[ShyAnn64 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Angela DeNero's life is a mess. She's just broken up with her fiance, who dumped her for another woman, her small Baltimore law practice is experiencing more than its share of growing pains, her smothering, but well-meaning parents have just announced they are moving to Little Italy to be near her. And to make matters worse, she's just discovered she's pregnant.As if her life wasn't bad enough, Angela has just learned that opposing counsel in the custody proceeding she's handling is John Franco, hometown hunk and cousin to her clients, the Gallaghers. She considers the man a traitor. He considers her a spoiled rich girl from Harvard.

But appearances can be deceiving, as can love, when it's masked in a battle of the sexes that both are ill-prepared for.

[Katie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book had one too many stereotypes, didn't really portray her fear of being pregnant unmarried, and just threw in a man who so desperately wants children. It was a little unbelievable that he fell in love with her from the start. And I have to say her choice in boyfriends was the pits. One gives away private pictures of her, one knocks her up, and then... the last one is a bad boy turned good?

Romance with humor. Two Italian lawyers on opposite sides of custody case.
