Annie and the Red-Hot Italian Paperback – Large Print, December 28, 2010

Enjoyed the book. Annie had gotten pregnant while on a skiing trip with her college friends. She did not know the man's last name. Some four years later she was on a business trip in Italy when she met Luv again. He was a successful businessman and he did not remember Annie until he saw the tattoo of the unicorn on her back.

Annie had met Luca four years ago on a ski slope and the chemistry between the two was awesome. Luca the billionaire alpha Italian male had disappeared from her life in a flash and now four years later she bumps into him at a meeting in his hotel. He's crazy about her which is nice to read about because she has a secret. When he finds out about his son he tells her they are going to marry. Yes he's arrogant, pushy, mean at times but you have to admire the workmanship. I liked him instantly, because of the humanity of the guy. I liked the way he wasn't going to give up on Annie or his son. When he realized how much he loved Annie he was willing to walk away from them and asked if he could court her. I got all misty! I recommend this book highly. This is the first book about the sisters that I honestly loved. Again Ms Shoemaker and I are in complete agreement about a book....this is rare since I usually don't agree with her at all.

5 Stars because it is a very well written book. So far one of the best in the series. The tension kept me wondering how they were going to solve their issues. I just loved it from start to finish. Loved it. Will definitely recommend to all. (The entire series).

This book falls under the Balfour brides spell. Don't expect a WOW factor but it is worth the read as I said it was cute!

One of my all time favorite authors. I have read books from this author for well over 20 years and still impressed with her writing skills. Her books started me reading "romance" books and she never disappoints, always a good read.

This is the third book in the Balfour series. Pretty good book. Not the best & not the worst book I've ever read! I have read BETTER books by Ms. Mortimer!

loved how annie and Luc got reunited.....so hoot.loved the story so much.

The Balfour books are almost all great, but this book is terrible. She is bitter, resentful, angry, quick to fight and to misconstrue everything. She's just plain nasty up until the last few pages of the book, and it is unclear how anyone would fall in love with her, even if he knew her for more than three days. But no, they have one night four years ago, and two days now, they fight and insult each other constantly, and fall in love at the end. There is absolutely no basis for believing they like each other, much less anything more than that. It's just not an enjoyable read at all.There! Are! Also! Too! Many! Exclamation! Marks! And the Kindle edition has a slew of formatting errors and typos, which is probably why they lowered the price.Bottom line is, don't waste your money. The other Balfour books are light years ahead of this one (as are Carole Mortimer's other Harlequins), and they're all better to read than this one.
