Dante seriously underestimates Alessandra when he comes waltzing into her winery to convince her to sell it to him. Alessandra has had her fill of men thinking they can just bulldoze her into selling her family's winery to them, and Dante is no different. Or is he?

Well, he is different in a way. He uses his charm instead and the two fall into a romp that is just casual -- at first. But soon feelings are developing all over the place, even though Dante had made sure she knew it wasn't going to be anything more than some fun. But we all know that casual rarely remains casual, and that's what happens to poor Alessandra. Will the two ever get on the same page or is she destined to have her heart broken?

Whew, Dante and Alessandra are hot together! I felt for them both as they tried to get through to their fathers' hard heads. And I especially felt for Alessandra as she could tell her heart was more into it than Dante's was. Thank God he took his head out of his ass and realized how he was really feeling for the strong woman he found in her. Although this is the first of this author's writing that I've read, after having read and loved Decadent, it most certainly will not be the last.

I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.

Decadent is flawless. Underneath the overpowering attraction and the dangerous lust lies some painful truths. What happens when a business deal becomes a habitual obsession? No one does breathless quite like Alexx Andria.

Alessandra and Dante are both used to getting what they want. Dante wants to purchase her vineyard and Alessandra is not going to let him have her vineyard. These two strike sparks from their first meeting and continue to do so through out the story. The chemistry is sizzling and the verbal foreplay keeps the heat at a high.

While they are both driven and in charge in their work world, their personal lives have them both struggling for the approval of their demanding fathers. Will the needs of their father’s cost them their own dreams?

Alessandra gives as good as she gets from Dante keeping him constantly on his toes. While Dante is trying to put Alessandra off her game by constantly doing the unexpected to try and figure out what makes her tick.

Her relationship with her best friend came across as genuine and very caring. However some of the other secondary characters got a little wearing at times. There were a few parts that drug on for a bit but overall the story had nice pacing and the frustration of trying to make a mark in an old male world read as very authentic.

Decadently Good
I'm strung out! This story has my emotions going in so many directions. I swear there were a couple times, reading how futile Dante felt I almost cried. They both were trying so hard to each win their father's approvals but in the end they needed to do what was right for them. Alessandra and Dante are a sexy, smart power couple but they just need to figure this out. What started as a buying expedition for Dante turned into finding a love he didn't even believe in. Their amazing sexual chemistry was only shadowed by their emotional chemistry. Dante and Alessandra were destined for each other.
