One look and Alessandro knew that Isabella was meant to be his wife. He couldn’t explain it, but he’d prove it. Possessive and hungry for her, he’d do anything and destroy anyone that got in his way.

Looking for a connection to her roots after her parents’ death, Isabella vacationed in Italy. She never expected to be swept off her feet by a powerful man ready to create their own roots with her. Could she trust him? Could he convince her of his devotion?

A short and super steamy read. Totally safe and sweet. Loved this couple, loved the sweet epilogue. Both hero and heroine are virgins, no cheating, tiny angst because heroine thinks another woman is pregnant with hero's baby. Loved the epilogue with their baby boy and pregnant heroine.

Very well done. Bravo.
This Obsessed Alpha series is packed full of fantastic stories. If you haven't grabbed them up yet, I recommend doing so.

Okay read. Insta-love / Insta-lust. Aaaand dual virgin 😉

Isabella (19) is in Italy to know more about her Italian roots but she was left by their tour bus and walked around for some time thinking they would call her. Then Alessandro saw her and ordered his men to follow her. After knowing she was all alone, he approached her and that was how their story started.

Overall, this is an okay read. I think the running theme in this series is older men and younger women. All of the FMCs I read were 18/19 and I bet the men are in their thirties, though there was only one book where the age of the MMC was mentioned. Aside from the age gap there's also the breeding kink.

Still, I enjoyed some parts of it, and this is still good to pass some time even with the ridiculous plot. 😅

Short sweet novella with some steam.

Isabella is vacationing in Italy and enjoying the sites but she lost her tour guide and is wondering around alone. And for that she caught the eye of Alessandro who has been watching his woman. Like all these men hes super alpha and ready to take care of her. Date check until he brings her back to her hotel and her things are stolen. More reason to keep her close. As for Isabella she's enjoying this fun romance thinking it's a fling even if Alessandro has said many times shes his.

Beside the romance we have tiny drama with a kidnapping and some woman causing problems but it doesnt last long Alessandro makes sure its set straight.

No om drama tiny ow drama, no cheating, tiny drama, sexy times, both virgins

Recommend -yes/maybe

First things first; I really like the cover of this book!
Alessandro is book six in the obsessed alpha series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Isabella is on vacation in Italy when she meets Alessandro. Alessandro wants Isabella as soon as he sees her. Will they get a chance at love?
The chemistry between Alessandro and Isabella is clear to see and I liked them together.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Loved Alessandro and Isabella's insta love story. While on vacation to Italy Isabella thinks about cutting her trip short, that's until Alessandro steps in to help the lost tourist. With one look at Isabella he knew that she was the woman meant for him. With her personal tour guide Alessandro shows Isabella all the reasons she should stay with him. Who wouldn't want to spend forever with an OTT alpha that would do anything to protect the woman he loves.

Isabella has traveled to Naples to get in touch with her heritage and feel closer to her parents. They are gone now, she has no one. When her tour abandons her, a handsome stranger steps in to help. Alessandro is completely smitten when he sees Isabella all alone. He immediately offers his help so she can get back to her hotel. Fate has brought them together and Alessandro will do whatever it takes to win Isabella's heart and soul. This was so hot and intense, I couldn't put it down. Quick and safe, it still gave me all the feels and a wonderful glimpse of what Italy is like. 4 stars

So Mrs Steele what can I say?

So if I’m stranded at a museum I hope I have a handsome man like Alessandro come to my rescue.

Bella and Alessandro oh my! Just a sexy quick read that leaves you wanting more and more.

The passion, and the alpha ness had me glued to the book from the start.

Isabella is in Italy to explore her family roots, having lost her parents recently she is still grieving. During a tour of some ruins she gets separated from her group, she walks around the square seeing if she can find the group. Alessandro is watching her and is immediately in love. He approaches her and winds up having dinner with her. Later when escorting her back to her hotel they discover she has been robbed. Conveniently Alessandro owns the hotel so he takes her to the owners suite. Drama with an attempted kidnapping of Isabella and another woman claiming to be Alessandro’s discarded baby mama. He chases her down and proves it’s all lies. Dual virgins was a plus. Several epilogues with a happily ever after and babies.

While finding her roots, she found her forever!

Isabella took a trip to Italy after her parents were killed in a car accident. She went there hoping to maybe find her roots, instead she got distracted and ended up getting lost at a museum when her tour group left her behind. While trying to decide how to get back to her hotel she runs into Alessandro and he has decided he wants to keep her forever. This is a wonderful possessive alpha male romance that will have you panting for more!!!!

Isabella is taking a vacation in Naples after losing her parents tragically a year before. When she gets lost after losing her tour guide, she runs into Alessandro. Alessandro saw Isabella and was instantly obsessed. He found his wife-to-be and now he just had to convince her that he is her One😉. Instalove, age gap, steamy romantic , sweet and totally safe (dual virgins- my kryptonite 🥰) with a sweet HEA 😍 😍😍

Alessandro

I knew it had to be someone from the tour group who robbed Isabella. She didn't go anywhere but with them and the fact that no-one answered when she called, made it even more suspicious. I loved how protective of Isabella Alessandro was from the start. Such a caveman, I see, I take and I conquer.

One hot Italian

Omg loved this. Allessandro saw Isabella and knew he had to have her and keep her safe and with him. it wasn’t a smooth road between her hotel room being broken into then kidnapped but only for short time then her running away from him he would do what ever to show she belonged with him.

Just how I hoped it would be

I read killer abs before reading this book and had to see how this couple met because just the tease of them was so wonderful. Having been misplaced during a tour she is wondering Italy alone when Alessandro catches sight of her and immediately knows she belongs to him. She feels it too but someone always wants to come in the way of love

Alessandro such an Alpha

This was such a sweet Alpha story. I read Killer Abs first and was itching to read Alessandro’s story. The chemistry between him and Isabella is so strong and easy to fall into.

My only issue was the lack of editing/proofreading, it too me away from the ease and flow of the story.

Other than this one issue, I truly did enjoy this insta-love story.

Alessandro knew he had to have Isbella before he knew who she was she made him feel things he never had before.
Her hotel was robbed so he took her to his hotel suite that he owned.
He saved her and wanted to make her happy and his wife she didnt know if that was what she wanted until after she got kidnapped then she knew he was her hero.

A visit to remember

Isabella finds love in Italy while Recovering from her parents death. Alesandro see Isabella and knows she is his. As usual CM Steele writes an awesome book with a jealous alpha male who would do anything to keep his love with him forever.
