonderful story.

The book has a sweet romance, love at the first sight, plenty of spicy scenes, angst, suspense, plot twist, family issue and heart breaking moments. The chemistry between Mia and Gennaro are intense. For someone who been heartbroken, this love between her and Gennaro really feels like love came when you are not looking. Even though, Gennaro have a lot of family issue, he shows that he can be a family man whenever his family need him. This book really shows maturity in characters.

I'll definitely will be reading more from Mary Belle and wishing to read the next book.
