Back cover summary: Allesandro di Vincenzo is a perfect male specimen. There's no woman he can't have--until Laura Stowe crosses his path. Laura is plain, poor and hides behind her homely appearance to avoid getting close to people. But Allesandro needs her family connections to open the door to ultimate corporate power. So he must woo the ugly duckling into his bed--where she will learn what it is to be a beautiful, desired swan.
Why I picked up the book: I like transformation/make-over themes.
What I got from the book: It was interesting how the heroine's transformation wasn't just external. She had to soften as well.
What I can expect from the author: I've read a few books by Julia James and I like how her heroines have to change and grow just as much as the heroes. The heroines make very real, very human mistakes.
Last word: The Italian's Rags-to-Riches Wife is a very emotional transformation story.

Tis is in my tbr pile and I will now move it closer to the top of the heap. I like her writing also, but had so many others I put ahead of it, but now I must read about the transformation. Thanks for the review
