Well I loved Noah (the first book in this series) but I loved Gio even more. Elizabeth Reyes writes adult contemporary as well as young adult books. I Don't like cheaters in no way of form but I still enjoyed the read. Gio and Bianca go about their secret love in a bad way and I didn't feel sorry for neither when it was revealed even though Felix was no good himself. The story plot was amazing that I found myself laughing then tearing up.This is definitely a MUST Read! I can't wait to read the next book from this series. Well I loved Noah (the first in this series) but I loved Gio even more. Elizabeth Reyes writes adult contemporary as well as young adult books. I have read some from her Moreno brother series, one of which I wasn't keen on. Although Gio is 'adult contemporary', it does still feel like a YA book as all the characters are aged around 21 (although we don't actually get told their ages in this book but I am going on their ages when Noah ended!). There are no explicit love scenes until near the end of the book and in my view even these are tame so yes, it does seem like a YA book however, I still really enjoyed it.I have read reviews on Amazon.com and some people are not keen on the fact the book is about 'cheating'. I didn't have a problem with this as from the beginning, it is obvious that Felix (Bianca's boyfriend) is not being faithful to her. Also, the reason Bianca doesn't just end things with Felix when she realises she is falling for Gio is because she would then not be able to see Gio. I found this all very believable.As with Noah, we get a slow build up on the romance side. I like this in a story. Gio to me is the best male hero I have read out of all Elizabeth Reyes books. He has reason to show jealousy, but it is in a normal way and not overly possessive like some of her other characters. Bianca as well is one of the best heroines I have read by Reyes.All in all, a really good read. Reyes states at the end that she is taking a break from this series and going back to the Moreno brothers (Vince and Rose). I'm a bit disappointed we will have to wait for the next one in this series and I am hoping it is Abe and Nellie's story next.
What do You think about Gio (2000)?
it was just okay. I can't condone the *spoiler* cheating aspect
