A Bride Worth Millions by Chantelle ShawMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A Bride Worth Millions by Chantelle Shaw, Athena‘s story is the 2nd book in The Howard Sisters series but can be read as a standalone. The 1st book, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... is Lexi, Athena’s sister’s story.
I so much loved Athena’s book. It was such an emotional and passionate story and I adored the two mc’s…namely Athena and Luca de Rossi. There were some dark elements in the story, which added a lot of secrets and sad moments to the story – sexual abuse and Rett Syndrome, which I had never heard about and actually learnt a lot about it on Google.
Athena and Luca literally fall into each other’s arms, when she falls from a window whilst escaping from her wedding to marry the man she has just discovered is not in love with her, into Luca’s arms, who had been attending the wedding.
Two people who agree to a marriage of convenience that slowly grows into much more.
Athena and Luca were two characters that just pulled at my heartstrings from the very beginning. Both had been through so many heartache and pain in their lives and I adored the way the two were able to help each other in finding happiness in their lives together.
Luca was one of the heroes that totally grabbed me! The love and dedication he shows towards his daughter, the tenderness and thoughtfulness with Athena is astonishing. I felt so much for him.
I loved the chemistry between Athena and Luca….had a smile on my face when Athena climbs over one of the villa’s wall because she wants to know if Luca is keeping one or even two mistresses in secret!!!! Yet again, she falls into Luca’s waiting arms. Damn sweet!!!!
I would have given this book a 5 star rating…but I was beside myself with the epilogue!!! (view spoiler)
This is one of those books that have to be read if you like a romantic and heartfelt love story.
