As one of Italy's most powerful businessmen, Romeo Morretti spends his days brokering multimillion-dollar deals and his nights romancing Europe's most beautiful women. But a chance encounter at a busy intersection sends the international playboy's life hurling in a new direction.

About the author
Pamela Yaye
74 books48 followersMy love for reading developed at an early age. My parents, Daniel and Gwendolyn Odidison, were both avid readers and encouraged me to read as much as possible. Trips to the public library were the highlight of my week and by the time I was in junior high I was reading everything from biographies to suspense to True Confession magazines!
I got my big “break” when I was only fourteen-years-old. I read my first poem at my local church and received a standing ovation. Reading my poems and seeing my plays come to life on stage proved to me that I had a God-given talent for the written word.
After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Christian Education, I hugged my family goodbye and boarded a plane for Seoul, South Korea. I loved every minute of living in Seoul. The people, the food, the culture, the shopping. Three years later, I returned home with a fresh outlook on life and a gorgeous fiancé (yay me!) Jean-Claude and I married, settled into our new home and now have an adorable, three-year-old daughter named Aysiah who keeps us very busy.
I penned my first novella while teaching in South Korea and upon the advice of a good friend and colleague I transformed, Other People’s Business, into a full-length novel. I wrote The Trouble With Luv’ soon after. Two years and thirty rejection letters later, I signed with super-agent Sha-Shana Crichton from Crichton and Associates. Six weeks later I had a two-book deal contract with Harlequin’s African-American Romance line, Kimani Press.
Her Kind of Man, and Love T.K.O. were both released in ’08, and this year there are more scintillating stories to come. I’ve written seven books now, but I feel like I’m just getting started! A huge thanks to all of you who attend my book signings, send me I-love-your-book-emails, leave messages on my Facebook page and who are recommending my books to other die-hard romantics. Sage Collins and Marshall Grant will heat things up in Games of the Heart (August 2009) and a feisty PR Director and a fine, ex-NFL running back rekindle the flames in Passion Overtime (November 2009). Read an excerpt of my novels under the heading Books.
If you enjoy a good romance story, rich with desire, scorching HOT love scenes and a few unexpected twists and turns along the way, you’ve come to the right place. Grab one of my books, recline in a comfy chair and enjoy the ride! I guarantee you’ll love the heroes and heroines featured in my stories. They’re strong but flawed men and women who are just looking for a little love and tenderness! That’s all for now, friends.
Happy Reading and be blessed!

July 18, 2018Zoe Smith is a Trinidadian-American woman living in Milan and forging herself an amazing career in fashion house PR. (Also, she's awesome and a joy to read in general: smart, creative, funny, enthusiastic, and kind.) Her path crosses (literally, in the form of a car-meets-bike accident) with playboy Italian millionaire Romeo Morretti, and romance and love ensue. :)
This was immensely enjoyable and comfortably stand-alone; I've only read one other earlier book in this continuity, and I didn't feel lost even in scenes with other family members who had their own earlier books and romances. I loved the characters, I enjoyed the details of their world--food and music and fashion, not to mention just the fashion house work environment which seemed anxiously toxic at some moments and comfortably supportive at others. Yaye was great at depicting Zoe's and Romeo's connection, their hesitation (okay, Zoe's hesitation), and their chemistry.
The book could have used another pass by a copyeditor, and I thought the final black moment was too cliched and conventional--I didn't buy that Romeo would so solidly believe the worst of Zoe--and that part felt half-hearted and obligatory, but overall, I really liked this.

Where's the Rest?
Argh! Your book series is too good to end on yet another cliffhanger! Honestly, I was expecting some big, bad evil villian to be revealed as the true reason for the Morretti trials and tribulations. Instead, it's just life being its usual self. Oh well.
I'll tell you how obsessed with these books I've gotten. I woke up this morning at 2:30 and NEEDED to start book 8. I figured I'd read a chapter or two and go back to bed. The next thing I knew, my five o'clock alarm was going off and I was just starting chapter 12! Your writing is just that good. I know that you probably hear that all the time, but it bears repeating. Take care!
See ya next book😀

I enjoyed Romeo and Zoe's love story! These Morretti men go after the women of their dreams regardless of any hurdles they may have to jump over! Romeo's secret health scare became known in the public and he thought his current lady love was to blame. She showed him once and for all that betrayal was not an option for her! I loved Zoe's demeanor and determination to win back the love of her life. Awesome read!

Trust and honesty
I just love reading about The Morretti Family. This a great book and loved how Zoe and Romeo love story began. True love is effortless, you just have to let it take its course.

I Love those Morretti men. Romeo is definitely a playboy, but meeting Zoe has taken his thoughts in a different direction - love and marriage.
