The Woman in the Back Room has everything I love in a romance – slow burn, but still a whole lot of steam, good suspense and a great story!
The Woman in the Back Room has everything I love in a romance – slow burn, but still a whole lot of steam, good suspense and a great story! Santi initially didn’t want to be a part of the “family” business. His high school girl got pregnant and they got married and tried to make a go of it. They had decided they weren’t a good fit and were still living together and cohabiting amicably while waiting to break the news to their son, Avi. But Santi’s wife is gunned down in front of him and he decides it’s time to join the family business.
Alessa was born out of an affair that the head of Morelli family had. She lived with her mother for the first 17 years of her life, but landed on her father’s doorstep when she realized she had to flee life with her mom. Although the family has welcomed her in to their fold, she wants to be fully in on the family business, but as a woman, she feels more of an outsider. The Costa family needs someone to help watch Avi who has the skills necessary to also recognize danger and protect him, and Alessa is the perfect fit for this job.
What follows is a fantastic story as Alessa, Avi and Santi get to know each other. The chemistry between Santi and Alessa is off the charts and I loved watching the slow build of their relationship as they try and fight their attraction, and then especially the times they can’t. Alessa has a way with Avi and their relationship was incredibly heartwarming to read about. This book had it all – I loved the slow build but hot romance, the relationship we see develop with Avi, and the suspense as they try and figure out who the bad guys are and track them down. Another fantastic book from Jessica Gadziala!
I received an Advanced Reader Copy and have voluntarily left an honest review.
