He’s the quiet brooding guy who’s owned my heart since I was sixteen but has refused to claim it.
I’m the naΓ―ve 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.
We thought it’d be easy to pretend to be a happily married couple in front of our families for three months and then say we gave it our best shot and go our separate ways.
But nothing is easy when it comes to Dominic Mancini and me. Nothing.

My Review:
In the story we get to meet Dominic Mancini and Valentina Sommerland, two individuals who have known each other since they were teens. Having grown up with each other, they were able to bond with each other’s families as well, but things didn’t end turning they way they wanted them to. Now at thirty-six, their lives have dramatically changed and it’s by on encounter that will change their lives forever.
Dominic Mancini is the quiet brooding guy who has worked really hard for what he has. He also happens to be the one-night stand type-of-guy who would rather have that than an actual relationship. But deep down he has always had feelings for Valentina and no matter how hard he wants to move on from their past, he just can’t. It’s when he wakes up married to her in Las Vegas that everything changes between them. They know that they have chemistry, but they are not good for each other. When their Italian moms find out about their drunken marriage, they insist on them giving it a try. So they have to stay married for three months and go their separate ways after that if it doesn’t work out. But spending time with each other is making him see that he doesn’t want to let her go, he just needs to convince her to give them another chance.
Valentina has worked really hard to get her dancing studios to be successful and it’s surprised when Dom reaches out to her while her students compete for the championship in Las Vegas. But a dinner and way too many drinks later makes them do what they once vowed to do and that is to get married. She has never forgotten about Dom and getting married to him should be a happy moment, but it isn’t when he is in a hurry to get it annulled. When they face their families they are forced to stay together for three months and during that she sees the good in him that she saw when they were teens. He is still the caring guy that loves his family and loves to cook for her. He is everything she wants and will not atop until he truly gives their marriage a try.
I throughly loved reading this story, it was steamy and funny. It’s evident that the characters have a past and now that they are married they are forced to face their troubles in order to have a future together. Dom is your typical womanizer who doesn’t want a relationship, but he gives his love to his family. They are all a united family who love to poke one another and be there for each other. I loved their interaction as well as other secondary characters that made the book much more entertaining. Valentina is a hard working woman whose family is tight and small. She might not have siblings, but she is still pretty close to her mom and dad. I loved their chemistry and the ending was really sweet. I would recommend reading this book, you will not be disappoint it! :)

My Rating:
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.
