In Di Sione’s Innocent Conquest by Carol Marinelli, prickly , buttoned-up racing team 
owner Abby Ellison isn’t legendary playboy Matteo Di Sione’s type. But Abby has something he needs—a necklace prized by his grandfather—and where his lethal charm doesn’t work, sponsorship of her team does!
As they travel from Dubai to Monte Carlo to Brazil, Matteo thrives on the thrill of the racing world and the surprising allure of innocent Abby. But when he discovers the secret that drives Abby’s ambition, Matteo realises he can’t just take the necklace and walk away…
Di Sione’s Innocent Conquest is really different from all the other Harlequin Presents I have read. I am not sure if some of the elements of the story would be acceptable to the readers who prefer the traditional Harlequin romance.
It was really well written with depth and had really strong characters. Abby is a strong, driven heroine who has suffered some horrifying abuse in the past. She was broken in a really fundamental way and the happily ever after she got in the end was both well deserved and miraculous.
Matteo is an adorable hero because of the way he cares for Abby and also because he was so protective of her. I loved the way he put Abby at ease and helped her heal from her abusive past. The romance is raw, real and has a great intensity with a solid conflict.
Overall,Di Sione’s Innocent Conquest by Carol Marinelli is an enjoyable story which I personally loved mainly because of the amazing characters.
