When Tino and Faith's relationship began they both agreed
it would be physical only. Faith would never spend the
night in Tino's family home with his parents and son and
when one of them wanted to walk away it would be just as
so. Almost a year of sneaking around together and hardly
any personal information the two begin to finally learn
something about each other. Tino learns that Faith is her
son's art teacher and good friends with his mom, all before
the two of them met. Faith learns that Tino is set in his
ways and would only marry a suitable Sicilian woman, not an
American. Once Faith learns she is pregnant with Tino's
child she knows what she has to do. She loves Tino and
wants to be a mother to Gio, his son. But she knows Tino
could never love her. So she walks away from the
relationship...if only it were that easy.
Lucy Monroe's story should be considered the book of the
month for Harlequin Presents. There are so many stories
involving Italian men and American women who fall for the
untamable men and then a baby is thrown in to change their
hearts desire. But this book is different. Monroe has set
a new standard for Harlequin Presents. It will be hard for
others to reach her level now. The plot is beautifully
written and Faith is an adorable character. She's strong
and independent. She's a successful artist in Sicily and a
teacher a couple of times a week. She doesn't need a man
in her life to complete it. Faith had been through a
horrible ordeal and so has Tino. Faith believes she isn't
meant to have a family and Tino doesn't want to marry again
after losing his wife. One little boy and Tino's mother
help change both their opinions. But ultimately the love
and respect between the two are the key points to their
relationship. Oh, and the description of this story was so
picturesque, I felt like I was in Sicily while lost in the
pages of this romantic tale. And Tino is a patient man
with Faith when they learn of her pregnancy, well let's say
as patient as he can be under the circumstances. Be sure
to check out this heart warming read!
