Casey Hatter had experienced such enormous tragic loss in her young life that she wasn't sure she could ever recover. Feeling smothered and immersed in the past, when she won an opportunity to study art in Italy, she jumped at it. It meant relocating to Torino, and although she was afraid, she craved the new adventure. The people in her neighborhood were wonderful, so she immediately felt at home, and knew it was the right thing to do. The call from her former employer took her by surprise when Greta asked her to interview a popular soccer star named Alessandro Sottini. Since her classes didn't start until September, she agreed even though she knew absolutely nothing about the sport.

She was completely out of her element during the disaster of an interview, and Alex knew it. He was floored that she didn't treat him as the star everyone else did, and was immediately impressed by that. When he took her hand during introductions, they both felt the intense spark that sizzled between them. He was determined not to let the opportunity to know each other pass them by because he knew how rare a real connection was. Alessandro and Casey started spending a lot of time together, but she was unprepared for all the attention they received by simply being together. As happy as they were, no one else was happy about the love Alex and Casey had found. Everywhere Casey went, she was confronted by someone telling her to go back to America. When the violence escalated, and her home was attacked, she didn't know how much longer she could stay in her adopted country. When Alex was caught in lie after lie, Casey fled the country seeking the peace she couldn't find in Italy.

This is a great good old-fashioned romance infused with plenty of steamy scenes. Alessandro is every woman's fantasy - gorgeous, kind, rich, and athletic! He and Casey complement each other very well, and make an enviable couple.

A Grand Passion Samantha Winston 9781843608882 Books Reviews

I first discovered this author when I was checking out the new ebook publisher loose-id.com and read the excerpt for her latest ICE MAN (which I wound up buying and which was terrific BTW) and it got me digging up other stories she's written. I found A GRAND PASSION in paperback here at and snapped it up. I really enjoyed this story!

Casey Hatter is a widow of two years who has moved to Italy (Turin) to study art and to start her life anew. She cherishes her husband's memory and meeting a man is the last thing on her mind, but when her former boss, editor of a women's magazine, asks a favour she is hard-pressed to refuse. The favour is to interview an Italian soccer star for a profile on international athletes. Though she knows nothing about soccer and has never even seen a game, she agrees. But when she meets Alessandro Sottini unexpected sparks fly (he's got gorgeous raven curls and mesmerizing amber eyes) and she finds herself agreeing to have dinner with him. Little does she know what's in store for her as she has no idea how famous and popular he is in Turin!

Alessandro is immediately attracted to the blond-haired brown-eyed out-of-a-Botticelli-painting Casey. In complete contrast to the various actresses and models his publicist usually sets him up with she's genuine and sweet and just plain nice. A woman he wants to get to know and spend time with. But it's easier said than done when Alessandro can barely go out in public without being mobbed by his fans and the papparazzi. While he loves his fame and the lifestyle it affords him it's also lonely, isolating and at times superficial. All of which makes Casey even more desirable and he is determined to have her in his life. But Casey is not comfortable with life in a fishbowl or with the reaction of his fans to their relationship and when her former in-laws visit, even more complications arise. But you'll root for this terrific couple to overcome all of there obstacles and have the happily ever after they deserve!

My only issue with the story was with Alessandro's passive attitude toward the actions of his fans and the press, but I guess there really is only so much one can do in that situation. Anyway, I loved it and recommend it highly!
I hate erotica. I hate it with A Grand PASSION. I feel that erotica should never, EVER be more than $1 because $10 for the "See You Next Tuesday" word and graphic sex is ridiculous with no storyline.

I've seen this book before and before it was overpriced. For $1.19 I picked it up and was surprised. It was decent. The relationship between Alessandro and Casey developed well because it was obvious they fell in love at first sight. There as sex. Lots of sex and that awful See You Next Tuesday word. You know the one. That God awful c--- word that's crude and should never be said or written because it's the epitome of crude and not sexy at all.

But it wasn't so bad. Until the big "misunderstanding" because that part was just dumb and an awful plot device. Ms. Winston had a decent story here until the dumb, just plain stupid misunderstanding happened. The heroine, who's been saying forever and ever that she'd never leave the hero and loved him just ups and leaves because obvious scheming women keep coming up to him with their shrill voices. That was just awfully written and incredible dumb. Ms. Winston is too smart to be writing such a dumb plot device. That was only used to speed up the timeline from September February.

Overall, quite graphic with some nasty ass sexual words and too much masturbation, WAY too much masturbation when a semi-decent love story but a God AWFUL understanding plot device. The type to make you toss your book across the room, then pick it up and toss it in a fire.
