Avery decides to surprise her attorney husband, Daniel
Remington, with a visit to his law offices. When she opens
his office door she is shocked to see him having wild,
creative sex with his administrative assistant atop
the Chippendale antique desk, something they never did
together. Avery knows she can never
forgive him. It is time to move on. She calls her best
friend, Daisy, living in Rome. She pours out her heart to her
BFF and asks her what she is supposed to do with the rest
of her life? Daisy tells her
to come to Rome and stay with her. A summer in Rome sounds
perfect.
Marcello Bianchi is the most
beautiful man in the world. Tall, slim, with cognac colored
eyes that glimmered with mischief, eyelashes so long they
looked like they were lined with coal, sinful looking lips,
patrician nose, and just so wickedly sexy. Avery met
Marcello and fell completely in love with him nine years
ago. They became lovers
and were inseperable. She never told him about Daniel, her
boyfriend waiting for her at home in Boston. Avery always
intended to meet up with Marcello again when her career was
established but fate had other plans. Now fate is at play
again, reintroducing Marcello into Avery's life as Daisy's
co-worker.
United again, Marcello and Avery pick up where they left off
nine years ago. An unforgettable adventure begins and their
love becomes stronger. The first time she meets his parents
and huge family in Pienza at the hundreds of years old Il
Gioco del Cacio al Fuso, a carnival, was fun, the Bianchi
family was sweet and fell in love with Avery. Their sex
life is steamy and at times hilarious.
A forever together ending is the icing on the cake.
ROMAN CRAZY is a book I could not put down and I finished it in
one day. Be prepared to be transported to the delight that
is Rome and fall in love with Marcello and Avery and this
romantic story of their second chance. Alice Clayton and
Nina Bocci tell a story that touched my heart while I
laughed and cried and swooned at Marcello. Their
descriptions of the Eternal City are vivid, whether you
are climbing the Spanish Steps, shopping in the fabulous
boutiques, or tossing coins in the many fountains, or
wandering around the outdoor markets. Luscious are the
visits to the many, many restaurants serving homemade pasta,
thick, crusty Italian bread and the light Tiramisu for
dessert that is famous in Italia.
ROMAN CRAZY by Alice Clayton and
Nina Bocci is five stars and a lovely read. Brava!
A delicious, sexy, laugh-out-loud modern romance about a
newly single woman and her journey to find love again, from
New York Times bestselling author Alice Clayton and
debut author Nina Bocci.
Avery Bardot steps off the plane in Rome, looking for a
fresh start. She’s left behind a soon-to-be ex-husband in
Boston and plans to spend the summer with her best friend
Daisy, licking her wounds—and perhaps a gelato or two. But
when her American-expat friend throws her a welcome party on
her first night, Avery’s thrown for a loop when she sees a
man she never thought she’d see again: Italian architect
Marcello Bianchi.
Marcello was the man—the one who got away. And now
her past is colliding with her present, a present where she
should be mourning the loss of her marriage and—hey, that
fettuccine is delicious! And so is Marcello…
Slipping easily into the good life of summertime in Rome,
Avery spends her days exploring a city that makes art
historians swoon, and her nights swooning over her
unexpected what was old is new again romance. It’s
heady, it’s fevered, it’s wanton, and it’s crazy. But could
this really be her new life? Or is it just a temporary
reprieve before returning to the land of twin-set cardigans
and crustless sandwiches?
A celebration of great friendship, passionate romance, and
wonderful food, Roman Crazy is a lighthearted story
of second chances and living life to the fullest.
