Dreaming of Tuscany: The unputdownable feel-good read of the year

When I have a new novel from author T. A. Williams' in my tbr list, I know I'm in for a sumptuous treat - and I'm never disappointed. Beatrice wakes up in a hospital with no memory of why she is there; discovering she's been out of it for several days comes almost as big a shock as the injuries she has sustained. When the film company she has been working for offers a summer of convalescence in a secluded villa in the Tuscan countryside, with a top Hollywood star for company, Bee realises it will give her the time and space she needs to recover. It's not until she gets there that she realises the people will play it's part too. This is a delicious read; I doubt anyone could read it and not dream of spending a summer in these wonderful surroundings! Of course, it would have to include this author's trademark black labrador - in this novel, Romeo, who exhibits every single trait of this wonderful breed. The story has lots happening and is a delightful read. The setting is idyllic and the luscious food descriptions make me want to rush out to my nearest Italian restaurant. The complete package is, as always, a wonderfully written novel which left me with a sigh of contentment and a warm glow. I must mention the book cover which gives a hint of what's to come inside; beautifully created and makes me long for summer to arrive. I'm already looking forward to the next offering from one of my favourite authors! No less than five plump, shiny stars will do. My thanks to publishers Canelo for my copy via NetGalley. This is my honest, original and unbiased review.

I can't wait to read what happens next!
