My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century (My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century 1)
Author: Rachel Harris
Goodreads Rating: 4.51
Source: eARC provided for review
On the precipice of her
sixteenth birthday, the last thing lone wolf Cat Crawford wants is an
extravagant gala thrown by her bubbly stepmother and well-meaning
father. So even though Cat knows the family’s trip to Florence, Italy,
is a peace offering, she embraces the magical city and all it offers.
But when her curiosity leads her to an unusual gypsy tent, she exits . .
. right into Renaissance Firenze.
Thrust into the sixteenth century armed with only a backpack full of contraband future items, Cat joins up with her ancestors, the sweet Alessandra and protective Cipriano, and soon falls for the gorgeous aspiring artist Lorenzo. But when the much-older Niccolo starts sniffing around, Cat realizes that an unwanted birthday party is nothing compared to an unwanted suitor full of creeptastic amore.

Can she find her way back to modern times before her Italian adventure turns into an Italian forever?

I’m so glad to say that Rachel Harris got me trapped in
her claws (mwahaha) and I couldn’t help it but fell for her writing and awesome
characters.
I have to say that I’m not a really great fan of
romances (yeah, I’m a little boy-ish and I prefer the action, huh!) But
honestly, this romance was sweet but not-too-sweet, I mean, it was perfect. Cat
is not a silly rich girl; she was funny and really real and smart.
Not to mention the awesome (and hot) Lorenzo… jezz! I
hate it, but I must confess that I DON’T like his name BECAUSE I live in a town
called St. Lorenzo… hehe, see? And yeah, I’m that kind of silly girl.
Except this little thing it wasn’t any other thing I didn’t
like about him. He is the boy you wish you could find in your future time
travel. And he is an artist!!!! An artist, people!
Uh, yeah, maybe I’m the only one excited about that fact.
But anyway, Lorenzo is sweet, smart, incredibly charming and HOT.
The secondary characters are awesome as well. I feel a
lot intrigued about what could happen to them in the future. I needed to know more about them... but I don't really want to say what... sorry, but you must to read it.
Okay, to put an end. This book was fresh, funny, lovely and something new. Maybe you were recluctant to read about books set in a historical period, but My super sweet sixteenth century is not the usual, I;m sure you'll enjoy every page, every conversation and scenario, just the way I did.
Please, give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

As a teen, Rachel Harris threw raging parties
that shook her parents’ walls and created embarrassing fodder for future
YA novels.
As an adult, she reads and writes obsessively, rehashes said embarrassing fodder, and dreams up characters who become her own grown up version of imaginary friends. When she's not typing furiously or flipping pages in an enthralling romance, you can find her homeschooling her two beautiful princesses, hanging out with her amazing husband, or taking a hot bubble bath…next to a pile of chocolate.
MY SUPER SWEET SIXTEENTH CENTURY is her debut novel. She did have her own fantabulous Sweet Sixteen in high school. Sadly, it wasn't televised.
