Honeymoon Blues

Rate this book
After being so cruelly dumped by her fiancé weeks before their Valentines Day wedding, Ava Ramirez could be forgiven for going on honeymoon alone, in the hope of finding herself again.

Visiting Verona, the last thing she expected was to fall in love.

Falling for Nico Cazale, the devastatingly handsome and rich son of a hotel magnate, a man every woman wants, has its fair share of heartache.
When her insecurities resurface, leading Ava to believe that she isn't good enough, or enough, for Nico, she rushes back home to Denver and tries to forget she ever laid eyes on hm.

But a shattering turn of events pulls her back to Italy.

Are second chances possible? Or is Ava destined to keep her secret from Nico forever?

This is the 3rd book in the series and was more satisfying as with the epilogue tying up several loose ends. I love the characters even while finding as frustrating as ever because they make assumptions about the other's intent and then fail to clarify what's actually going on. There was a lot more angst in this book, tears, troubles, Even though it ended well for Ava and Nico, there were still loose ends. So I bought the 4th one and read it in one day!

I received this book as requested. In return I'm delivering on the promise of a honest review.
All that I can say is wow. I loved this book as much as Honeymoon For One And Three. The constant on at the edge of my seat anticipated moments of when Ava and Nico would come to their senses and of course the tears jerking moments. A Beautiful and Amazing Story.

Beautiful

Once again I felt transported back to Italy. There were a rollercoaster of emotions and i felt like a third person in Ava and Nico's relationship often telling them off for not saying how they fe!t about each other sooner. They finally got together after a few obstacles and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

O Denver Will Ava and Nico make a life for themselves?

She sees things, thinks the worst and runs. Once getting back to Denver, she begins to question things. Her inventory sells out and she needs to replenish, so back to Italy, Nico and her/his craziness make for a great read.

Read and enjoy.

Of the 3 books in the series, "Honeymoon Blues," by far was the book with the most drama and tension. I love Ava and Nico's story! I love all the twists and turns. Each twist is a little expected and predictable, but I enjoy a little predictability. I'm looking forward to more of Ava and Nico and all the other characters you love to read about in the series.

Enjoyed this so much - although I had quite a few times of mind splitting frustration with how the two would just jump to conclusions it drove me crazy. And Connor calling at that exact moment UGH! All in all really enjoyed the outcome.

Great love story

The book's peaks kept you intrigued to read more just to see how things would turn out. I enjoyed reading although it would have been nice for Elsa and Edmondo to have a blissful relationship,only part I didn't like.

Get Your Tissues Ready!

Even though I love Nico & Ava, my favorite couple was Edmundo & Elsa. I wanted to see how their friendship would blossom. I was really shocked and sadden by the turn of events.

Another home run

Can I just say I got so invested that I actually got angry and cursed at the characters near the end! I was a little into it! Lol I won’t spoil anything, but ugh! Lots of angst! Lol

Thought this was a really great book. It got a bit frustrating when the two of them keep constantly making assumptions and not talking but other than that, a great read.

Okay, you really should read the first two books in this series to gather the understanding of where this tale begins. Although, each book, a recap of previous events occurs when the story requires it.
She is home in Denver, after fleeing Italy, after a shocker of a day. He is in Italy, trying to do his daily grind, wondering what went on, to have the girl he had feelings for, having fled without an explanation, but on the same flight as her ex-fiancee.
Complicated, it's just getting interesting!

The story of Ava and Nico continues. This is book 3 in The Honeymoon Series and I'm still hooked on the saga. It's just the two of them need to up their communication skills, wow. Or just try communicating instead of jumping to conclusions, but it does add to the storyline this way.
So I'm now going to read book 4, anyone else still with me?

This book was like a train wreck you couldn’t look away from. Both characters made me roll my eyes every other chapter. 3 books is enough!

Trouble owning the rightful place in a person’s life. Huge aversions and mix-ups, and an ultimate point to accept facing requirement for the future.

OK, so the series has five books, not three, and I seem to own them all, so starting book 4.

Please look at my reviews for books one and two to get a feel for how this book three struck me.

Yo begin to wonder about the maturity of the dumped fiancee by this third in the series, but as my husband says "even a blind squirrel finds an occasional nut."
