Gianluca (Marini Family #1)Gianluca by Isabella Cassazza
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was quickly drawn into Gianluca by Isabella Cassazza. At first I thought I expected to have difficulty with Italian words but then my worries were alleviated by how the point of view was told in first person by Callie in a simultaneous way that recounted the events that Gianluca Mirani described. There was only one part I didn’t understand that was about the symbols by Signore Ravelli.

Gianluca Mirani was a ruthless manager at an Italian fashion company. His high standards made people avoid his disapproval as he was quick to fire anyone that questioned him. He was in a bind due to his assistant going on her honeymoon. An intern was being brought in for 6 weeks to fill in.When he realizes Calliope James is an American and has no previous experience, he automatically believes she will be a major hindrance to an upcoming advertisement photo shoot.

Callie arrives in Italy only to face one issue after another. The apartment she has leased seems to lack air conditioning. All of her clothes are wet from her suitcase being in the rain, and she has no phone service. Thankfully, Gianluca’s sister Fracesca befriends Callie and helps her with clothing and other tasks when Gianluca’s assistant leaves work.

Immediately, Callie has a crush on Gianluca. As they spend more time together, both begin to notice a magnetic attraction to the other. Do they end up acting on their inner desires? Gianluca never wanted a relationship, and Callie wished she had not chosen to do an internship. Both of them have something that shadows their lives. What secrets get revealed and will they cost Gianluca his job? Read this suspense filled romance novel to see what the future holds for the duo. I am certain that the plot twists will keep you guessing until the end.
