It Takes a Villa by Kilby Blades

3.0

Natalie bought a villa on Amalfi Coast. She didn't come on a whim. She has a detailed plan and set budget, to renovate the villa in six months and turn it into a functional hotel.

It was the dream, she and her grandma had. Now that Grandma passed away, she is even more determined. Once she arrives, nothing goes as planned. The offices are closed for the summer, there is a lot more to be fixed than she knew about and trouble seems to pill on.

Pietro is an architect and loves nothing more than this town. He is determined to save as many houses as he can and renovate them. Then Natalie hires him. They clash a lot, but also there is something brewing between them.

It's a lovely story. I love the setting of a beautiful town and a determined woman, set to reach her goal no matter what. But for some reason I couldn't get into it, or connect with the story, also the steamy parts felt a bit out of place.

Thank you, NetGalley for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
