GRR Reviews Honeymoon For One (Honeymoon) by Lily Zante

Honeymoon for One seems to have switched main characters. From the description it was supposed to be the jilted woman finding love abroad, but the book ended up more about her new beau Nico, than about Ava.

Ava was dumped by her fiancee a few weeks before the wedding. "I just wasn't ready" he said. Now groomless, and had to move home, Ava nonetheless decided to take her honeymoon vacation to Italy... ALONE. After numbingly long hours to Verona Italy, delays, missed transfers, she was definitely stranger in a strange land... at Verona Airport, without her luggage. She found a black sedan driver holding various signs including one for her hotel, and he even speaks English, what luck! What she didn't know about the driver Nico was he's actually the hotel owner's son, who's tired of the golddiggers always after him, and Ava just treated him... normally. Now he's smitten, and offered to drive her around. But Nico has a few other secrets... and what happens when Ava spot them?

While the Verona details are pretty good, the romance was a bit uneven. The story was implied to be about Ava, but it ended up mostly about Nico, with Nico's various problems and phobias taking the limelight, and Ava just along for the ride.
