Loving a Santini

I enjoyed revisiting the Santini's. Mando and Sunshine were good together from their very first encounter. The way they were written, they connected with such ease, you could forget they had known each other such a short period of time. That is, until the Santini Curse was mentioned. I appreciated that there was very little angst in this book. This book provided enough steamy scenes to keep most romance readers happy. I also like the way Nando supported Sunshine when things got a little complicated. I admired Sunshine's outlook on life, and the way she handled her newfound situation. I love a strong female character. Melissa Schroeder writes very enjoyable military romances. A fast paced, sexy romance with a few twists. I definitely recommend this book. I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy.

Nando has returned home after his last assignment still feeling the effects of PTSD. Everything that he has tried so far hasn’t worked so when his cousin’s wife suggests that he see if Sunshine, a certified massage therapist and Reiki master, can help he is willing to try. Sunshine is a free spirit who lives life on her terms. She only has two rules that she follows, and they are that she doesn’t mix business with pleasure and military men are strictly off limits, but she hasn’t come across the persuasive power of a Santini yet. Although they may appear very different they are perfect for each other. He is right by her side when she needs support and the chemistry between them is off the charts. It was great to catch up with this wonderful family and I hope that more stories about this family are upcoming.

When a Santini falls in love it is fast, hard and forever, and for Fernando Santini it is no different. Nando just needs some help dealing with some of the effects of the PTSD he is suffering from his last military assignment. His cousin-in-law, Alana, recommends her friend, Sunshine Foster. She’s a certified massage therapist and Reiki master and a bit of a free spirit. Nando’s career for now is the military, and he’s not looking for a “fix up” from his family. Alana assures him he doesn’t need to be concerned about that because Sunshine has 2 hard and fast rules: she never dates clients, and she absolutely never dates military. When they meet though the chemistry is instant, and they soon discover what we all know; when it comes to love rules are made to be broken. This is a wonderful love story. Even though Sunshine is a “free spirit” and Nando is “career military”, they are perfect for each other. There is the right mix of humor, some angst, a dash or two of drama, just enough steamy passion, with a few meddling loved ones thrown in, and lots of love to make this the ideal recipe for romance. I fell in love with Sunshine and Nando as a couple, and I know you will, too. This is another perfect Santini love forever after with a few bumps and a twist or two to keep you engaged from beginning to end. You will find it a hard one to put down, but well worth your time!
