Has the search for her past…
…guided her toward her future?
Gia Bartolini’s determinedly searching for her real father. First stop on the enchanting Italian island of Lapri? A mysterious abandoned mansion…where, rescuing a trapped puppy, she falls straight into the arms of alluring Riccardo Moretti! Her passion for the all-business CEO burns bright, leaving Gia with a question: In uncovering her true roots, has fate led her to true love?
The CEO, the Puppy and Me by Jennifer Faye, is a sweet romance with lots of self-growth for the characters. I was so swept up into the characters’ lives that I found myself crying for them.
Will Gia and Ric figure out the true meaning of family?
Gia
Gia is one of our main characters, and she is grieving for the parents that she lost and the fact that she is not a Bartolini by blood. She sets out to find her biological father to discover who she really is.
Gia is a strong woman; she just needs to finish grieving. I like that Gia can delegate the running of her hotel to the managers that she hired and trust them. Gia is brilliant and uses the abilities that she is good at to make things work. I love how compassionate she is. She puts the life of animals and others before herself. I felt like I connected her on a personal level.
Ric
Ric is our other main character. He has been hurt by those closest to him, and even though he is wealthy and successful, Ric keeps himself isolated and hides his true self. You can tell that he is attracted to Gia from the beginning. He doesn’t believe that his uncle could be Gia’s father and sets out to help her find the truth. Some of that could also be from the puppy kisses. As the puppy Gin, has them both wrapped around his paw.
I like that Ric steps up to take care of the puppy and help Gia. He grows throughout the story. It’s amazing what a little love and respect can do for someone’s attitude.
Five Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the characters, and the setting. The Bartolini family is just incredible. It’s full of strong-minded individuals who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. Gia and Ric are so cute together. I love happy endings. Therefore, I am giving The CEO, the Puppy and Me by Jennifer Faye five stars and yes, I do recommend this book to all you romance readers out there.
