Sweet, Heartfelt Read
Set in one of my favorite cities, Riviera brings the charm of historical Charleston, SC, alive in vivid color, adding in the excitement of Mother Nature's volatility. This may be a wholesome romance, but there was no lack of surprises and action that had me flying through these pages and reading the book in one sitting.I loved both of these characters. Poor Anastasia has had some rough times, adopting a child, dealing with cancer and getting divorced, and Luciano has his share of hardships but has managed to be extremely successful in business. They get reunited after many years when Anastasia visits her friend, who is also Luciano's sister. The attraction is still there on both sides, and the difference in their age difference no longer matters. But all kinds of things crop up, letting them get only so close before keeping them apart. And don’t let the wholesomeness fool you – there is plenty of chemistry and sparks between these two! In the midst of finally finding their forever together, both of these characters do a lot of learning and growing, better preparing them for a future together. There's a lot of romance, surprises and action in this one to keeping any reader hooked until the last page.*I reviewed this book freely and voluntarily, having made no commitment to provide a review and receiving no compensation of any kind from any source for this review.

Good read
This was a good short read. I was a little disappointed that it was not a full length novel, because the storyline would have supported that easily. But overall, a very good story of an old love rediscovered.

Clean, heartwarming, inspirational romance
I Love You More is a clean, heartwarming, inspirational romance. This beautifully written story is about surviving, international adoption, family and much more. Our heroine survives cancer, a hurricane, and divorce. Faced with a huge decision, she makes the mature one. The characters are all well drawn and personable. The book grabbed my attention in the first chapter and I read straight through.

Okay read (2.75 stars)
An okay read. Relationship resurrection after so many years was a bit too quick, but probably unavoidable in such a short book. Alexandra was often annoying (I've dealt with similar marriage and custody issues, so I'm not unaware of the emotions involved). Luciano seemed to fall in love without much effort in spite of seeming to grieve the death of his first wife. He was surprisingly selfish at times. Some details on medical details, legal issues, and weather probably needed better research. Even the song title was misspelled (Que Sera Sera). Basically a "clean" read, but too many veiled lust references (eg, provocative body, alluring body, etc.)

good story
The characters were well defined and the story plot was good—well paced. The descriptions were just enough to envision the scenes.But, just about all of the characters are self-centered, or at least do something self-centered and mess up someone's day. The four-year-old can be excused, because 4yo. The main characters, though!It all works out because they finally talk, but still.
