Book & Author Details:
Adding Love to Attraction by Christine Miles
Synopsis:
A single-working mom can find the courage to take a second chance on true love…or can she?
Two years after leaving a toxic marriage, Gia Valentine is still putting her life back together. With never-ending love and support from her best friends and family, and the joys of motherhood, she’s on a path to healing and peace. Unfortunately, her controlling ex has other ideas, especially when it comes to their son. To further complicate matters, a blast from her past reappears—a boy-turned-man whom she had once considered the love of her life.
A determined man on an important quest can successfully change his stars…or can he?
Achieving la dolce vita. That’s Dominic Ferretti’s number-one goal upon leaving his domineering family in Italy and returning to Colorado after seventeen years. Armed with determination and a special checklist, he reconnects with the girl-turned-woman who long ago captured his heart. But the path to “the good life” comes with an unforeseen challenge known as her ex-husband.
Being given another chance is a dream come true for Gia and Dominic, both trying to move forward from disappointing pasts. Will the stars be on their side this second time around?
Courage + strength + healing will be the necessary variables to achieve happily ever after in Adding Love to Attraction, the fourth and final book in the Smart is Seriously Sexy Series.

EXCERPTS:
The corner of Gia’s mouth lifted in a smile. “Speaking of Italian, you’re probably going to regret telling my daughter you’ll say anything she wants.”Dominic slid his fingers into the front pockets of his jeans, debated whether or not to continue being honest, then decided he had nothing to lose. “If memory serves, you asked me a very similar question to Michela’s on our first date.” He had happily played along, too.Having the undivided attention of a smart, confident, beautiful American girl did that to a young man from another country whose first language was not English.Gianna’s face flushed.
He couldn’t help but smile.
“That wasn’t fair, Mr. Ferretti.”
He leaned forward. “But the truth. No?”
Dominic knew her memory had gone right to their first date, just like his. An unforgettable night of her introducing him to cheap, American pizza in a restaurant near the university, endless amounts of cola due to “free refills,” and enough spirited conversation that would have left most people breathless.
EXCERPT 2:
Between his penetrating eyes and low, hypnotic voice, her body became red hot. She suddenly then wondered if Dominic Ferretti still tasted as good as he looked and smelled.
“You are turning red.” He glanced at her mouth and back at her. “Are you feeling okay?”
Gia’s heart rate accelerated as she tried to find an answer to his question.
“I’m afraid I never told you how beautiful you looked tonight. Singing on that stage?”
She fought her own grin. “Grazie. And I’m not sure how I’m feeling.” A mixture of disbelief and contentment and lust had converged into an equation she couldn’t solve with him so damn close and looking downright edible.
The fact they weren’t alone in the house only added to the equation’s complexity.
He glanced at her mouth once more. “I might be able to help with that. Yes?”
She peered at him.
What the hell were they talking about?
“No.” She straightened. “You need to stop”—she twirled her index finger at him—“this.”
He also straightened, but with a devil-worthy grin.
