Un Bacio Inatteso by Kathleen e Woodiwiss

 Un Bacio Inatteso


by Kathleene Woodiwiss

published by Sonzogno is the last, still unknown book written by the writer of good love-stories mixed with spicey descriptions, sensuality and great scenarios. I admit that the first part of this tale has been simply dreaming.

We are in Charleston, South Carolina, profound South of the USA.

Jeff Birmingham is a 30 and something  and a very rich and amicable boy, still unmarried. 

Voices said that maybe he was the lover of the wife of his brother, but without any kind of evidences. Admired by many people, he has been a good omen also for mrs Brewster, who sells hats, because after that Jeff entered in her store, once, asking for an elaborate creation, she started to be overwhelmed by work. Jeff that day was there for buying another hat to his sister-in-law.


An incident involving a girl of 19 years, Raelynn who had to be sold at a nasty and old german by a phantomatic uncle, convinces Jeff that the best thing to do is... to buy this girl!

News is spreading and worried for what it was going on, Jeff's brother and sister-in-law Heather reassured by Jeff appreciated and welcomed the newcomer: the priest, also pretty worried but ironic will celebrate a quick ceremony.


The two pigeons are both immensely in love. Raelynn discovers in Jeff a beautiful man with which she can builds a good existence. Not too young, not too old, she will surely live a great life. Jeff understands that she has always waited for her.

Problems anyway are not yet over...There will be the unwelcomed visit of the german man with wagons of men and someone will be wounded; the return of the uncle of the girl, then Nell! declaring that she was bringing in her belly Jeff's baby.

Raelynn lives in a perennial and scaring turmoil: at first, sounded to be a wonderful fairy-tale...



A relaxing book that you'll read pretty quickly but that will be in grade, in particular in the first part, of let you live a beautiful fairy-tale. Also when scenarios will be more cruent there is hope, irony and a certainty: that at the end there will be a wondeful happy-end!


Highly recommended.


I thank Marsilio/Sonzogno for the physical copy of this book.
