An Adventure with a Playboy

I don't know where to begin with The Playboy of Rome, because there is a lot in this story. I guess I should highlight some of the points of the story. We have Lizzie and she has come to Italy to work with Dante's grandfather, but Massimo ended up having a stroke and needed to the family vineyard. However, he didn't tell his grandson that he was suppose to work with Lizzie. When Lizzie shows up he confuses her for extra help. Now these two feels this pull towards one another, but neither one of them wants to act on. They each has their personal reason why they shouldn't. Dante believes that his family is curse when it comes to love, so you could understand why he doesn't want to fall in love. Poor guy, was given bad info when it comes to love. Fortunately, that is all fixed by the end of the story. Now Lizzie grew up feeling unloved, because enter the foster care at young age and believed her mother would come get her. Instead was let down time and time again, so you could see why she wouldn't want to enter into a relationship and end up broken hearted.

Now that's out in the open. I loved The Playboy of Rome, because we have two people that have been influence by the people in there lives and both afraid to let anyone into their hearts. However, they are able to open up to one another. Okay, I shed a few tears for Lizzie, because of the whole feeling unlovable. However, she was just a bubble of happiness even though she had a rough start in life. I love that these two kind of absorbed one another. However, there were some misunderstanding on both ends. Okay, loved this story and message that even though that

"Love is like life--it's a gift not to be squandered."

Both Lizzie and Dante had to learn that love is something to be cherished and willing to embrace no matter what happens in life. Dante almost missed his chance. So, if you are looking a quick get away, take an adventure with The Playboy of Rome.

Sweet Romance set against the Italian countryside

3.5 Stars

In The Playboy of Rome, the Italian countryside provides a backdrop for romance when an aspiring chef faces off against a reluctant restaurateur over a reality show! Lizzie Alder has given up everything for the opportunity to film her reality show at Ristorante Massimo and with no back up plan, she is determined to convince Dante DeFiore to honor the agreement she entered into with his grandfather.

Dante is in the process of finding a buyer for the restaurant and the signed agreement provided by Lizzie means putting the plans to sell on hold and stepping in for his grandfather on the show. Dante and Lizzie find themselves getting to know each other and dealing with the heat between them (not generated in the kitchen!) Both Dante and Lizzie have different backgrounds but share a lot of similarities.
