He’s the quiet brooding guy who’s
owned my heart since I was sixteen but has refused to claim it.
I’m the naïve woman who believes
that someday our time will come.
I just didn’t realize that someday
would include waking up in Vegas with a raging hangover and a ring on my
finger.
If we believed in fate, maybe one
of us would’ve trusted that something more powerful than ourselves interceded
because our love is one of tangled vines. As twisted and frayed as they’ve
become over the years, they’ve never broken.
An annulment seemed like the easy
way out. We should’ve known it wouldn’t be fate that intervened, but our
Italian Mamas. They can deliver Oscar-worthy performances when heaping on the
guilt.

Okay.
My eyes and my head hurt after being caught up in the whirlwind that is Dom and Val and ALL their baggage.
I mean...DAMN.
But even though impulse to toss the kindle into the freezer was strong, many, many times I didn’t. There are numerous reasons I didn’t ~ their families, their friends ~ but the main one is that I NEEDED to see them get their HEA and even though it was rough, it was totally worth it.
Dom and Val...Dom is a workaholic. He’s sweet and caring, but he’s all about his job and while I totally understood his need to be financially secure, even I wanted to reach out, shake him and tell him he needed a life. Val is sassy, sweet and caring but she’s also the kind of person who feels the need to do the ‘right’ thing ~ at least as it has been told to her for her entire life and that’s when things tend to go sideways.
I have to be honest and say that I did not expect Dom and Val’s road to their HEA to be that convoluted or intense. Don’t get me wrong the smexy and fun were there, but man did these two just need to get over themselves. The conversations they had with themselves in their own heads were crazy! (My eyes seriously hurt from all the rolling) but even with all of THAT going on, it was so easy to see how good they could be together if they truly let themselves just be. But of course, nothing could be that easy and while I did flip flop between whose team I was on throughout most of the book, I did feel more for Val when that last sinkhole happened, but have to give Dom props for pulling her out and fixing things.
This series was my first by the authors, but will not be the last. The writing was engaging, the characters crazy and I absolutely LOVED the big, crazy family dynamic that really brought it all to life. And I will definitely be keeping an eye out for Blanca’s book because not only does she need an HEA, but I really want to spend more time with these crazy characters!

Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we’re not one author, we’re two. Yep, you get two USA Today Bestselling authors for the price of one. Our goal is to bring you romance stories that have "Heartwarming Humor With a Side of Sizzle" (okay...you caught us, that's our tagline). A little about us... We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.
