Dreaming of Italy: A stunning and heartwarming holiday romance

This is the second time I have a perused a gentle, sweet, and satisfying read courtesy of T.A. Williams, and both stories featured Brits who were traveling through Italy, and as luck would have it, I adored them both. The storylines were cleverly interconnecting, pleasantly enjoyable, slowly building, and easily relatable, while cast with likable characters I wanted to root for. And oh, what a drudgery, the characters were tasked with scouting locations for a romantic movie to be shot in Italy. The writing style was easy to follow, colorfully descriptive, and flowed smoothly with interesting and amusing little twists and teases to pluck at my curiosity and keep my interest primed. The only problem I encountered was the uptick in my appetite due to mouthwatering descriptions of the sumptuous meals ingested and enjoyed by the lucky characters. I may have gained a few pounds from all that delicious pasta.

Fed up with lockdown? Then a trip to Italy to take in the sights is just the ticket! Emma works in the Hollywood movie industry and whilst her job isn't all about glamour it does have it's moments - and being sent to Italy to scout locations for the next big thing is definitely one of the high spots. When one of the local entourage to assist turns out to get her heart-a-thumping, Emma reminds herself that she doesn't have time for romance - she's a career girl! And it would never work . . . Another cracking read from Trevor Williams! Last month, I 'travelled' round several delightful countries via my reading list, and I was thrilled to begin the month of May in the same vein. With lots of beauty spots off the beaten track, all described in minute detail and including wonderful historical details, I imagine that research was carried out meticulously and, I dare say, much enjoyed! This is a lovely story with a fine cast of characters and set in the most amazing places. As well as getting to know Emma and her story, I feel as if I've had a fabulous Italian trip! This author easily maintains the high standards he set with previous novels whilst bringing a fresh feel to the Italian countryside. A well crafted story with, as always, a labrador popping up on the pages; a feature that I always enjoy in his novels. The whole book flows smoothly and is easily read, with everything all tied up by the final page. An absolute delight to read and fully deserving of all five sparkling stars!
