This is the fifth book in this delightful, entertaining series and the one where the thieves will be apprehended! It involves the PI cousin of the Hotel owners coming undercover in an attempt to thwart any attempts to steal jewels from people staying at the luxury Hotel dei Fiori Isola del Sole. With stealth, mystery and investigations to be carried out as well as romance to develop this is an action packed enthralling read that I highly recommend.

As usual, the story has a strong alpha billionaire male who is seriously attracted to a reluctant somewhat feisty, independent female who is used to standing up for herself. Whilst the attraction between Luke and Summer is highly combustible, she is particularly wary and it is interesting to discover why and to see how Luke wins her over. The focus on investigating and preventing the jewel thefts adds an extra dimension to this story which is a brilliant finale to the series.

It is great to catch up on the brothers at the Hotel but I suspect the novel could also be read as a standalone and still enjoyed. The interactions between family and friends as well as guests at the Hotel all add to the plot which had its origins in the earlier novels in the series. I keep typing it, but I really do admire how the different authors collaborate to produce such a great series. Each author shares part of the overall story but they keep the events, characters, places and reactions consistent through all the stories so they flow seamlessly without highlighting the fact they have been penned by different authors. This is a superb collaborative series and I highly recommend this and all the other titles in it!
