The attraction between Susie and Sergio is apparent from the beginning, and the zany start to the story is quite refreshing.The Real Romero 4* RT Book ReviewWilliams takes readers on a luxurious ride from London to the snow-capped French Alps and, finally, to sunny Spain. Her quaint Brit-isms add legitimacy, but it’s her couple’s entertaining interactions that keep the story interesting.To Sin with the Tycoon 4* RT Book ReviewWilliams’ office romance is a Cinderella-esque tale between her very un-Prince Charming-type hero and her cautiously reserved heroine who’ve both overcome horrendous childhoods.
