If Today Be Sweet (Harlequin Romance, 2039)

Twenty-four-year-old Lori Trent is in Venice for an extended stay at the exclusive hotel her brother Bart owns with his partner's widow, Gina. Her mother has just divorced her father and married her childhood sweetheart and though she is happy for her mother, she feels a little depressed about her father. Bart thought it would be better for Lori to move from England to Italy for awhile.Right away Lori notices that Italian men are a little more obvious when checking out a woman and Bart warns her about Italian men, but when Lori meets Gina's guardian, who also had been the cousin of Bart's deceased partner and the man who had loaned the partners the money to renovate the hotel she is hooked. And he's not just any man, he's a prince, Prince Mario Doniletti Volleano. However it seems to Lori that Mario is more interested in Gina.And now you have the setup of this delicious romance that I dearly loved. Ms. Britt wrote this story way back in 1976, four years before I was born, but it still stands up today. If you seek out and find this nice romance, you won't be disappointed.A Harlequin Dreamers Review by Gracie Houston
