I am delighted to welcome TA Williams' latest novel, Dreaming of Rome to the blog today. A new novel by TAWilliams is always a highlight for me.
Rome is where the heart is… The heartwarming read of the
summer
Jo has had enough of handsome men. After a painful break-up,
she’s decided she doesn’t believe in love.
Then, while on a professional trip to the magical city of
Rome, she meets Corrado, a scientist and her brother-in-law to be, who doesn’t
believe in love either. To him, it’s just a biochemical reaction. So what’s the
problem?
Well, he’s gorgeous for a start, as well as charming,
generous, intelligent and attentive, and she feels herself immediately falling
for him, despite her new outlook.
The majesty of the Eternal City brings them ever closer
together. But is their relationship doomed, or will love conquer all?
Heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measure, Dreaming of
Rome is a joyous and uplifting read from T.A. Williams, perfect for fans of
Holly Martin, Tilly Tennant and Jenny Oliver
My Thoughts
The beautiful city of Rome takes centre stage in this latest TA Williams romance and there are some lovely descriptions of the buildings there. Set against all this antiquity, there are some up to the minute themes around conservation and the environment. In Jo and Corrado, you have two switched on central characters, who are intelligent and interested in the world around them. I love Jo's passion for butterflies which fits with her other interests.
No TA Willams' book is complete without a black labrador and I do think that Daisy manages to steal most scenes she is in. With her love of water, food and sleeping, she seems spot on, a true labrador. This is a lovely warm book which I was loathe to put down. It is great read for the Summer and a real escape to a wonderful location.
In short: Can romance flourish with this scientific pair?
