"Amalfi Affair" by Sabrina Devonshire is a great holiday romance with some adrenaline action rolled into it.

A female CIA agent on leave in Italy meets a Navy Seal. They begin a hot and steamy romance during their week cycling but then they need to go their separate secret ways. However, this is not all she wrote as their story starts again under different circumstances nine months later.

This is an intense and exciting read, full of life and powerful emotions. The romance is hot, the holiday feel great, the chemistry and emotions are deep and believable and the action rounds the entire thing up perfectly.

Romance, and thriller in one, this is an exciting rollercoaster. Told with a few time lapses this is well plotted as well as well written. Hugely enjoyable. ~ Review by ChristophFischerBooks TOP 500 REVIEWER

Excerpt:

A deep masculine voice broke into her reverie. “May I buy you a drink? I saw you at the pool earlier. Not only are you beautiful, but you look like you’d be fun to talk to.”

She bit back a smile as she realized why Peter and Colin had disappeared. Those two are just too much.Olivia turned to see the drool-worthy man standing so close she could reach out and touch him. Wavy reddish-brown hair framed a chiseled face. Sexy dimples accented his full lips. A white scar marred the tanned skin above one of his thick eyebrows. His yellow-flecked emerald eyes were nothing short of mesmerizing. He wore a worn Stanford University T-shirt and faded jeans that hugged muscular thighs and an obviously more-than-adequate package. I can’t believe you just thought that. Her voice caught in her throat and for a moment she forgot to breathe.

Despite the fact that his attire contradicted the five star hotel dress code; every item he’d chosen to wear suited him perfectly. A suit or a tie would have ruined his signature look, which was breathtakingly masculine.

She realized she’d gawked too long when he crossed his muscular arms over his chest.

“Oh, yes, of course, have a seat.” Olivia waved a trembling hand in his direction.

“Thank you.” He extended his hand toward her, initiating a handshake. “I’m Darryl Jennings.”

Remaining seated so she wouldn’t look too eager, she fidgeted and reached for his hand. “Olivia Simpson.” She hoped he didn’t detect the nervous tremor in her voice. His fingers laced firmly through hers and he seemed in no hurry to let go. Warm tingles raced up her arm. The sudden attraction astounded her, but then she brushed it off as inevitable. Any woman would go wild for him. The man was so hot; he could melt chocolate. Hell, her hand felt like it was about to melt and drip onto the floor.
