Racing the Sun: A Novel | Karina Halle
1 post | 11 read | 5 to read
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Where Sea Meets Sky comes a new adult novel about a young woman who becomes a nanny in Capri and falls for her charges’ bad-boy brother.It’s time for twenty-four-year-old Amber MacLean to face the music. After a frivolous six months of backpacking through New Zealand, Australia, and Southeast Asia, she finds herself broke on the Mediterranean without enough money for a plane ticket home to California. There are worse places to be stuck than the gorgeous coastline of southern Italy, but the only job she manages to secure involves teaching English to two of the brattiest children she’s ever met. It doesn’t help that the children are under the care of their brooding older brother, Italian ex-motorcycle racer Desiderio Larosa. Darkly handsome and oh-so-mysterious, Derio tests Amber’s patience and will at every turn—not to mention her hormones. But when her position as teacher turns into one as full-time nanny at the crumbling old villa, Amber finds herself growing closer to the enigmatic recluse and soon has to choose between the safety of her life back in the States and the uncertainty of Derio’s closely guarded heart.

A broke backpacking millennial is stranded in Positano & grabs an opportunity to tutor 2 kids in Capri.Their brooding guardian slowly opens up to her about the family‘s recent tragedies. Halle is good at writing young women finding love in beautiful places, & in this case, with a sexy Italian motorbike racer. Lots of local color (especially enjoyable if you‘ve been to Capri, Anacapri, and Naples). A late crisis occurs but leads to HEA #romantsy
