Murder, Mi Amore Kindle Edition

by Cara Marsi (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars (58)
Murder, mystery, intrigue, Italian style

Murder, jewel thieves and terrorists intrude on an American woman's Roman holiday; can she trust the sexy, mysterious Italian man who comes to her aid?

Lexie Cortese is in Rome to forget. The last thing she expects is to meet a sexy Interpol agent who suspects her of being part of a terrorist plot involving a stolen diamond. Suddenly thrust into a world of murders, muggings, and kidnappings, Lexie doesn’t know what to think—or who to believe.

Dominic Brioni’s assignment is simple. Befriend the American and bring her to justice. Only Lexie seems the most unlikely terrorist Dominic has ever met. Sweet, determined, and direct, she faces life with courage and fire, a fire that sparks his protective instincts and a longing for something more—something he allowed himself to hope for only once before.

But that woman betrayed him, and his boss isn’t about to let him forget it. With his career on the line and Lexie in danger, will Dominic learn to trust his heart before they both get killed?

Review

"Action, suspense, hot men and a sweet girl caught in the crossfire. Buckle up, this one gets wild...Enjoy!" The Romance Reviews
"Murder, Mi Amore is an exciting adventure. Top notch romantic suspense" - Siren Book Reviews

From the Author

Every scene in Murder, Mi Amore is authentic, taken from a recent trip to Italy. Even the food Lexie eats is some of the same meals we ate on our trip. The town in Abruzzo where she travels is the same town where my family comes from. Unlike Lexie and Dominic, we didn't have bad guys trying to kill us. I hope you enjoy this trip to Italy with Lexie and Dominic.

    Lexie Cortese is on a mission to forget her troubles, and that leads her to Rome. It's a vacation that has run a little on the mundane side until she's the victim of a purse-snatching.

    Luckily, Lexie's purse is "rescued" by Dominic Brioni--a guy whose sex appeal practically exudes off the page. To say he's HOT doesn't quite do him justice.

    I loved this story! Tons of action, mystery, suspense and romance filled the pages of this fast-paced read. There characters were a delight and the storyline kept me on the edge of my seat. Murder, Mi Amore is a definite must read for lovers or romantic suspense.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, fast-paced tale of intrigue and romance
    Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2013
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    A female American tourist in Rome gets ensnared in a diamond-smuggling scheme that involves international terrorists, and the only person who thinks she might be innocent is the handsome Italian Interpol agent assigned to find out what she knows... even if he has to seduce her to do it. Awesome premise, isn't it?

    This is a fun, fast-paced book, with a good solid story, engaging leads, and a touch of Italy--what's not to like? The writing flows well, and the Italian setting makes for a lovely backdrop to this story of intrigue and suspense.

    I liked Lexie right away and found Dominic intriguing from the minute he showed up. (He makes a great entrance.) They both think the other is someone they're not, so it's fun to see what misconceptions they have and how they slowly come to trust each other, even before they actually know the truth.

    However, there's a wee bit too much internal nattering on both character's parts that gets a bit repetitive--we hear about the same personal demons a time or two too many, so the conflicts start to sound as if the characters were clinging to them as excuses, instead of truly believing them. The villains are a bit one-note, though one of them (Giovanni) does show a glimmer of something deeper when he sweet-talks a secondary character. Additionally, the resolution of Lexie and Dominic's love relationship at the end seems a touch rushed; I think they could have had another scene where they mapped out their possible future, but maybe that was just me.

    Those things aside, "Murder, Mi Amore" is a highly entertaining beach or anytime read that will have you flipping the pages to find out what happens next!

    .
    Lexie Cortse has left Las Vegas and come to Rome to get over the jerk she had been engaged to and reinvent herself into a self assured woman who stands on her own two feet answering to no one but herself. For the first two weeks it is all that and more. Everything changes on the day she decides to splurge on a designer leather hand bag. In the shop she is bumped into by a man who makes her blood run cold with his menacing eyes. After that she feels she is constantly being watched. Then her new purse is snatched when her shopping bag is stolen. The good side is the sexy Italian who chases the mugger down and retrieves her purse, Dominico Brioni. They have a drink and make plans for dinner the following night. When she returns to the hotel the feeling of being watched persist. Her maid comes the room as Lexie is leaving and admires Lexie's old purse so she gives it to her and leaves. Upon returning to her room Lexie finds it ransacked and the burglar still there, running for her life the man pursues her. When the police come they tell her it is common place not to worry. The next day the maid is found dead without her new purse. Again Lexie goes to the police and yet again the brush her off.

    Dominic, an Interpol agent, has been assigned to the beautiful American woman, his mission is to gain her trust and find out where the diamond that was passed off to her will be handed over to the terrorist and when. He can't not see Lexie as a jewel thief and terrorist but she was seen receiving the jewel and fits the description passed on to Interpol. As he grows to know her and hear her story he is sure there is a mistake, but he had been fooled by an innocent act before and his superiors are not buying it. When the danger to Lexie mounts Dominic knows she is innocent and vows to protect no matter the cost.

    There is suspense and intrigue form the very start. Even the reader will question just how innocent Lexie truly is. With well developed characters a few you will love and a few you will hate. A plot that keeps you glued to the story from beginning to end Murder, Mi Amore will lure you in till the very end. My rating is 4 1/2 Stars. A true winner.

    I read all the great reviews and decided to read this one. I'm very disappointed. I found the story okay, it was face paced and her situation changed everyday but her character and the dialog was just cheesy. Her description of the character especially Dominic. It was almost right but not quite there. Could have been so much better.

    In the mood for a vacation in sun-drenched Rome, along with sizzling sex, and plenty of action? Then this book's for you. It holds your attention, from the first page to the last. Cara Marsi does a masterful job of instantly immersing you in the Eternal City, its beauty, its fountains, its piazzas. And its crime. No pushover, Lexie is enjoying her last few days in Rome, determined not to fall victim to some purse-snatcher. Instead, she soon finds herself embroiled with an international crime syndicate, with her very life at stake. And she isn't sure if the jaw-droppingly gorgeous Dominic is on her side or not.
