I finished this one up last night and liked it overall.
My favorite parts were the ones in Italy with Pasquale. The time, the scene and all of it was romantic and inviting. I loved that he was able to be a father to his son.
Michael Dean – no. He just reminded me how manipulative and swarmy Hollywood is. Ick. That was his character through and through. I didn’t care either way for Clare or for Shane’s characters. I didn’t think they brought much to the story.
I totally agree – the ending was a mess. LOL I did the audio book and the ending left me scratching my head.
