GELATO SURPRISE By : Sadira Stone
The Plot : She came to the beach to find herself — and found him .
Forty-two-year-old divorcée Danielle Peters ends up alone on her family ’ s annual beach vacation . Maybe time to herself is exactly what she needs . That and gelato from her favorite ice cream shop . But when the owner ’ s intoxicating young nephew offers more than sweet treats , she ’ s tempted to indulge in a hot summer fling before returning home .
Thirty-one-year-old Matteo Verducci craved a fresh start to mend his broken heart , and he ’ s found almost perfection in Ocean View , where he scoops gelato by day and crafts furniture by night . But when a sexy older woman stops to sample his wares — Mamma mia ! He only has two weeks to convince her their passion is more than a delicious surprise . ***** Bookbub Review by Cadence Vonn : “ If you want a great beach read , that will singe your e-reader , and has an HEA , pick up Gelato Surprise .”
An Excerpt
His glossy eyebrows flicked up , a flirtatious salute . “ Welcome to Paradiso , signora . Tell me , how can I serve you today ?” With his ice cream scoop , he waved toward the Italian ices . “ Something tart to soothe the heat ? Limone or mandarino ? Or perhaps something richer .” He leaned onto the glass case and rested his perfect cleft chin on his fist . “ Cioccolato fondente ? Zabaglione ? Tiramisu ?” Rolling off his tongue , the words sounded far more like seductive foreplay than dessert options .
She swallowed hard , took a step back , and tugged her collar away from her suddenly sweaty chest . “ Uh — so many choices . I can ’ t decide .”
His teasing smile widened , slow and sure . “ Then place yourself in my hands . Just tell me how many scoops and let me surprise you .”
She was helpless to resist . “ Okay . You choose . Two scoops , please .” She cleared her throat and found a bit of courage . “ I place myself in your expert hands .”
