Ciao for Now: A Romantic Comedy - Kate Bromley

Ciao for Now was an absolute delight to read from start to finish, but a quick warning: This book will make you hungry for pasta, a vacation in Rome, and a lot of steamy romance. Erin La Rosa, author of For Butter or Worse n nWhen an American interning at a fashion house in Rome butts heads with her professor's surly son, sparks fly! n nWith her thirties rapidly approaching and a mountain of student debt looming over her, Violet Luciano's dream of finishing design school and working in fashion has cost her everything.

So when she lands an internship at an up-and-coming fashion brand in Rome, she brings her A game to Italy. With nothing left to lose, Violet plans to win the competition among the interns for the ultimate prize--a job at a New York label. n nBut when a coffee run goes wrong and Violet accidentally destroys a stranger's laptop, all of the apology Americanos in the world won't help her.

Because it turns out that the man from the café is Matteo, her professor's eternally grumpy son, who thinks she's a clumsy American...and maybe a stalker. Their animosity (and undeniable chemistry) grows as together they're forced to face a summer of chic parties, adventures through Rome and sharing a home...with the person they can't stand the most. n nThe more time she spends with him, the more distracted she finds herself.

With her chance to win the competition slipping out of her grasp, Violet has to decide whether to say ciao to Matteo--or ciao to her dreams. n
