Mia moves to Italy, despite Alessandro waving more red flags than a Soviet Russian. Alessandro finds himself shocked when his intentional plans to push Mia away actually pushes her away. Also, we've reached the end of the book and realized that there is nothing Christmas related in this story despite it being part of the "Italian Christmas" series

Alessandro and Mia hook up after a night of "passion"...as in, he coerced her to be his date at a charity function and embarrassed her in front of colleagues, then they hooked up in his office when she needed help unzipping her dress. He only thrust in her three times and she immediately got pregnant. Also, Alessandro keeps describing himself as a logical person who "doesn't do emotions," yet continues to get infuriated whenever Mia acts like a professional, agrees with him, and doesn't react emotionally to his abusive behavior.

It wouldn't be a cringy romance novel without...a SHOPPING MONTAGE! Alessandro's first order of business, as the new savior of Dillard Investments, is to force his assistant into a 5 hour fashion makeover against her will. Later, he takes her to a charity ball and introduces her to everyone there even though she's been working with those people for many years.

WE'RE BACK, BAYBEEE!

IIt's time for the annual Italian Christmas special! This is the second story in "The Italian's Christmas" trilogy; a series of 3 books all about sexy Italian men at Christmas. Last year, we read "The Italian's Christmas Housekeeper," a story about an English housekeeper who got pregnant with an Italian billionaire after a one-night stand despite literally using up an entire box of condoms. This year, our story is about Mia James, an executive assistant who, you guessed it, gets pregnant after a one-night stand with an Italian billionaire. As our guest stars Vittorio Leonardi and Alex Byrne put it, "This story is like someone put Tumblr through an AI-book generator and sold it to Easons."

Paulelica then tries to establish boundaries with Lucian, and it goes exactly as you'd predict. Betsy and Paul try to come up with more were-creatures
