Anthony and Charlotte spend one night together in Italy and later that night Charlotte leaves. 2 years later Anthony finds her again and he discovers their one night resulted in a beautiful baby boy.

I loved Anthony and Charlotte. I loved their 15 year age difference. Fast, sweet and super steamy read. The ending was a bit confusing. Did they have 5 or 8 kids? Safe: no cheating and heroine is a virgin.

We met these two.. i think in a kiss book. I can't remember since its been awhile.

Charlee is on a school trip when she first meets Anthony and right away she knew he was the one to have a wild night with. Fast forward 2 years later Anthony is headed to a small town to check out how his sister is doing and getting info on his PI. And little did he know his woman was in this town but he has a surprise for him. ;)

This one was pretty much fast pace and fluff no drama at all between the couple since well it was suppose to be a one night turned into BOOM!!

No ow/om drama, no cheating, sexy times, no virgins (she was in the prologue but didn't show)

Recommend- maybe

This is the first book in The Gallucci’s Series by KL Fast. This was a quick story with an OTT possessive H and insta-love that reminded me of AR and CM Steele. Charlee is 17 years old, she’s a senior in high school from a small town in Texas. She’s on a school trip to Italy when she meets Anthony and decides it’s time to get her V-card punched.
FAST FORWARD TWO YEARS :
Anthony Gallucci is 34 years old, he’s the oldest of six kids and he has very loving parents. Two years ago he was in Italy and he spent the most amazing night with a woman who left in the middle of the night taking his heart with her. He’s been searching for her ever since, never giving up hope that he’ll find her. Imagine his surprise when his mom sends him to Kissing Junction, Texas to check on his sister and he finds his heart. Three things that bothered me about this book are - Anthony’s little sister is younger than twenty two yet she’s the head chef at an upscale restaurant ? How does Charlee know Anthony’s parents ? It’s never explained. Charlee earns her bachelors degree before she’s twenty ?


“ You don’t get to come until Daddy says you do ; do you understand baby girl ?”

Holy mother of cock, I swear to God I almost come right there. It might make me a freak, but I fucking love when he said that. I so badly want to be his naughty little girl and it’s fucking sexy as hell when he takes charge.

“ Now be a good girl and stay still while Daddy finger-fucks this tight pussy of yours until your sweet pussy cream drenches my fingers. “
“ Yes, Daddy. “
“ Good girl. “

This was a very quick and enjoyable story! I liked both characters very much. There is a little bit of daddy talk which I’m not a huge fan of but it isn’t OTT. I did feel a bit lost when Charlee met Anthony’s parents I wasn’t sure I missed something on how they knew each other. But overall a very enjoyable and sexy read, definitely what you expect from KL Fast!
Safety
Completely safe! No op drama at all, no abuse. A little bit of daddy talk.

Loved it!

Kind of a different spin with the time separation, I think it worked well. This is a very quick, insta-love read. Perfect for Valentine’s Day.

**3.5 Stars**

Charlee (Charlotte) was in Italy on a school trip and enjoyed every minute of it, but none more than after meeting the sexy Anthony who seemed just as taken by her. Unfortunately, she has to get back to her hotel as the chaperone has discovered she's missing and she and Anthony hadn't exchanged contact information.

Fast forward just under two years and she and Anthony are both missing the other, wishing things hadn't ended the way they did; well, not at all, actually. He even has a PI trying to find her, but it's a surprise visit to his sister's new bakery that reunites them...and introduces him to the son they created.

Charlee she could've told Anthony about their son, but she had no way to tell him. She can only hope when fate brings them together again that he understands and forgives her. And loves her as she does him.

How quickly will Anthony tie Charlee and their son to him permanently? What will his family say? What about hers? Is a HEA possible? Is their another in store for her brother and his sister?

One-click now and follow along as soulmates are reunited.

Anthony is book one in the ‘’A Gallucci family’’ novella series. This story is short, fast paced and sweet. I devoured this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. We first met Charlee in chocolate kisses (a book in the kissing junction) series. Charlee is a single mother and in the end of chocolate kisses, we saw her find her baby daddy. Anthony and Charlee met in Italy whilst she was on a school trip. The attraction between them was instant and they soon found themselves spending the night together. Having to leave was hard for Charlee but she didn’t have a choice. What she didn’t expect was to be left with a precious gift from the man she fell for. Anthony knows Charlee is the woman for him. He has been looking for her for two years. The last thing he expects is to find her in his sister’s new bakery, an hour and a half away from where he lives. From the moment Anthony gets Charlee back, he is makes it known that he isn’t letting her go again.
The chemistry between Anthony and Charlee was clear to see and I loved them as a couple. I really liked that Anthony wasn’t angry with Charlee about baby AJ. Baby AJ is adorable! I loved how smart he was. He was so damn cute!
I also loved that Charlee knew Anthony’s parents and loved them. I liked how accepting the Gallucci family were of Charlee and AJ. The epilogue/so many years later part of this story was sweet. I liked that Anthony and Charlee were so happy together.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books in this series.

Charlee has always played it safe. When she goes on a trip to Italy with her class, she decides to do something wild. When a dark eyed Italian man named Anthony invites her to dinner, she says yes. After a night together, Anthony awakens to an empty bed except for a necklace spelling out her name. Two years later, he is still searching for her, his Amore. Charlee has waited and hoped that someday she would find the man that she fell for in one night. When they are reunited, nothing will keep them apart.

K.L. Fast is the author that will hook you up if you are looking for quick and dirty novellas filled with instalove and possessive heroes. Anthony was everything I hoped for when she announced this book. Charlee is as sweet as you would expect and that along with her strength got her through when she missed Anthony over the two years apart. He immediately makes up for lost time and it is so adorable. It shows how much he loves her. I flew through Anthony and at the same time didn't want it to end. 6 stars for Anthony!

Super sexy book

The long awaited Gallucci Family series is here!!! The series starts with Anthony whom we met in the Kissing Junction series. I had been itching to get this book in my hands since the day I read the other book where I saw something fishy in the making.

What came out was a quick, sexy, novella that was 🔥🔥. The heat between Anthony and Charlee was off the charts, and how couldn't it be, it was 2 years in the making. The story of a chance encounter in Italy that left some unexpected consequences.

Lost loves meant to be

Anthony & Charlee had one amazing night together before she slipped away without exchanging information. Two years later they bump into each other & the sparks are still there, each pining for each other while they were apart. This was a great, hot & steamy insta-love read!

This was a sweet sexy read about Anthony and Charlee. Their love and commitment to each other was truly beautiful. I couldn't stop reading until I finished this amazing sexy cute story. Anthony was the perfect combo of possessive, protective, tenderhearted, loving and caring growly Alpha. Loved this start to an awesome new series and I can't wait to read more about the other siblings.

Sweet

This was such a good short story to read. I loved the characters and their insta-love. It was sweet that they lost each other years ago but when they found each other they didn't loose a beat in living each other more. I like this author and can't wait to read more from her.

Anthony

Wow such a small world. Anthony has been searching for Charlotte for two years and all along she has been right where his sister was living. I would never paid that private investigator another dime, he is a fraud lol. even his parents knew her, although without taking a closer look they never even knew the baby millennia much like them.
