If you like sweet romance stories set in a remote countryside manor house with a reformed ex-con and pregnant widow hiding her secret baby, you'll love this fresh twist on a classic trope! Unforgettable stories of family, love, and learning where you belong. Discover Northern Portugal with the Romano cousins as they fall in love when they least expect it. Perfect for fans of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Virgin River, and Chesapeake Shores!

An ex-con reforming his life. A pregnant widow hiding her past. Will the price of her secrets cost her his love?

Catarina Romano has lost everything: her husband, her house, her lifestyle. She flees to her cousin’s empty manor in the heart of Portugal, trying to find peace and to hide from the scandal spun by the media, only to discover she is pregnant.

Afonso Cortez is done with all the lies. Fresh out of prison for trusting the wrong person, he’s ready to leave the past behind and look ahead to new opportunities. The remote Sunset Manor, in need of a groundskeeper, is the perfect solution, promising to provide Afonso with the solitude he craves while he restores the grounds to their former glory.

Catarina avoids Afonso at first, not wanting to further complicate her life. But Afonso is intriguing, and she feels drawn to him. If only she didn’t feel guilty for all the secrets she’s keeping from him.

When suspicious accidents start occurring at the property, Afonso believes his past is catching up with him. Will he be able to protect Catarina or will he lose the woman who might restore his belief in love?

The Romano Family series follows the stories of the Romano cousins of northern Portugal as they find love and their Happily-Ever-Afters. Love Me at Sunset is a standalone romance with a guaranteed happy ending.

Story of Redemption and Growth

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

This was a sweet romance about two characters, Afonso Cortez, a musician (who was introduced in the second book in the series on Matias’s ship), and Catarina Romano, an aspiring interior designer. Catarina is a cousin to Jacinta from book 1 and Matias from book 2. This can for sure be read alone without reading others in the series but I loved how the 4 I have read so far all come together with familiar characters making an appearance (I read book 4 first). Catarina has lots of secrets. Afonso is fresh out of prison and learning who to trust. Matias sets him up with a cousin for a job doing yard work for a dilapidated mansion. He meets a young woman as she is throwing up in a bush out front. His new boss leaves almost immediately, he wants Afonso to keep an eye out and help out the grieving cousin who was recently widowed, which turns out to be the young woman who was throwing up outside. This follows their love story including a big suspenseful adventure. They both have to learn to share their truths and lives quite literally depend on them sharing the skeletons in the closet. I highly recommend this story.

(I listened to this as an audiobook)

Story: 4.5 stars

Wonderful clean love story! It is book 3 in a series and I can vouch for the fact that it is a stand-alone, since I haven’t read/listened to the other books and understood everything.

I loved some of the glimpses we got into Portuguese life and traditions!

It was a wonderful escape and I am absolutely going to listen to the others in the series!

Narration: 4 stars: The voice actor has a lovely Portuguese accent. And a deep enough voice that the men in the story sound like men.

Afonso and Catarina both wanted a new start. He had just got out of prison after foolishly allowing a woman to catch him up in something that hurt his employer’s customers, but could have cost them their lives. Catarina was running from a life in her deceased husband’s spotlight after scandals over his love and business affairs had caught up with him. They were both hurt by others and trying to make a better life. They weren't asking for the attraction between them especially since she was pregnant and so had someone else to think about now. Afonso past also catches up with him and wants revenge. There were plenty of sweet, funny, romantic, and scary moments in this clean romance.

Wonderful addition to the sweet romance series

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

The characters were really well done.
We met some in a previous book, and, yay! some of the extended family appear in this one.

There's a bit of slow-growing romance, bit of suspense, and a bit of angst over past mistakes. Nothing is over the top, and the HEA at the end is believable.

A story that tends to follow a usual theme. I did enjoy it and wondered how Annabel’s would finally come in to the story.

I loved this addition to the Mansions series. I have read several of Lucinda Whitney's books and she has never disappointed me. Her Romano family books are all fantastic reads. Catarina and Afonso make a terrific couple and their story will draw you in from the beginning. I love that this whole series contains books that I'm not afraid to let my teenage daughter read. If you are looking for a clean, sweet romance series, then I highly recommend all the books in this series.

BOTH HAD DARK PASTS

Alfonso will be doing the garden restoration , a cousin referred him for the job, after getting out of prison. Another relative, recently widowed will be staying on the grounds also. Be sure she has everything she needs.
Catarina didn’t want Her cousin Filipe to leave on business,, would miss talking to him. He thought she was too young to be a widow. Both of them had a dark past, the hurts and healing it took for both of them. The setting was well done, and sounded beautiful, a perfect place that they both needed. Good romance story.

The author has beautifully woven a tale of two people finding love and romance despite the pains of their past. This is a sweet story of second chances against a lovely backdrop. Her descriptions are are so well written one can easily imagine ones self there. The characters were believable and endearing. The plot was intriguing and moved at a good pace. I loved watching their love grow and the family dynamic.

Great read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

A great clean good old-fashioned romance , it was a beautiful story of a ex- con Alfonso Cortez who thought he could start a new life at sunset manor in Portugal as a groundsman but he never expected to meet Catarina Romano who herself was hiding herself away in her cousins property after her husband had died. Neither of them expected to fall in love. I loved the characters and how the author developed them throughout the book.
It's the first book I've read by this author and it won't be the last as I loved this book. 5 🌟
