Milo Giordino
is recovering from being shot in the hospital when he finds himself falling for
his sweet and sexy nurse, Gianna and soon he can’t wait for when she comes on
duty while he is in the hospital. With Gianna, he finds a woman who is sweet,
makes him laugh and just keeps a smile on his face. While watching his siblings
and cousins fall in love and find their own happy ever after, Milo yearns for his
own special someone and he thinks he found it in Gianna, but he has uphill
battle for her heart even as he falls even more in love with the pretty nurse.
Gianna has
had it rough with her parents dying in an accident which had her in charge of
her younger brothers, a fiancé who destroyed her heart and soul and now that
she finds herself falling for her patient, she can’t help but fall for his
large family even as they bring her into their world with open hearts and arms.
But Gianna is determined to stand on her own…even if it means giving up on a
second chance at love with Milo and breaks her heart in the process.
HOW
MUCH I NEED is a
great book to end (for now I hope) in Marie Force’s Miami Nights series. With
Milo finally getting his own romance and ever after seeing his siblings and
cousins fall in love with some amazing people, he finds himself falling for his
pretty nurse after getting shot by mistake and having major surgery. With the
large Giordano family giving the readers much laughter, love and more amid this
series and Milo and Gianna finding their road to happy ever after is paved with
speed bumps right and left, the reader is taken on a wild ride that will tie up
lots of loose ends in the series and we get a catch up with everyone we have
grown to love since book one, How Much I Feel. Marie Force is a
wonderful storyteller and is an autobuys for me regardless of the book/series.
Her storytelling is on par with the big-name authors (Susan Mallery, Nora
Roberts, etc.) and her characters are so multidimensional and the reader cannot
help but fall in love with them all. I know I can honestly say I am really,
really hoping she comes back to this amazing series in the future as I know I
am not the only one who would love to see what’s up with the family and all the
characters.
Milo is the
nice guy, the boring one according to past girlfriends and he despaired on
finding his own love even as he was thrilled as his siblings fell in love and
found their perfect mates. Now after waking up in the hospital and being told
what happened, his days pass in slow motion until his pretty nurse Gianna comes
on duty then he finds himself brightening up even as he makes her laugh and
want to know more about her and why her eyes held such shadows of pain. Milo is
one of my favorite characters in this series. The youngest kid, the ‘nice guy’
who always seemed to finish last. His personality shines through in his book, HOW
MUCH I NEED, and the reader will fall for him and Gianna right from the
start. Gianna has no shield from Milo as he storms her well meaning defenses
and she finds herself falling for her patient even as she resists until she
succumbs to Milo’s charms as well as his family’s welcome. But Gianna has issues,
and they get triggered even as she wants to believe that love with Milo will
not sour. Can Milo show Gianna that the strength of love can be a more
wonderful thing than the second time around, only if you trust yourself and the
person, you’re with one hundred percent? I love Gianna and love her with Milo a
lot. He gives her space, is generally interested in her, her past and why she
is the way she is. This made me happy to see it as a realistic approach to
romance that I sometimes don’t see in romance books at times. Its not all
chemistry and sex, it’s about respect of the other person, their feelings and
giving them space to figure out what they need and want. The entire cast of
characters deliver in this final book as Milo’s family gives advice to him and
Gianna, as Gianna wrestles with her heart and as Milo finds himself on tenterhooks
as he waits for Gianna to come back to him. Ms. Force delivers a wonderful
finale in HOW MUCH I NEED with her trademark style, full of romance, friendship,
and family as well as some steamy sex to keep things interesting.
HOW
MUCH I NEED is
more than a boy meets girl, falls in love and lives happily ever after. Its
about two people who need to find their way to one another even as things
conspire to toss roadblocks periodically (as life tends to do) and the reader
will fall in love with Milo and Gianna even as the ending itself ties up loose
storylines from past books and the reader finds themselves longing to meet this
wild and wonderful cast of characters. If you haven’t read this series, then I
highly recommend you start with book one, How Much I Feel, and make sure
to settle in because you will not want to put these books down. Kudos to Marie
Force for giving the reader a satisfying final book in a series set in steamy
Miami and the little Havana area of the city. I can’t wait to see where this
author goes next in her writing journey and hope you can grab any of this
author’s books.
