Tuscan Seduction by Samantha Cote

It never occurs to high school teacher Isabella Barone that her secretive neighbor is a runaway Italian grandma with a smoking-hot grandson in pursuit. When Italian businessman Marco Di Stefani shows up in New York to reclaim his beloved nonna, he immediately sets out to seduce the luscious schoolmarm who took care of her in his absence.

After surviving a nasty breakup, Isabella’s a little gun-shy about men. Marco’s the ultimate alpha, though—he’s staked his claim on Isabella and wants her in his bed. Now. But after a rapturous night in his arms, Isabella’s sure she’s nothing more than a one-night stand to this powerful, wealthy man.

When Marco invites Isabella on an all-expense-paid summer vacation to Italy as an honored guest at his Tuscan villa, she’s flattered but a bit wary. Is he only looking for a repeat of their night of passion? Or is he taking his chances on a fiercely independent, high-spirited woman who brings out his hot-blooded, possessive nature?

Mary Jo – ☆☆☆☆
Isabella, a fourth generation Italian, lives simply. The one time she dated "above" herself, the man never let her forget her lack of sophistication and how she was lucky to date a man like him. When she broke off the relationship, he became physically violent, and she retreated from dating.

Two years later, she meets the grandson of one of her upstairs neighbors, Marco Di Stefani. Despite the instant attraction, Isabella tries to maintain distance between them, but she has no resistance when it comes to Marco's charms.

Each has to learn to adjust to the lifestyle of the other, to communicate and to trust the other. A few misunderstandings, lots of good food, and a solid romance kept me up late to finish this one.

Samantha Cote has enjoyed reading steamy romances ever since she was an adolescent devouring naughty books under the bedcovers. Although she still reserves a special place in her heart for those bodice­-ripping romances of her misspent youth, she’s delighted to write smoking­-hot romances devoid of all purple prose and euphemism. She believes it is her calling to kick open the characters’ bedroom doors and describe what’s going on between.

She lives in New York with her mucho sexio husband and a cat they spoil rotten.
