What is wrong meets what feels right in this romance set in Italy by the New York Times bestselling author of Deep End.

Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out her life.

Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him.

It’s such a cliché, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student; brother’s best friend and the girl he never even knew existed. As Conor loves to remind her, the power dynamic is too imbalanced. Any relationship between them would be problematic in too many ways to count, and Maya should just get over him. After all, he has made it clear that he wants her gone from his life.

But not everything is as it seems—and clichés sometimes become plot twists.

When Maya’s brother decides to get married in Taormina, she and Conor end up stuck together in a romantic Sicilian villa for over a week. There, on the beautiful Ionian coast, between ancient ruins, delicious foods, and natural caves, Maya realizes that Conor might be hiding something from her. And as the destination wedding begins to erupt out of control, she decides that a summer fling might be just what she needs—even if it’s a problematic one.

Another solid pick from Ali. I enjoyed the characterization of the characters—it felt like they had strong voices and chemistry. Female narrator was solid and male narrator was good when he was playing Conor.

However, male narrator really struggled with Eli and other male characters who are not supposed to have the same accent as Conor. The voices were so similar I often got confused who was speaking, a dangerous thing with the FMC’s brother and lover sound the same!

Overall, great job and I finished it quickly.

Male narrator struggled

I don’t typically like a romance w a 20 year olds and 35 yr old powerful man but this was done well. The romance had a great build up and the banter was smart. I was almost annoyed by how sweet it was at times.

Great but sometimes too happy
