Take It All Off

This is such a beautifully written story that about Italian and American. Working together, playing together and look what happens. I really like Marco and Abby’s story. She is following her dreams and living life in Florence until she loses her job. He hears her story and hires her. Soon other things start to develop between them. His mother will never approve. The chemistry between the characters is wonder but neither want to give add family drama to the relationship as well as a surprise. Good plot that is nicely developed and well written.

Addy is living her dream by living and working in Florence, even though she is living pay cheque to pay cheque, and when she suddenly loses her job she is in a dilemma on how to pay rent, until her roommate offers her a job in an exclusive strip club. Marco is a successful businessman and billionaire who is a workaholic and family is everything to him. When he is at the club he gets talking to Addy and offers her a job once he finds out her predicament. These two start a relationship but Marco know it is only temporary as his mom will never approve of Addy as she is not Italian. This is a beautifully written story which has drama, a complex plot, and a surprise which all leads to a steamy and captivating page turner. I recommend for all.

Loved this story so much. Addy and Marco were so good together. The connection that they had was strong from the very beginning. Loved watching their relationship unfold into something so wonderful. Their story will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride and I loved every second of it. All I can say is be prepared for the ride of your life. I was sucked in from page 1 and I didn’t it want it to end. Highly recommend this read. You won’t be disappointed.

I read an early review copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Such a beautiful and romantically told story. You will fall in love with Marco while he falls in love with Addy.

Ah! You can always count on Weston Parker to write a book that will take away your troubles for a while. Romance, family, it doesn’t get any better than that. This book is like a tall drink of water you are desperate to consume. Marco’s mother wants him to settle down with a nice Italian woman. What is going to happen when American Addy meets his powerful mother? She won’t approve. So what are they going to do? Marco knows what he wants, and he wants Addy. His mother will just have to accept it. Fabulously written. So heart tuggingly romantic. They are perfect for each other. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I didn’t want it to end.

Adeline Tidwell was brought up by her older brother in the US but she wanted to travel the world so she upped and lefty with his reluctant approval. Don’t get me wrong – they are close and keep in regular contact. But she arrived in Florence, Italy and fell in love. Her best friend and flat mate is Elena and she is from Sicily. When her waitressing job is cut short Addy must find a job and quickly! Elena comes to the ‘rescue’by offering to get her a job in the strip club where she works. Reluctantly she agrees but only to serve drinks and no stripping as it is so well paid! Whilst there she meets am man who will turn her whole life around and his name is Marco Ricci [who has an identical twin Aldo but he doesn’t tell her]. Marco is only there to entertain foreign clients and it is not his scene, but when he sees the attractive curvy waitress who seems unhappy and he starts to chat with her he finds himself intrigued by her as he has not been remotely interested in any woman his whole life. But instead of ‘hitting’ on her, after chatting he realises that she needs a job, she’s intelligent as well as gorgeous and he wants to know her more so he offers her a job! Thus starts their love story. Although their are obstacles in their paths – including his Mama who only wants her ‘boys’ to marry ‘good’ Italian girls! This is a wonderful story by Weston Parker that included such engaging characters [even Aldo who is a bit of a man slut]. The sizzling anticipation between Marco and Adeline is palpable and Weston weaves his storyline that it’s almost as if you can see it all happening before your eyes as his descriptions are so vivid with such 3-dimensional characters and a script that pulled me in right at the start and kept me from putting the book down until I’d finished it as it was compelling and such fun to read! A wonderful book that I really enjoyed and think that you would too. I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. Most definitely recommend.

I have learned that Weston’s books can take my mind everywhere with feelings that only him can add to any story, reason why he is one of my favorite authors.

Take it all off is not an exception, as always he knows how to bring the sexy alpha males that can attract anyone to their feet.
This time, he brought us to Florence, Italy and it couldn’t be any more perfect scenario for a love encounter.
The characters, Addy and Marco, were perfect for each other, the combination of her sassiness and his dry humor made them a perfect match.
The chemistry between them was on point, and without realizing it, the love between them grew until it made it impossible to deny it.
Until an unexpected emergency came up with a surpise no one saw coming that put their love to a test.
Will they fight for their future together? Or will they give up on each other?
Better get the book and find out, you won’t be disappointed.

I loved this read! I loved Addy, she’s got a bit of sass, she’s smart and has this take charge attitude. Marco is drawn to her and I enjoyed their connection and the growth of their relationship. I couldn’t put the book down.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. I loved the story and characters. Marco is a billionaire who took come clients to a strip bar. He discovered Addy working there. It’s her first time working there and she hates it. It shows on her face and Marco decides to talk to her. Seeing how she is and how quick whittled she he then offers her a job. This is the start of everything.

* I received an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review. *
Adaline left her home in America with a plan to travel the world. She loves the city of Florence and has made it her second home. After losing her job she need money for rent and gets a job at a men’s club. She never expected on her first night to be offered a job by a handsome stranger. She will not refuse his offer no matter how attracted to him she is.

Marco did not plan to go the men’s club that night and he never expected to offer the waitress a job. Working side by side with Addy is challenging with how attracted he is to her. One night of passion turns into more. Add an Italian mother and a surprise pregnancy…what could go wrong?

Let me start by saying this is one of the first books I have ever read by Weston Parker. I do not know how I have never seen his name pop up but after looking at his collection it seems I have been missing out. I always love a good billionaire romance. I do think there was missed opportunity with the workplace angle. We see them working together but there is no interaction with other employees. I expected there to be some drama with her sleeping with the boss or at least the suspense of everyone finding out about them. I also would have liked a little more character depth. There is truly only six characters.
While I did enjoy this story and the characters, I prefer my Hero to be more alpha. If you are looking for an easy read with not too much drama this book is for you. I am looking forward to checking out the rest of Mr. Parker’s collection.

You are going to like this book because of the foreign flavor of Italy and the way Addy picks herself up from a difficult situation to set forth on a unique path that makes the most of her personality and intelligence.

You are going to love this book as the tough negotiator/billionaire businessman has his soft heart revealed as he finds he cannot resist what he feels for Addy even if he thinks it won’t work out. You will love what family means to Marco, and what that means for Addy and his mother and how much grace Addy shows under pressure.

One of the really fun characters I hope we get to learn more about some day is Marco’s twin brother, Aldo. (His name kept reminding me of another famous set of Italian twins, Mario and Aldo Andretti.) But for the time being, read this book.
