There were three things that I wanted in life.

To dance like nobody was watching.
Travel the world.
And fall hopelessly in love.

Heartbreak was never on my list…. but somehow, I got it anyway.

We met at my older brother’s house and instantly I knew that he was trouble.
He kissed me, right there in the bathroom without a care in the world.
And from that moment on, I was his.

We were young, brave and naïve when we met.
Sneaking around and falling in love.
Giuliano Ferrara was perfection.
A beautiful, crazy mistake.
With his big brown eyes and his boyish charm.

But then the world fell apart and things didn’t go as planned.
I never quite forgot him, no matter how hard I tried.
Years later, we saw each other again.
And by the look in his eye, I instantly knew.

The sweet romantic boy I once loved is long gone.
In his place, a dominant, powerful man.
Who gets what he wants, when he wants it.

We can never be together.
It breaks my heart that he refuses to accept it.

I’m the object of his affection.
And what Giuliano Ferrara wants.
Giuliano Ferrara takes.

I’m not sure what it was about this blurb that piqued my interest, but it was not the story. Maybe it was the formatting (with Guiliano’s POV in bold text) but I was immediately turned off. Not to mention, the Italian that was used in the text with the translation in parathesis. This ended up being the perfect storm of things that bugged me that I couldn’t focus on the story and found myself not really caring. I skipped to the end of the book to see if there was anything that might redeem it, but I didn’t find what I needed. DNF’d.
