Arc Review Racing The Sun by Karina Halle

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Where Sea Meets Sky comes a new adult novel about a young woman who becomes a nanny in Capri and falls for her charges’ bad-boy brother.

It’s time for twenty-four-year-old Amber MacLean to face the music. After a frivolous six months of backpacking through New Zealand, Australia, and Southeast Asia, she finds herself broke on the Mediterranean without enough money for a plane ticket home to California.
There are worse places to be stuck than the gorgeous coastline of southern Italy, but the only job she manages to secure involves teaching English to two of the brattiest children she’s ever met.

It doesn’t help that the children are under the care of their brooding older brother, Italian ex-motorcycle racer Desiderio Larosa. Darkly handsome and oh-so-mysterious, Derio tests Amber’s patience and will at every turn—not to mention her hormones.

But when her position as teacher turns into one as full-time nanny at the crumbling old villa, Amber finds herself growing closer to the enigmatic recluse and soon has to choose between the safety of her life back in the States and the uncertainty of Derio’s closely guarded heart.

Both characters are realistic.I loved Amber and I really admired her, because she travels alone trying to find herself! I wish I could do the same!

I loved him so much,he is so hot!Even though sometimes I was pissed with him and others I was so sad and I wanted to hug him!But this is what makes him real, he has his bad and good moments!They are so perfect for each other!Amber is exactly what Derio needs,she help him a lot!The romance developed slowly and it was perfect because it's tender,passionate and intense!




I also fell in love with Derio's family!!His sister and brother is two cute children which have issues and in the beginning they were difficult but you can understand them!!I loved them both!
