Synopsis:

On the shores of Lake Garda, a beautiful romance unfolds. But is it only for the summer?

Sophia Bertoni discovers her boyfriend in bed with another woman, and realises her life is going no where. Leaving her high-pressure job, she travels to Italy to stay with her grandmother while she figures out her next move.

When Sophia - quite literally - bumps into devastatingly handsome Joe Lancaster her plans are turned upside down. As the two realise they're both spending the summer in the same town, a love affair seems on the cards.

But Sophia and Joe are both burdened by family secrets. Despite their attraction, will the sun set on Sophia and Joe's romance - or will they find love at the Italian lake?

------------------------------

Another beautifully romantic story by Darcie Boleyn. This book really had me wanting the best for main character Sophia. Straight from the start this novel hit it off for me - I found it intriguing and I couldn't put it down. The characters were all so interesting and lovely and I was wishing I was in Italy too!

The story follows Sophia as she flies to Italy to the beautiful Lake Garda (and it is described so, so beautifully as well), to get some time away from her London life. Along the way Sophia meets some new friends, a potential love interest and finds out a huge secret that has been hidden from her and her family for years.

This is a beautifully heartwarming story about love, friendship and family. It is everything that you would want for a summer romance book and I found it really enjoyable. The characters were all really lovely and you find yourself connecting with them all - and as Darcie describes the setting and the food - it also makes you fall in love with Italy!

Thank you to Netgalley and to the publisher for a chance to read this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.
