Christmas in Venice by Meadow Taylor & Evergreen, A Christmas Tale
Olivia Moretti has just got off an airplane after a very long flight and is now being stopped by the Venice police for something she has no idea about! Unfortunately, the police want to talk to her about her luggage, that Olivia left in the care of an elderly woman while she made a phone call and now she is gone. Olivia was so looking forward to Christmas in Venice with her cousin Marco and starting her new job, but so far it wasn't turning out well. In fact, it just keeps getting better and better (not!), because now the police can hear a strange sound coming from inside her suitcase.
Once again this is another story that seemed to have been lifted out of another one. The characters, Olivia, cousin Marco, the sexy police officer, while very interesting, could have all benefited from greater development and a more in-depth story. There is potential here...but I was really left wanting more. Perhaps Ms. Taylor will do that.
