Not to impressed with this book. I love her other books...but this one was too slow to start and the ending was the best part of the book
I thougth this was a good regency historical romance. Interesting background of the Italian History. The characters were very likeable and the story plausable. However, I thought it ended a little to easily after all the intermediate storyline.
I think it was very good
Betrayal, passion and a love that knows no end.....
I thought that it was a very good book I am not into love stories that much but my Mom got me to read it and I liked it.

Napoleon has fallen and the Austrian Empire sweeps the continent. Dashing revolutionaries, traitors and spies lurk in every quarter in the turbulent Italy of the 1820s.
Italian patriot Angelo Bartolini is a man of many faces: a devoted son and brother, a noble friend and a stalwart nationalist. As a member of the Carbonari, a secret society dedicated to freeing Italy from Austrian rule, Angelo is a wanted man. But as with all great men, Angelo has a tender side, and his spirit awakens the passion of the brilliant but shy English painter, Beatrice Fairweather, who now makes her home in the Tuscan countryside.
The Italian is a compelling story of two people who fall in love at the wrong time for all the right reasons. It is a haunting tale of families and war, of missed opportunities, betrayal, tragedy and of a love that knows no end.

This is the only book I was not able to finish.
