Another great read by Melissa. Aeden & Wendy are a charismatic pair who I couldn't wait to meet in their own story after meeting them in Brando Santini's book. A well written fast paced novel that brings together a wonderful new set of characters to enjoy and some old favourites
5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent start to this new series!

Feel like I have been waiting forever for The Fitzpatrick family, but well worth the wait. Melissa shines again with her thriller plot twists, loveable characters and explosive chemistry. Wendy and Aeden's story was the perfect start to this series, meeting new characters and revisiting old favourites. So well written, the story completely sucks you in. Realistic plot lines and character traits just add finesse to the book. Please don't just take my word for it, buy it today, it'll leave you warm and fuzzy and hungry for more!
An enjoyable, quick easy read. With two likable main characters. A few hot moments and a little sprinkling of suspense that kept me hooked during the last couple of chapters and I'm definitely excited to read more from the Fitzpatrick family in the future. I would also recommend this story to others especially if you enjoy this authors Santini Series.

If you’re a fan of The Santinis, you’ll definitely want to read this. We first met Aedan and Wendy in “One Night with a Santini.” Aedan is Kaitlin’s big brother and Wendy’s her BFF. Of course, they’ve known each other forever, but they’ve always seemed to get on one another’s last nerve. That is until right before Wendy leaves for a 6-month nursing mission to Africa. Then things get really hot and heavy with the promise of more when she comes home. And, boy, there’s definitely going to be more.
Aedan and Wendy have never been one for lasting relationships. Wendy’s got family issues and Aedan’s been hurt in the past from trusting the wrong person. What they do have is a lot of chemistry so when they decide to give being a couple a go, they want to do so on the down low. Of course, you can’t really keep anything secret from a family as close as the Fitzpatricks. But it’s fun that they thought they could try.
There’s a lot of feels in this one with an interfering family and such strong emotions and steamy passion, but there’s also some unexpected drama when Wendy’s media exposure draws the wrong kind of attention. It brings an element of excitement to what is already an entertaining tale and will keep your attention throughout this engaging and appealing love story. As with the Santinis, the Fitzpatricks are a strong, close-knit family with whom you want to get to know more about each of its members. I have some definite ideas of whose story may be next. Can’t wait to find out if I’m right. 😉
Love. Friendship. Distance... Not really a good combination, but sometimes you just have to make it work. 6 months apart... Wendy was glad to be back home but unsure about what would happen when she saw Aeden again... It was even more uncertain when he didn't show up at the airport on her return. But she didn't let her disappointment show. Aeden was happy Wendy's time away was over. He took time off to spend with her so they can work on a relationship. He was determined to make things work. He was determined to find a way to keep Wendy in his life, but he didn't want it to affect his relationship with his family. This new family/storyline was begun great. It brings together the Santini & Fitzpatricks families. It brings the happiness that has always been in the family connections within the Santinis & the strength & togetherness that the Fitzpatricks show. This is going to be a great series considering how fabulous the start was!
