At the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Lara Foxleigh throws in three coins: one for love, one for marriage and one to return to Rome.
At the Trevi Fountain however she comes across an old man, Samuel, in need of help and becomes his carer, moving into his wonderful old villa and becoming friends where she also meets the handsome Matteo.
But Lara has secrets as does Samuel, secrets that both find a burden.
The beautiful countryside of Tuscany plays an important role in this book. It is a book about love, family and food and it’s a lovely read!
Being in Tuscany helps Lara heal but she realises that as much as she needs to be there, Samuel needs her just as much and the relationship that blossoms between them is so heartwarming.
Josephine handles the domestic abuse and violence brilliantly, along with the mental health issues and though that part of the story is heartbreaking, Lara comes out stronger with the support of her family and a man who shows her that men can be good and kind and love her for herself.
But can I just say ... oh my god, THE FOOD.
Having been to Italy once before I can 100% confirm that Italian food is mouthwatering and the amount of cheese mentioned in this book quite frankly made me really hungry and want to visit Italy again!
I clearly need to pick up more books by this author!
