Good As Gold by Sarina Bowen

 

Synopsis:

Leila:

What I meant to do: Quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own.

What happens instead: My crush comes back to town when I’m at my most vulnerable. After too many cocktails, I ask him to be my baby’s father.

In my defense, it’s been a rough couple of months. Seeing Matteo Rossi again after fourteen years has done a number on my emotions. And my libido.

In the morning, I’m hoping he’s forgotten the whole thing. But no such luck. In fact, Matteo has a few clarifying questions. And a few naughty ideas, too…

Matteo:

What I meant to do: visit Vermont for my brother’s wedding. Make amends to my family, and mourn the loss of a friend.

What happens instead: a hot affair with the one who got away. But it can’t last. My life is two thousand miles away, and Leila deserves everything. She’s as good as gold.

Review:

I loved this Jesus look alike hero.

Matteo comes back home for his brother's wedding. At the party he meets Leila. She was one of her best friends during his teen, but he stopped to text her and to come back to Vermont when she broke his heart dating his other best friend. Now they try to rekindle their friendship without awkwerdness, it will be hard but it's still worth it.

Leila is an independent beautiful woman, Matteo is an awesome and generous man. Their physical chemistry is palpable, their feelings for each other are evident to everyone except to them. The slow burn was greatly done, but I was over joyed to see them coming together in the end.
I loved these characters, they showed a personal growth and a lot of emotions.

Sarina Bowen once again wrote an incredible good story that I read it in one sitting. It was great to meet all the Rossis again, the teasing among the family members made me laugh a lot.

I recommend it.
