Procure The Return Of The Di Sione Wife (The Billionaires Legacy #4) Translated By Caitlin Crews Displayed In Manuscript

once you have a very strong woman and a "demon" child, along with a socalled H who really has to work for his HEA.
Of course the h doesn't give him any leeway and stands firm against his actions,

While this had a lot of strong emotions, I thought the author handled the issues very well.
Both Anais and Dario had horrible childhoods and that impacted how they treated each other and how each reacted when the "betrayal" happened.
I loved that the child, Damian, wasn't portrayed as being the typical "sweet, innocent" child who usually appears in the plot as an "awwww!" device, but I also loved that Anais kept the father's picture by Damian's bedside:

“His best friend is a little girl named Olina,” Anais said eventually, her voice sounding scratchy.
She was propped up on an elbow next to Damian in the bed, her attention on him as he slept fitfully beside her.
“Her father is a fireman on the island, which the kids agreed was very impressive and heroic, Olina told Damian that when she gets scared, her father promised her hed always be there to fight the monsters or chase away the bad dreams.
That she could just call out and hed come, That was what fathers did, he told her, That was what they were for, ” Anais shifted then, her dark gaze finding Darios in the dim light, and he felt everything inside of him go still.
“Damian asked me how he could call out for his father when he didnt know where you were, ” Dario was stricken, held fast in some awful grip that he thought might crush him to dust where he satbut he couldnt bring himself to look away from Anais.
Not even to blink. “I told him that you knew where he was and that all he needed was the reminder of you to fight off the bad dreams and bad things that sometimes turn up in a little boys closet.
” She didnt drop her gaze, “I said you were magic, That all fathers were, but especially you, ” “Anais. ” But she didnt seem to hear him, “So together we picked out a picture of you from the photo album I have from our wedding day, and then we went to the store and found a frame he liked.
He wanted double protection, just to be sure, So its a Batman frame with you in it looking very magical and fierce and capable, It sits by his bed, and sometimes I catch him talking to it like youre real, To him, you always have been, ” Dario couldnt speak. I got to read this book as I edit the Dutch translation, My biggest problem was that the hero kidnapped theyear old of the heroine as an act of revenge.
Well as I am a mother myself, I could not overcome this act, After that I could not emotionally relate to neither the hero nor the heroine who first gets back at him and then gets back to him.
Both committed acts of revenge so in the end they both deserved each other I guess Any Harlequin Present book Caitlin Crews is always a treat to read , this novel was no acceptation.
Plus I enjoyed that the Heroine was Japanese, I'm loving the diversity. I am really enjoying this series and this one had a lot of angst and hurt that had to be overcome before they could finally have the HEA that was deserved there was a lot of mistrust between Dario and Anais and the journey was a tough one that will bring out a lot of emotions.


Dario Di Sione has been asked by his grandfather to find and return to him another of the lost mistresses this time a pair of earrings but Dario has an anger burning inside of him he is separated from his wife not divorced he throws everything into his business and pretty much keeps to himself even staying away from his identical twin since the break up of his marriage.
But when he travels to Hawaii to collect the earrings he is stunned to find that he is to collect them from none other than the wife he walked out on and she has a secret that he needs to know about.


Anais has felt cheated for six years wronged badly but although she had done what she could to let Dario know about his child he had blocked her totally but the instant that they meet again that spark is still there but Anais is a lot stronger now a lawyer and determined to make things right for her son.


This one practically has sparks flying of the pages as you turn them there were times I could have hit Dario, but Dario has a lot to learn.
I thoroughly enjoyed their sensual journey I loved the way that Anais stood up to Dario and stood her ground where their son Damien was concerned.
I do highly recommend this one I am loving the Di Sione family and their commitment to their grandfather and the loves in their lives.
A heartstoppingly emotional story where you're grabbed tightly and twisted and turned insideout by the figurative emotional roller coaster in this story.
And just when you feel your eye's pricking with tears or your heart stops and bottoms out because you can FEEL what you're reading, wait.
. . there's more!

Dario is the Di Sione sent on a mission and this time it's for earrings.
The pick up goes surprisingly well compared to some of the other installments but it is the pickup that is the catalyst for the incredible ride I was taken on where I pardon the cliche could.
not. put. down the book, regardless of the time it was! I was truely wrapped up in Dante and Anais's reunion.
As the title suggests the two parties are married but it's Anais's news that stuns Dario and infuriates him even more than he felt when he discovered his twin Dante and Anais walk out of his bedroomyears earlier.
He walked out and never looked back!

I give this storybecause not only did it captivate me from the very start to the very very last page, but also because of the unique circumstances Anais and Dario take and make.
I don't want to explain because it'd be a spoiler but I liked what Dario did, I'm not sure I've read such a plot twist before and as a reader I was sitting there going Woah, what is he DOING And then with Anais's response, boy was I in tears of laughter and sometimes actually found myself questioning how could she be doing this And I loved the way it was explained why Anais was ok with doing what she did.
I loved the little twist of how Damien knew who his Dad was just all of this mixed with how it made me feel I feel no doubt that I can award this wonderful, wonderful storystars.


This will be reread and is an incredible addition to the Di Sione's stories and I have to say, I'm looking forward to reading Dante's story.


Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishers for the opportunity to read and give my honest opinion.
I just read this again for the second time and it was just as good, I still cried and got mad at him and everything, And he was celibate as was she, I loved the epilogue.

Beautiful angst filled story Spoilers below

There were times in this book I cried, times I laughed, and times I felt the pain of the h.
Such power in a novel with less thanpages, I am in awe of Caitlin Crews and her ability to pen such a thing, The H was cruel and hateful and yet I felt his pain, But his actions at times were unconscionable and very hard to read, You felt his hatred for the h and the lie he believed in for six long years, It consumed him. The worst part was he created that pain all by himself, He cut pretty much everyone out of his world and buried himself in work, When his Grandfather set him out on his quest he was actually making him face his fears, And that came in the face of his estranged wife, And his secret son. People hate that and in her defense she tried to contact him, wrote him letters, tested, etc but he blocked her.
She could have done more maybe but rejection is painful and she lost hope, Now six years later he is back and his revenge is brutal, I hated him. But I am not going to rehash the book but honestly you must read it, It is a great journey and the HEA is delicious, Due in most part to the strongest h I have ever read about! She was amazing and she fought back courageously.
I love this series but this to me was the best book so far, It will be a keeper, I wanted to love The Return of the Di Sione Wife, It had tropes I like, . . secret baby, second chance at love and celibate heroine during seperation, Unfortunately the clinical cold writing style had me not connecting with the romance,



The heroine in this book is the strongest that I've come across in the year that I have been reading HP.
She had no problem standing up to her cold, harsh husband who enjoyed inflicting pain and not hearing her side of the story.
Love softens his hard heart in the end, both for his twin brother and his wife, I loved the epilogue. Great Read. the heroine makes this book, I decided to do a point system for the hero and heroine,

Heroine is a successful lawyerpt
She is not poor for a changebedroom houses in Hawaii are not cheappt
She tried to do the right thing and tell hero about babylike lots of timespt
She didnt run and hide from heroshe moved to Hawaii to be by familypt
She told hero about son as soon as she couldpt
She never bad mouthed hero to sonkept picture by his bedpt
She fought back publiclywhen the hero did the unthinkableyou will need to read to find outpt
She slept with hero knowing it was not wise, but she wanted it for herselfpt
Hero wants divorce and she is like fine but you owe me child support and will pay upmind you this is not for her, but for their sons college some daypt
She slept

with hero again BUT it was her controlling the narrativept
She refused the heros attempt to ignore the past and decided she needed to move onpt
She never cheated, and was celibate for the lastyearspt
She is not a typical HP heroineshe is even French/Asian and she has great kicky red heelspts
Final Tally/points

Hero:
He was celibatept
When the time came, he was able to pull off a good grovelpt
Heros tally/yep he was a real jerk!!

The ending was very well done, and we get a great glimpse into their future! Happy Sigh!!!!
