To outsiders, the relationship between Manhattan antiquities assessor Annalisse Drury and sports car magnate Alec Zavos must look carefree and glamorous. In reality, it’s a love affair regularly punctuated by treasure hunting, action-packed adventure, and the occasional dead body.

When Alec schedules an overseas trip to show Annalisse his mother’s birthplace in Bari, Italy, he squeezes in the high-stakes business of divesting his family’s international corporation. But things go terribly wrong as murder makes its familiar reappearance in their lives – and this time it’s Alec’s disgraced former CFO who’s the main suspect.

Accompanied by friend and detective Bill Drake, Annalisse and Alec find themselves embroiled in a behind-closed-doors conspiracy that threatens the reputation and legacy of Alec’s late father – linking him to embezzlement, extortion, and the dirty business of the Sicilian Mafia. The search for the truth sends the trio straight into riddles, secrets, and an historic set of rosary beads. Annalisse leads Alec toward a discovery that is unthinkable, and events that will change their futures forever.

Review By LAWonder10:

Alec is finally going to take Annalisse to visit Italy and his mother’s birthplace. Just before they leave, Alec’s mom, Gen, gives Annalisse a special keepsake and a short tae on whom she received it from. She asked Annalisse to light a candle or the lady and, if possible, try to visit her.

Other events unfold before their flight: a mysterious envelope, a shoplifter, and n infuriating article and accusation in a tabloid. Still, they leave for the long-promised, anticipated getaway trip. Annalisse continues to struggle with a commitment issue, plus missing and looking forward to reuniting with her beloved aunt.

The trip to Italy is nothing like Alec and Annalisse had hoped for or planned. It was far from uneventful but there are more dead bodies and more questions, including Mafia involvement.

Now they are in flight back to New York to escape Italy and find more answers. However, New York offers more shock and danger.

In this fast-paced mystery, thriller and romance publication, the Annalisse series continues in Book #3. Very scary, surprising, new dilemmas open up. Annalisse has new. very real concerns in her relationship with the one man she loves deeply, yet who drives her crazy! She cannot continue in her indecision concerning his marriage proposal but is unsure if she can ever cope with his very complicated, questionable lifestyle.

The characters and very realistic and new provoking ones are added which keeps the dilemmas strongly incorporated into the series. The background scenes are described in a way they are easily visualized. The Title is cleverly created and the Cover Image is attractive but vaguely depicts the story within.

To me, this is a much more enjoyable book than the previous audiobooks because it has only s few words of foul language and is free of explicit sex scenes. However, the writing is still very well done and the content is still captivating. I do tire of Analisse’s indecisiveness.

I offer a Four and a Half Stars rating.

*This book was gifted me with no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review.
