Kate Anderson is the manager of her grandmother's art gallery in Manhattan and engaged to Harold Trent Wellington, a very rich corporate lawyer. The wedding is in two months even though Harold has feeling of inadequacy in the bedroom and they have never made love; they are seeing a couples therapist. After all there are more important things than sex -- Harold has a calming effect on her and he is so thoughtful. He is also a complete snob and being a jerk just completes him.
Anthony Petrocelli has a MBA from Princeton and at one time worked on Wall Street. Tony decided Wall Street was not for him, quit and joined the New York Police Department Mounted Patrol and is assigned to Central Park and has never been happier. He also moved back to within five blocks of his parent's restaurant in Queens.
When Tony was sixteen his grandmother Nonna predicted that he would meet his bride at the age of thirty-six, in a park and she would be blonde with green eyes, standing next to the blessed Madonna.
Kate is supervising an outdoor art exhibit in Central Park when she first sees Tony. "Italian on a Stallion" is the first thing that comes to her mind. When Tony spies Kate standing next to a painting of the blessed Madonna he wonders if his Nonna really can read tea leaves.
If you enjoy chick-lit romance, please run to the store and purchase a copy of this one. The dialogue is hilarious and I especially loved the conversations between Kate and her two college friends, Alex and Eve, when they are having apple martinis.
There are so many times while reading this book that I laughed out loud. And, the bedroom scene were not bad either. Be prepared that once you start this book to get nothing done until you have finished it.
I only wish that Alex and Eve had their own stories. I could go on and on about how good this book is but I don't want to give anything away. This book will be on my keeper shelf.
When Officer Anthony Petrocelli literally drops down off his
horse and lands at Kate Anderson's feet to announce he's her
destiny, Kate figures it's just another typical day in New
York. Besides, no hunky Italian on a stallion talking about
his grandmother's "marriage vision" (in tea leaves, for
crying out loud) is going to disrupt Kate's plans. And
that's a prudent marriage to a corporate attorney (whose
difficulties in the bedroom are sure to be temporary).
Luckily, Anthony isn't in the market for a bride. He just
wants the already-engaged Kate to meet his family and
disprove their silly prediction once and for all. Problem
is, steamy thoughts of Anthony have been running non-stop
through Kate's head. Beneath her well-bred sensibility, a
new, passionate, unpredictable Kate is beginning to think
that maybe love shouldn't be practical. And that a
cop named Anthony could be just what the Fates have planned
for her after all...
