A Romantic Comedy of Italian Proportions…

She may look good in black, but Tessa Rosetti is not testing the family curse again. Three generations of women have already buried the men they love and confirmed Tessa’s belief in the Rosetti Curse.

Los Angeles cop Thomas Riley arrives back home in Silver Ridge, Colorado, to settle his grandmother’s estate, but while he's there, he stumbles into trouble in the night. If his suspicions are correct, someone's cooking up more than biscotti at the local cookie factory.

Together, Riley and Tessa renew their old bond and battle a curse that leads them on a journey of destiny to the love of a lifetime.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Like Italian? If not, you will

You like Italian? If not, you will after reading this book. Yes, there's quite a bit of stereotypical Italiano family stuff going on, but it enhances the reading experience, drawing you in as if the author is letting you join her in an inside joke. Tessa and Riley are fighting a losing battle against their attraction for each other that was encouraged from their respective cradles. Tessa doesn't believe in the family curse, or so she says. Riley is just trying to settle his parent's estate before escaping the small town he thought he hated.

I enjoyed this book immensely - especially the humor and the obvious love of family the author shows. Tessa's Grandmother is priceless and worth the price of the book in her own right. This book is a fun, fun read and restores your faith in family. I've a feeling I'll be reading this story repeatedly - especially when I need a warm fuzzy fix.

I enjoyed relaxing with this story - and it WAS relaxing. Not much drama and a sort of cute-ish humor between the main characters and 'bad guys' who were stupidly funny instead of scary-bad even though what they were doing should have been scary. The overall story held together well. LOTS of talk about bakery stuff (cookies, italian pastries) and so many casseroles and dishes that I was starving through the entire book LOL! I love books that have a sweet romance and cute humor and don't have so much drama and stuff going on. I was expecting a christian romance since this author has some under a different name but I don't recall prayers and scripture stuff though the book did stay pretty clean - just some references to what hero/heroine wanted but no actual doing anything. Overall I enjoyed this story and would buy another like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Romantic Comedy
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2013

What a fresh new comedic voice in romantic fiction. Loved the dry humour found in the dialogue, in the ambiance of the small town and especially in Tessa's grandmother. I want to be adopted into the Rosetti family, curse and all!

Riley and Tessa's scenes are a riot. Their witty repartee had me laughing out loud even as I yearned for them to get on with their romance. But Russo knows how to leave her readers wanting more so she threw a lot of intriguing obstacles in their path. Some of them are hilarious, some hair-raising, some a tad heart-breaking -- all of them riveting. You won't want to pass up this light-hearted romance. It's a gem!

Tessa grew up hearing about the family curse. Her best friend growing up was the boy across the street. This book was supposed to be a romance, I think! I laughed so hard it should have been a comedy. The curse was a turnoff for me.

I was so sorry to see The Rosetti Curse end. The book, not the curse. :)
I loved this book. So funny, so sharp and well written. It had a spark of Janet Evanovich, enough romance to make my love-story-loving heart sigh. Riley and Tessa are perfect together. Grandma Rosetti is a lovable meddler and the whole small town full of quirky characters doing what they think best while big city detective Riley keeps trying to get them to make sense instead. I laughed my way through this book, which ended far too soon.
I loved what I hope is book one in a long line of Rosetti stories.
Just the delicious food from the Rosetti Bakery alone made it a treat worth devouring!

I found Radcliffe's characters larger than life and delightfully witty. This charming little romance had a bit of intrigue combined with an accurate depiction of what it's like growing up two steps from the Old Country, right down to Nonna's secret sauce. My spouse kept asking me what was so funny. Even if you're not Italian, I guarantee you'll be swept away by the sheer charm of the neighborhood and the wholesome romance between two well developed characters. I couldn't put it down.

Look out, Janet Evanovich--Tina Russo is hot on your heels with a spunky Sicilian heroine who's determined to break the Rosetti Curse before it breaks her chance at true love. The Rosetti women--hindered by a curse cast upon Great-grandmother Rosetti by a woman who accused her of stealing her beau--are feisty and fun, adding humor and spice to a love story seasoned with mystery, suspense and a quirky family who will steal your heart along with the hunky hero. A truly delectable dish of Sicilian sass, humor, and Italian spice that will have you crooning, "That's Amore!"
