I rated this book 3 out of 5 stars. It was slow and hard to get interested at first. I couldnt put what I'd read in the prologue together with what I was reading in the book. I felt a disconnect. But it all came together at the end.

This is the story of an American woman married to an Italian man. They moved to Italy to his home after having a child and marrying. He is away on business more than he's home and she's raising the child alone. She suspects he isnt alone while traveling and is cheating on her but he tells her this is the way it is in Italy, get used to it.

The woman meets her new male American neighbor and they become friends. Friendship develops into more than friendship but with the Italian husband threatening her with taking her son away from her, she tells her new friend she must never see him again. Does it end there? It is a love story. Will it have a happy ever after ending?
