WANTED: Love of my Life
Angela's life pretty much sucked until she met Giacomo. Tall, dark and handsome, he would be everything she could wish for - if he weren't a penniless and homeless illegal Italian immigrant who happens to be four years her senior.
Or is he? Penniless and homeless, that is. The truth that slowly unravels seems to be far more sinister and bloody. Suffice it to say that Angela doesn't exactly look forward to meeting his family, especially his godfather...
Follow Angela on her journey as she struggles to find her place in a world beyond her wildest dreams - and nightmares.

About the author
Robert Thier
24 books4,659 followersRobert Thier is a German historian, lover of old books and award-winning writer, whose novels and stories encompass the historical, satirical, and fantastical. For the way he manages to make the past come alive, as if he himself lived as a medieval knight, his inventive fans have given him the nickname “Sir Rob.” All of his stories are characterized by his very own brand of humor that has gained him a diverse readership ranging from teenagers to retired grandmothers.
For Robert, becoming a writer followed naturally from his interest in history. “In Germany,” he says, “we use the same word for story and history. And I've always loved the one as much as the other. Becoming a storyteller, a writer, is what I've always wanted.”
Besides writing and researching in dusty old archives, on the lookout for a mystery to put into his next story, Robert enjoys classical music and long walks in the country. The helmet you see in the picture he does not wear because he is a cycling enthusiast, but to protect his literary skull in which a bone has been missing from birth. Robert lives in the south of Germany in a small village between the three Emperor Mountains.

And Rob Thier does it again.
This was so so so lovely I want to take it and cuddle it.
A lot of people complain because the heroine was very young, 14 to the hero's 18 years old. But you have to take into consideration that he is as innocent as her, he hasn't even kissed a girl in his life. I know, unbelievable for such an amazing guy, but there you go.
And in the big scheme of things 4 years it's not that much. Think 18-22 or 20-24 it is really not a problem. They will eventually grow up, ya' know.
I would absolutely love to read a book about them when they are older and see how that young love transformed into a more mature one.
I loved their love story. Can't help it, Sir Rob has a way with words that just make you read and not stop and want more.
Thank you so much for this gem.

Although I liked the book--it was well written and the main characters were likable----I still found myself wishing she were 16 or older, not 14 years old. He was 18 years old. But it still felt forbidden, a fact acknowledged by Giacomo. It felt wrong. I kept thinking that it would be a first crush by a young girl and that he would let her down easy, and that they would part ways until maybe they meet years later, when it's ok to fall in love. But I guess that would have been too cliche. But Sir Rob is, as always, tasteful. And it never crossed the line, simply nudged it a little. And maybe that is the point. To create an uncomfortable tension in the reader. And I am uncomfortable. And yet I can't help liking Giacomo. I know he is a good guy, That he loves her and will protect her. And I learned to trust him. Enough said.

Out of all ur books i Love this the most and is sadden by not having another book.
I don't mind their age in the story as it makes the story so much real. (14 year olds can do this too people, just because it is unlikely doesn't mean that this makes it a bad story)
I will be waiting for the day you will be inspired to continue their story.

well written book...the only drawback i find is the girl is too young to go through all that to actually find true love at such a young age and to leave everything for it...other than that i would love a sequel for it.....it leaves me wondering what is gonna happen next...a great book ..do read it!
