What is wrong meets what feels right in this romance set in Italy by the New York Times bestselling author of Deep End. Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out her life. Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him. It’s such a cliché, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student; brother’s best friend and the girl he never even knew existed. As Conor loves to remind her, the power dynamic is too imbalanced. Any relationship between them would be problematic in too many ways to count, and Maya should just get over him. After all, he has made it clear that he wants her gone from his life. But not everything is as it seems—and clichés sometimes become plot twists. When Maya’s brother decides to get married in Taormina, she and Conor end up stuck together in a romantic Sicilian villa for over a week. There, on the beautiful Ionian coast, between ancient ruins, delicious foods, and natural caves, Maya realizes that Conor might be hiding something from her. And as the destination wedding begins to erupt out of control, she decides that a summer fling might be just what she needs—even if it’s a problematic one.

Reviewed by Rey⭐️After such a long time, I finally read a romance novel again, and I loved it. It was incredibly funny, and Maya was such a queen. It took Conor way too long to get a fucking grip... I loved the friendships between the characters, and it felt so good to laugh and feel so much while reading. I was totally hooked.
Reviewed by THUESSYDer Schreibstil hat mich anfangs leicht irritiert, aber ich kann nicht genau sagen, was mich gestört hat. Es hat einfach nicht so easy geflowed🫣 der plot ist ganz süss und spicy irgendwann dann geworden?? an sich solide
Reviewed by Marc Problematic Summer Romance war meiner Meinung echt gut, da es ein super Setting war. Wer träumt denn bitte nicht von einer italienischen Hochzeit im engsten Kreis? Aber es gab trotzdem kleine Sachen die mich störten. Z.B. Connor, der sich anscheinend zu keiner Frau richtig öffnen kann, auch zu Maya nicht. Aber kurz vor der Hochzeit, dann auf einmal komplett?? Ich erkenne den Slow burn dahinter, aber das ist dann bisschen zu schnell zu hoch gebrannt. Ich halte nicht viel von Spice, deswegen kann ich den nicht beschreiben. Aber dieses „He can touch her, but she cant touch him“ finde ich einfach nur nervig! Das macht doch keinen guten Eindruck auf Connor, wenn er Maya zum Orgas… bring, sie dann einschläft und er währenddessen verschwindet, 2x!!! Generell ist das Buch aber sehr gut geschrieben und macht Spaß zu lesen. Es war mein erstes Buch von Ali Hazelwood und wird auch nicht das letzte sein.
Reviewed by EmmiThis was one of these books where you just can’t stop reading, even if it’s just nonsense and just side information, you just suck it all up. The tension, the longing, Conor, Maya , the whole story and everything around it was just perfect. So so perfect.
