This one's about the youngest Valtieri brother, who's a disillusioned lawyer, and wedding planner Anita della Rossa, whom we have already met in both the previous books. They are childhood sweethearts, but now thirty-five-year-old Gio broke off their relationship abruptly five years ago, without giving her any reason.

The author says that,
"I’ve loved every one of these brothers, but Gio, for me, has a special place in my heart. I hope you find a place for him, too, as you travel their roller coaster with them."
And in the previous books too, whenever Gio was mentioned I also couldn't wait to get to his book. The youngest is always the fun-est, and his teasing and seriousness both used to get to me.

This entire series has quite the personal touch by [a:Caroline Anderson|98550|Caroline Anderson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1397763083p2/98550.jpg]. The author is based out of Suffolk and her English heroines are from there too. Isabelle's son is Maximus, and so is the author's grandson. How sweet!

Giovanni is looking forward to spending some quality time with his family, especially since Anita would be there. The events are nine months after Massimo's wedding. His wardrobe consists of things Anita got for him and for them being childhood sweethearts, it couldn't get any cuter! I still remember how in the first book Luca mentions her to Isabelle and tells her how she slapped him when he was sixteen and had tried to proposition her. Haha!

One of his not so happy clients hit him and one thing led to another and he's badly injured. A trip to the hospital, to the theatre is in order, and then Anita is by his side. And then Anita takes him to her home to help him recover. With a sprained ankle, there goes their skiing holiday. Gio lives and works in Firenze and Anita misses him desperately, but she can only pine for him since he obviously doesn't feel the same, having ended their relationship five years ago.

I love their teasing, flirty banter. It's obvious it comes from a long friendship. It's so sweet. Read about an Italian heroine after long. But he thinks he couldn't give his all to a relationship, especially after the debacle with Kirsten. So, he never wants to be in one. They spend two blissful weeks in each other's arms, till his family are back from their ski holiday.

The result: she's pregnant, in spite of all the precautions they took. And there's something really bad in his past, which no one, not even his family, knows about.

Every relationship he’d had failed, and the fallout, on one occasion, had been catastrophic.

It has a picture-perfect ending, but there seems to be no proper closure in case of Kirsten.
