Francesca, Antonia, Gianna, and Carmine were raised by their strict, old school Italian father. Each sibling has their own journey but how they find their happily ever after definitely isn\u2019t easy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The King and the Pawn<\/strong> &#8211; Francesca, the baby of the family, wants nothing more than to fulfill her dream of being a fashion designer. Unfortunately, Papa DiDominzio will stop at nothing to squash her dreams and lead her toward the traditional career of the women in their family. Francesca concocts the perfect plan to bring home a man her father will hate in hopes that he\u2019ll make a deal so she can still reach her dreams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not in Love<\/strong> &#8211; Antonia, the sexy second to youngest DiDominzio, exudes nothing but sex appeal, especially with her non-traditional blue eyes. After dating one man after another, Antonia thinks she\u2019s finally found the man of her dreams until she realizes the one she really wants has been right in front of her since they were children.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One Day as a Lion<\/strong> &#8211; Gianna, the eldest DiDominzio sibling, is the only one that has followed Papa\u2019s wishes by marrying an Italian man and working in his restaurant. While her brother and sisters suspect something isn\u2019t right with her marriage, none of them can prove any differently. However, there is one man that will do everything in his power to save Gianna from the man she calls her husband.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Destined For You<\/strong> &#8211; The only male sibling, Carmine is more like a second father to his sisters than their brother. There\u2019s only two things that are important to Carmine-his family and his club. Keeping up with his sisters and running his successful business leaves him no time to find a mate. As luck would have it, fate falls into his lap, changing his world, in more ways than one\u2026 and not necessarily for the best.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B06VVKY7DV\">Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Get the first book in the series, <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The King and the Pawn, <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>for FREE at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B015VQM2VM\">Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png?resize=230%2C50\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Day as the Lion Book 3 of the Novellas<\/p>\n<p>One Day as a Lion Book 3 , Love &amp; Famiglia: The DiDominzio Novellas by Lyssa Layne<\/p>\n<p>I purchased this book.<\/p>\n<p>I am so clapping right now.\u00a0 I was super excited to see Gia get a book.\u00a0 The eldest sister needed an HEA and I am thrilled with how she got one.<\/p>\n<p>We have seen Gia and Vinnie in the other books and we have not been fans of his and now we get the full truth of their marriage.\u00a0 Vinnie is a DICK!\u00a0 Gia is the good girl.\u00a0 The girl who followed her father\u2019s rules and married an Italian man.\u00a0 She is the dutiful daughter and wife who is miserable in her life.<\/p>\n<p>When we see Luca and Gia meet my heart was so conflicted for her because divorce isn\u2019t an option for her not that Vinnie would ever leave his punching bag.\u00a0 Seeing Luca and Gia form this undeniable bond was amazing.\u00a0 Seeing the ends of the Earth Luca goes to help save Gia is even better.<\/p>\n<p>I am not getting into a lot of the plot because I think it would be a big spoiler if I said Gia *spoiler* and then Vinnie *Spoiler*\u2026so yeah you wanna know how the broken eldest was glues back together??\u00a0 Then read the story!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lyssa Layne is first, and foremost, the proud momma to her precious daughter, AR.
