Page Count: 336 pages
Summary: It’s time for twenty-four-year-old Amber MacLean to face the music. After a frivolous six months of backpacking through New Zealand, Australia, and Southeast Asia, she finds herself broke on the Mediterranean without enough money for a plane ticket home to California. There are worse places to be stuck than the gorgeous coastline of southern Italy, but the only job she manages to secure involves teaching English to two of the brattiest children she’s ever met. It doesn’t help that the children are under the care of their brooding older brother, Italian ex-motorcycle racer Desiderio Larosa. Darkly handsome and oh-so-mysterious, Derio tests Amber’s patience and will at every turn—not to mention her hormones. But when her position as teacher turns into one as full-time nanny at the crumbling old villa, Amber finds herself growing closer to the enigmatic recluse and soon has to choose between the safety of her life back in the States and the uncertainty of Derio’s closely guarded heart.

I read the companion novel of this book, Where Sea Meets Sky, and loved it. The book really pulls you into New Zealand and all the places the characters are exploring, and portrays the beauty so well. It definitely had me itching to visit those places myself, so I'm looking forward to seeing how things will work in this one!

This sounds amazing! Being a nanny sounds hard though. :/

The cover is so dreamy sigh. I would really love to visit some of the places named in the summary so it is exciting to know you kind of feel like you're there, along the characters.

Like Mel, I've heard loads of great stuff about Karina Halle! Though for some reason I haven't had the urge to check any of her books out, heh. >< And to be honest, the blurb makes the book sound like pretty much every other NA romance (with the exception of the kids, whose brattiness I have to admit I am curious about), but it's promising that you enjoyed the companion novel. Hopefully this one turns out to be just as great! Also, nothing can go wrong with traveling, right? xD Like Melan, I've heard loads of great stuff about Karina Halle!
