Publisher's Summary

Escape to the sun and head off to Italy, with the wonderfully warm Leonie Mack!

TV journalist Lou feels battered and bruised after her divorce from Phil, the father of her daughter Edie. Her confidence and sense of fun have steadily been drained away, and she isn’t sure who she is any more. 

When the opportunity arises to accompany Edie on a music camp in Italy for a month in the summer, Lou jumps at the chance for new adventures, new horizons and new friends. The hazy warmth of the summer sun, shining brightly over the stunning Lake Garda, slowly brings Lou back to life. 

Nick Romano, Edie’s music teacher, loves being home in Italy, but coaching his students for their concert in Milan is bringing back difficult memories. His blossoming friendship with Lou is the perfect distraction, although a summer fling would be easier to conduct without the scrutiny of his mother Greta, not to mention the interference of his extended Italian family. 

As the summer passes, full of sunshine and breath-taking scenery, gelato and delicious feasts, Lou and Nick get ever closer. But as the time for farewell creeps up on them, will they be able to say goodbye and leave their memories behind in the Italian sun, or can a summer romance last a lifetime? 

Leonie Mack is back with a sizzling, sun-baked love story, perfect for all fans of Mandy Baggot, Jo Thomas and Carole Matthews.

Boring

It was just missing some thing I don’t know. It was boring and it was hard to stay focused on it.

Loved every minute

I seriously loved this book. It’s a sweet simple story that was just what I was looking for. I could relate well with the feelings of the main character, and I appreciated the lack of unnecessary f-bombs that are so predominant in so many books nowadays. Loved the narrator as well!

Charming and sweet

Here is a story that is for the underdog. It is satisfying, not too angst driven with characters you can cheer for

Cute Story

I liked the plot and story. It’s cute and fun, but to a point. I liked the premise and the description of the setting, and the main ideas, but the main character’s self deprecating wining gets annoying. Everything comes back to her putting herself down. It’s just too much. Other than that it’s a nice by the pool read but there are better out there.

Dull and flat; finished it, but it was a slog

The narrator’s performance is excellent; having listened to other books by this narrator I’m impressed with her ability to do voices and mimic accents.

However, the story is dull and the characters aren’t very interesting. I couldn’t get past just feeling lukewarm about anyone. I never really felt much sparkle between the leads and I still don’t get what they actually like about each other, other than his bum and her hair because neither of them has much personality or actually does anything.

Both main characters are very insecure and the story doesn’t do much to get them past any of it, so therefore it’s hard to get that invested in them. The bounce back and forth between mopey and moody for the most part.

It’s not the worst thing I’ve read, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
