<\/span>Having loved Italy Ever After, We’ll Always Have Venice<\/i> and A Taste of Italian Sunshine<\/i> by Leonie Mack<\/b>, I am delighted to return to Italy and feature her latest romance, In Italy for Love <\/i>which was published by Boldwood Books<\/b> on October 22nd<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

. <\/span><\/span><\/span>
Julia Volpe\u2019s Italian dream has turned into a nightmare.<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Still living with her ex, Luca, a year after they\u2019ve broken
\nup, desperate to sell the dilapidated B&B that was meant to be their
\nfuture, Jules knows she needs to leave. There are just two problems. Her
\npassport has expired and she\u2019s broke.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not quite ready to ask her parents for help \u2013 at the ripe
\nold age of twenty-seven \u2013 Jules decides to head as far away from Luca as she
\ncan to work on an olive farm until she has enough money to pay for her passport
\nand a ticket back home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jules has sworn off love, but she hadn\u2019t bargained on the
\nbeauty of Cividale del Friuli, the ancient Italian town on the banks of the
\ngloriously blue Natisone river. As the community of farmers, neighbours and
\nlocals generously welcome her into their lives, Jules can feel her defences
\ncrumbling. But it\u2019s when she meets Alex, broodingly handsome yet charmingly
\ngallant, that Jules truly knows she\u2019s in trouble. Because Alex has sworn off
\nlove too, and his reasons run deep enough for him to keep his word just as
\nJules is starting to reconsider her resistance to romance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Live your very own Italian dream and let Leonie Mack whisk
\nyou away. Romantic, spell-binding, truly touching and perfect for all fans of
\nJill Mansell, Mandy Baggot and Sarah Morgan.<\/span><\/p>\n

My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jules and Alex’ story as they both were rather intriguing characters with several layers to peel back. In their own way, they are both dealing with heartbreak and issues from the past. The setting in the north of Italy sounds amazing and offers Jules a community and friendship in its own way. Jules is resourceful and determined. People recognise the sincerity behind her actions and respond to her as she wins them round. Slowly she realises that the villagers are being protective of Alex and she can see that the past has hurt him badly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 I found Alex’ family to be likeable and they had an important part to play in his growing friendship with Jules. The chemistry between them is undeniable but you are kept guessing whether they will be able to overcome regrets about the past. For a slow burn romance with lively characters and a touch of humour coming from the two animal members of the household, this is well worth a read.<\/span><\/p>\n

In short:\u00a0 <\/i>can love find a way?
