Loved it why do these books always leave me finishing them with a sigh...i always wasn't more lol

Di Marcello's Secret Son, Rachael Thomas

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre:  Romance, Women's Fiction

So, every now and then I want a dip back to an old fashioned, easy to read romance, usually after reading several intense contemporary romances or a string of fantasy/paranormal.
Its kind of like palate cleansing between courses, something fairly innocuous to clear the taste. This was just too innocuous though, too bland. I felt I was reading the same scenes over and over again. 

Sadie would bear a grudge, then give in to Antonio, then something would be said and its grudge time again.
Antonio would be bitter about being kept away from Leo, then they'd get hot and heavy and everything would be wonderful for a short time, sometimes a very short time, just minutes. Something would be said and its Cold Wars all over again. 

TBH I didn't feel any connection between the two, found it hard to believe that undercover persona worked so well, and as for the Secret he's holding about his first marriage. Yeah, that was pretty easy to guess. 
Sadly not one for me, but everyone is different, its could be perfect for you - you chose. 

Stars: Two, its me not the story, some will love it, I didn't.

Secret Son story-line. This book has a bit more of a complicated story, secret under cover work and her being unable to contact him.
It's a good story the secret child has been re-hashed several times but the under cover adds something a little bit different.
Antonio Di Marcello is dominant and arrogant and all about duty and family obligation. Sadie is hurt and desperate not to fall for Antonio again.
As always is they had communicated they could have resolved things quicker.
A good enough story.

3 Stars!

This was an okay read for me, there is a great story here, but it gets lost a little in the choppy writing and unclear indications as to what is happening at points. Sadie fell pregnant with Antonio’s child after one wild weekend together; he was betrothed to another, and left her after that weekend for his familial duties.

"We have a past…"

Four years on Antonio finds out he is a father, and after two weeks working incognito in the garage Sadie works at as a challenge from an old friend, he is now in a position to make Sadie his and Leo his son, will have a loving, present father, the total opposite of his own.

Lack of communication between these two didn’t help, but the author also had the penchant of having them say one thing then actually do something completely different, and although I understood Sadie’s initial unhappiness, she acted like a bit of a shrew for a lot of the book. This is Mills & Boon so as you would expect Antonio was deliciously take charge with everything, but I didn’t find myself warming to him like I do normally with the men in their books. Leo was cute though and held a lot of the story together to be honest.
