The Secret One

Corisi Billionaires, Book 3

By: Ruth Cardello

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Lidia Dornet

In this steamy third book in New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello’s Corisi Billionaires series, a trip to Italy could jump-start a lasting relationship - but only if all that’s hidden comes to light.

When Christof meets a beautiful mechanic on the side of the road, he knows they’re meant to be. His family, however, needs him and his mediation skills in Italy, where decades of secrets and betrayal could cost them everything. His mother is convinced a fiancée would help smooth things over. But he’d be nuts to ask a woman he just met to participate in such a farce.

Men always find something about McKenna they want to change - her independence, her success, the grease that clings to her after a satisfying day in the garage. So when she starts falling for a handsome billionaire, she doesn’t believe it will last. Their engagement is fake, but the sparks that fly when they’re together are too real to resist.

If Christof and McKenna trust themselves and each other, Italy will jump-start a love as intimate as it is intense. If not...their relationship isn’t the only one on the line.

Execellent

I was very impressed with how much these books are like listen things in my past, and are so much like my big crazy family. Ruth does an amazing job of making it flow so beautifully. I would recommend these and her to many people.

The Secret One

This one is the third in this series and it was great! Christof and McKenna first met at a bar as a random meeting when Chris was almost too drunk to remember her but they both made quite the impression on each other. He didn't remember much of that night except Mac was the love of his life and he named his car after her. For her, he helped her realize she did have dreams and just needed a plan to fulfill them. Years later it was a chance meeting when he was broken down on the side of the road and she stops to see if he needed help and, at first, they didn't recognize each other but were sure there was something about each other. A phone date later and especially after talking with his dad, Christof remembered who she was. When a scheme is put in place for him to have to travel to Italy for the family and needs a fiance to accompany him, he asks McKenna to join him. A ring, a fake engagement, and lots of family wine and with Nonna and her wooden spoon who could not fall in love! This is one big family with so many secrets but Christof has a calming way about him and he is just the man to set things on the way to being resolved. Will things work out for his love life too?

Answers, finally!

This was a fun little series to get through, but I think it may be a spin off of a prior series that I wasn't familiar with, so it was a little frustrating when the storyline seemed to veer in that direction. So glad the overall storyline was finally brought to a conclusion!

Wonderful Story

This book is layers on layers of family history and discovery. I really enjoyed it. I was confused at first, when the story jumped to a different set of people. It was sorted out well and had a happy ending.

Fantastic

Love how open and honest Christof is. Love that McKenna is not afraid to go after what she wants. Love the way they meet. They have an amazing chemistry and connection.
