Synopsis from amazon.com:
When Eve Anderson meets Adamo de Leone
on a ship bound for Europe, she has no idea of the dark secret that
will endanger both their lives. She accompanies him to his home on
Italy’s Amalfi Coast to open an inn left to him by his grandfather.
But then she learns he spent five years in prison for a crime he
claims he didn’t commit. Could the man she loves be responsible for
embezzling eighty million dollars from the investment firm he once
owned?
Adamo wants to hold Eve at arm’s length until he can clear his proud family name. But when there is an attempt on his life and Eve is terrorized by a gun-bearing thug, he realizes how much he wants her, and he must accept whatever help he can get to uncover the well-hidden trail of a six-year-old crime.

My
Review:
Beautiful
cover on this book! There I said it. Sorry, but I had to.
Fortunately, unlike a great many books out there, this cover reflects
what the story is about inside. I just adore the Amalfi coast where
this story takes place. I’m not one for straight romances, but
good ones, great ones always attract my interest, especially romantic
suspense that keep the pages turning. This one did that right away
from the opening scene. Unfortunately, after the first scene, I was
able to guess what would happen next. No surprises there, which
disappointed me greatly. I hate predictable books. That’s the
problem I have with typical romance books. Fortunately, once I delved
into the story after that, I grew to enjoy it, and though, the
character names Adamo and Eve are far from original for a romance,
one disregards that trite fact once the reader delves into the story.
I
found I truly enjoyed Where Lemons Bloom by Blair McDowell and will
be looking for other books by her. If you’re a traveler via
armchair, or your chosen mode of transportation, this book combines
vivid traveling with a romantic suspense. All in all, I highly
recommend this book for any fan of romance, suspense, travel and
mystery. You won’t be disappointed.
