ABOUT THE BOOK

He was older. Impossibly gorgeous. And had no clue I existed.

Luca Fritz was the worst sort of playboy, constantly falling in and out of love with every woman he met. I used to spend hours of my life staring at the huge Fritz mansion from the window of the staff house dreaming of him.

By eighteen I’d all but given up my fantasy, set to go off to The Conservatory in London to follow my dreams when fate stepped in with other ideas. That summer I was young. Innocent. And forbidden to him. I knew when we succumbed to the explosive passion between us that he would inevitably ruin me. I wasn’t wrong.

Four years later, fate decides to step in again. I’m offered my dream job as a first chair cellist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Only I know what comes with it. Luca Fritz. On opening night, he comes barreling back into my life. Desperate for a shot at his second chance. A second chance I have no intention of giving.

Now a brilliant neurosurgeon he thinks he knows exactly the right way to crawl back not only into my
bed but into my heart. I don’t care how persistent, unexpected, or clever he is. I am not that love-sick teenage girl anymore. It’ll take a hell of a lot more than panty-melting smiles and heart-stopping encounters to win me back over.

This cocky playboy is about to learn that all’s fair in love and war. And this is the latter.

MY REVIEW

I continue to devour the Boston’s Billionaire Bachelors series. Luca and Raven’s love story of a school-girl crush for a forbidden man is heartbreaking and very hot as sacrifices lead to a chemistry-filled reunion worth waiting for.

Dr. Luca Fritz, aka Dr. Playboy, is gorgeous, charismatic, relentless, and hopelessly in love with a woman he has sacrificed his life for four years. Was it worth breaking her heart to force her to follow her dreams? I guess he’ll find out now that she is back in Boston. Operation Winning Her Back is going to be a tough road, but he won’t stop until he gets the girl.

Raven Fairchild is a cello savant who is living her dream as first chair cellist for the Boston Symphony Pops Orchestra in her hometown of Boston with her father and the Abbot-Fritz family who practically raised her. She is proud of her accomplishments, but moving back to Boston has put her in the sights of the one man who broke her heart four years ago and abandoned her at her most vulnerable. The constant reminders of his betrayal in the form of flowers after every performance only devastated her more wondering why he tortured her. In her head, she thwarts his advances as he tries to wheedle his way back into her life. If only her heart would listen.

Luca and Raven are on fire! The passion and ever-burning love between these two is so all-consuming.  The push and pull is unstoppable and kudos to the talented, stubborn, and headstrong Raven for fighting the good fight to make Luca work for it. Her pain was so palpable and I teared up many times as she describes the hurt she felt over Luca’s betrayal. Luca is so used to getting his own way and watching confident and cocky Dr. Playboy struggle to change his tactics of wooing the woman of his dreams is a pleasure to watch. Luca did have good intentions for what he did four years ago, but his actions were not the best at the time and he wasn’t my favorite of the brothers. He’s a little forceful at times which rightfully earned him some pepper spray in the face, but with the help of family, he is able to make his actions count. 

I love the Abbott-Fritz family and as the story continues to rally around the matriarch of the family and her recurrent cancer scare it gives a lovely feeling to the whole read. I recommend anyone read the whole series to get a better feel of the many characters involved. I was also very interested in Raven’s background as the daughter of two spies. Her mother is deceased and her father is top security to the Abbot-Fritz family. I can’t wait for Kaplan’s story. Truthfully, I thought he would be a better fit with Raven with all of the wonderful help and kindness he gives to Raven during those four years apart from Luca.

I highly recommend this book and the whole series which is filled with endless emotion, crazy setbacks, and passion galore! Seriously, pick up this author, you won’t regret it!
