The authors struggle to distinguish the voices of the three protagonists, occasionally causing them to blend together. But though Adèle seeks power through sex, she’s attracted to powerful men and she relies on them to overpower her. A Moroccan man that has lived in Rome long enough to believe he is Italian, with a Moroccan dust left in his soul.

But her dream come true turns into a nightmare when she falls pregnant and Hugh makes it clear he’s been there, done that and doesn’t want to do it all again.
