SYNOPSIS
*** This novel is intended for those over 18 years of age, due to mature content.
Life is full of choices... paths, if you will. Vincenza Lombardi's life has been carefully planned out and orchestrated by her wealthy and powerful family. Nothing but the best for their "Baby V". The best prep schools, the finest finishing schools, and the top girls-only university in the nation.
As the only daughter, she has been protected and shielded by her three older brothers from anything unsavory that could possibly compromise their pride and joy.
Every decision, every move, has been to prepare Baby V for the role she was born for.
But Vincenza, or "V", has other plans. Home for one last summer before she embarks on her secret life plans, she's determined to forge her own way, on her own, separate from her impressive but constricting family legacy. As if three older brothers aren't enough to stand in her way, V also has to deal with Dom DiBenedetto.
The Dibenedetto and Lombardi families had grown their fortunes together, raised their families closely and run one of the most successful importing business in the world. As CEO, Dom is used to running things his way and getting what he wants. As the head of his family, Dom takes his role seriously... ensuring the future and security of his employees and his loved ones. Unbeknownst to her, V plays a critical role in those plans, but will they fit in with the life she see's for herself?
REVIEW:
As always Tara has created a dominant, Alpha Male, but she has also created a female character who isn't afraid to stand her ground. I loved V's voice. It was unique, strong and just really amusing.
Baby V brought to mind feelings I've felt before and probably will feel again, and honestly it made me feel all nostalgic. And maybe that's really not something that people enjoy, but I really did.
It was also interesting to only have V's perspective really. You had to learn about characters through a biased view and it definitely gives some interesting descriptions.
Overall, the plot, characters and the realistic ups and downs made for a marvelous reading experience. Tara Oakes has really done it yet again.
