Adeline is freshly graduated and off to start her life in Italy. She got a job offer thanks to a sorority sister and takes the opportunity to expand her horizons. Being a whole ocean away from her clingy ex is a major plus. She knows next to nothing about her soon to be boss, Stone Crenshaw, but boy does she make a great first impression upon meeting him for the first time.

Stone Crenshaw is currently renovating his historic hotel and wants nothing more than to be done with this so he can focus on other things. He wants to move on to newer, fresher projects and keep himself busy. The first meeting with Adeline was not a smooth one, but he was willing to give her a chance to prove that she is willing and able to fill the shoes of his current secretary. Stone finds out that a well known hotelier is ready to sell and he pounces at the chance to nab the hotel. The only problem is that this man is family-oriented and Stone doesn’t have a family of his own. He will go to any lengths to make this deal happen including making Adeline his fiancé.

I enjoyed the story line for this book very much. It was a good listen while I did chores around the house and it kept me entertained. I especially liked the idea that they were reincarnated soul mates of a couple from different social backgrounds many years before. I like to think that reincarnation is a thing and that two people who are truly meant to be together find one another in every life that they live.
