Return to Monte Carlo
A runaway wife, a surprise baby, and a dark secret.
MONTE CARLO, 1982
The odds of a man like Marco de Noli falling for a girl like me were a million to one.
He's old money, classic European jet set, a master of the universe.
When we met, I was a shy girl from Oklahoma, pretty enough, but nowhere near his league.
One year later, after he stands me up on our first anniversary, I have to face facts. Our marriage was a mistake. My in-laws think I'm a gold digger, Marco lives at the office, and nights of passion aren't enough. There's nothing keeping me in Monte Carlo.
But when I run, I don't realize that I'm taking the de Noli heir with me —
Or that our love wasn't what I thought it was at all.
Return to Monte Carlo is a retro romance with a spicy, modern twist. No cheating. HEA guaranteed. Intended for adult readers only.

Lover of Romance @addictedtoromance
Return to Monte Carlo was a book that I was eagerly excited for. There had been so many positive reviews so I had high expectations that this would be a Cate C Wells that I would fall in love with but yeah this wasn't as I was expecting and wasn't nearly as great as I was hoping for considering all the five stars. Its very apparent that this writing style of this author is definitely not really for me. While its not bad or anything, it definitely needs more polish and editing to it. Its hard to get into her books at times, and the pacing was so off in this book that it kept me from really being able to become engaged by this book here. I wanted so much to love this one though because of the set up and the time era...I love older contemporary era's and while it had some aspects of that some of the terminology was much more modern than what you would get in the 80's and feminism was very different back then and that aspect could have been written better. Now as for the romance, this was really hard to be invested in to be honest. There was such a disconnect between this couple and I never "felt" that connection that should have been there until like the last couple of chapters. As this is my third Cate C. Wells, I am pretty sure her books just aren't for me as I never enjoy them as much as I want to. I am thrilled that so many are loving this one though, but unfortunately too many factors kept me from enjoying this one as I would have liked.
