A Singular Obsession Book 4
When Gio Morgese meets Sophia, he realizes the "nice guys finish last" adage might be true...and he's done coming in last.
A well-ordered life and quiet existence is not working out in Gio’s favor. Less aggressive than his alpha male friends, he's led a circumspect life and married early to gain the domestic bliss he's always craved. But marriage to the wrong woman has ensured all of his plans blew up in his face. Perplexed and a little jealous, he watches from the sidelines as his closest friends succumb to love, giving up their playboy lifestyles for the family life he’s always wanted for himself. Aware that something has to change before he ends up bitter and alone, he resolves to let down some of the walls that went up after his divorce. Then he meets Sophia, a full-figured goddess completely unlike anyone he’s ever known. Against a backdrop of jealousy and deceit, Gio soon realizes that finding love is one thing. Holding onto to it is something else. Now he’s saying and doing things he’d never imagined he would do. But there are some things—and some women—worth fighting for. For Gio, the right woman is worth everything
My Review:
I was already half in love with the reserved Gio of the previous books. To see him out from behind that mask and taking on the leading role was a special treat. Gio is what the book boyfriend fantasy is made of: strong, confident, capable, and all he wants to do is look after his woman. Add filthy rich and sexy as hell and you've got an irresistible combination. Having a figure not unlike Sophia's, I find most of her actions and reactions completely realistic. It takes a special kind of confidence to tell society at large, and especially the media, to take their toothpick-sized standard of beauty and "shove it". It's a confidence that it took Gio's unwavering desire for her in order for Sophia to begin learning it. I loved watching this pair find their happily-ever-after. It was made even better by the cameo appearances of all of Gio's friends and their families. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
