★★ Do you love second-chance romances? Fall in love with sweet, clean, and wholesome romance. The setting is beautiful Charleston. This book is filled with delightful characters and brimming with Valentine joy. A Happily-Ever-After is guaranteed!★★



A billionaire and a single mother have more in common than they know.

He’s a billionaire businessman …

Luciano Donati, entrepreneur and eligible bachelor, lost his first wife to cancer. So though he lives in romantic Charleston, SC, he has every intention of ignoring the upcoming holiday for lovers … at least until he sets eyes again on his younger sister’s best friend.

He remembers Anastasia as a teenager who idolized him, not this lovely, fragile woman with heartbreak in her eyes. Heartbreak that he finds himself wanting to cure. Her smile warms his soul, her touch ignites his desire, and her little girl Soo-Min melts his frozen heart. Adopted internationally himself at a young age, Luciano understands all too well the strong need to belong somewhere.

She’s a single mom …

Anastasia Markow, cancer survivor and divorced mother, didn’t come to Charleston, SC, for romance. She's here to make sure she has custody of her adopted daughter, Soo-Min. But when she encounters the first man she ever loved, here in the city of horse-drawn carriages and candlelight, her battered heart can’t help but bloom again. And when Luciano and Soo-Min take to each other, resisting his charm becomes even harder.

Handsome, self-assured, every inch the successful billionaire, Luciano is out of Anastasia's reach. But when a hurricane strands them together and they must trust each other to survive … things heat up despite the driving rain and gale winds.


Author's Note: Thousands of families around the world have opened their homes and hearts through international adoption. Soo-Min is the embodiment of many, many fortunate adoptive children and parents who’ve together created forever families.

Amazon Review by Bookaddict

"Set in one of my favorite cities, Riviera brings the charm of historicalCharleston, SC, alive in vivid color, adding in the excitement of Mother Nature's volatility. This may be a wholesome romance, but there was no lack of surprises and action that had me flying through these pages and reading the book in one sitting.
I loved both of thesecharacters. Poor Anastasia has had some rough times, adopting a child,dealing with cancer and getting divorced, and Luciano has his share ofhardships but has managed to be extremely successful in business. Theyget reunited after many years when Anastasia visits her friend, who isalso Luciano's sister. The attraction is still there on both sides, andthe difference in their age difference no longer matters. But all kindsof things crop up, letting them get only so close before keeping themapart.
And don't let the wholesomeness fool you - there isplenty of chemistry and sparks between these two! In the midst offinally finding their forever together, both of these characters do alot of learning and growing, better preparing them for a futuretogether. There's a lot of romance, surprises and action in this one to keeping any reader hooked until the last page."

"I LOVE YOU MORE is a complete story and left me caring about all of thecharacters. Josie Riviera takes a realistic look at cancer, weaves in abeautiful view of adoption, and then addresses divorce in a way I foundrefreshing. All together, I LOVE YOU MORE is a lovely, memorable sweetromance.
This was the first book I've read by this author, but it definitely won't be the last!"

This was a good short read. I was a little disappointed that it was not a full length novel, because the storyline would have supported that easily. But overall, a very good story of an old love rediscovered.

I Love You More is a clean, heartwarming, inspirational romance. This beautifully written story is about surviving, international adoption, family and much more. Our heroine survives cancer, a hurricane, and divorce. Faced with a huge decision, she makes the mature one. The characters are all well drawn and personable. The book grabbed my attention in the first chapter and I read straight through.

The characters were well defined and the story plot was good—well paced. The descriptions were just enough to envision the scenes.

But, just about all of the characters are self-centered, or at least do something self-centered and mess up someone's day. The four-year-old can be excused, because 4yo. The main characters, though!

It all works out because they finally talk, but still.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay read (2.75 stars)
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2020

An okay read. Relationship resurrection after so many years was a bit too quick, but probably unavoidable in such a short book. Alexandra was often annoying (I've dealt with similar marriage and custody issues, so I'm not unaware of the emotions involved). Luciano seemed to fall in love without much effort in spite of seeming to grieve the death of his first wife. He was surprisingly selfish at times. Some details on medical details, legal issues, and weather probably needed better research. Even the song title was misspelled (Que Sera Sera). Basically a "clean" read, but too many veiled lust references (eg, provocative body, alluring body, etc.)
