Kathyrn Freeman is one of my favoutite romance / romcom writers and I am delighted to be part of the celebrations for her latest novel, The Italian Job. Published by One More Chapter on May 6th, I am also thrilled to be able to offer you the chance to win a paperback copy. Details on how to enter this giveaway are at the foot of this post.
Dream job. Dream house. Fake fiancé.
A year in a gorgeous Italian castle…
When Anna Roberts’ life implodes, an online search leads her
to an ad for the ultimate dream job – management of a gorgeous castle on the
shores of Lake Como, accommodation included. The only catch? Anna can’t do it
alone…
…With the last man on earth she’d choose!
The castle owners will only accept a couple as caretakers,
which means Anna needs a man on her arm at the interview. Enter her neighbour,
Jake Tucker. Though Anna and Jake have never seen eye-to-eye, Jake’s had a
rough few years and an escape to Italy sounds ideal. Yet, when they get the job
and jet off, Anna and Jake face an unexpected challenge. Pretending to be a
couple is difficult … but pretending the tension simmering between them doesn’t
exist is quickly proving impossible!
My Thoughts
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip to Italy, to all the sun and scenery at the villa where Anna and Jake work. You can sense the chemistry between them from the start but their repartee will make you smile. Anna is nursing a broken heart and the loss of her job and home. Knowing Jake's background, you are wary of him at first, but you soon see his dep love for his family and his loyalty to them.
Kathryn creates some lively characters who take the couple as they find them and who welcome them into the community. There are also one or two people who you do not take to but they move the story on and add to the fun. This is well up to Kathryn's high standard of storytelling and provides the perfect weekend read.
In short: romance under the Italian sunshine
About the Author
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to write a
book. It may have had something to do with my obsession with reading romance.
Real life interfered and I headed off in a different direction – into the world
of science, becoming a pharmacist before joining the pharmaceutical industry. I
did end up writing, but it was about disease and medicines. Decades later, I’m
finally doing what I always wanted to do.
With a husband who asks every Valentine's Day whether he has
to buy a card (yes, he does), all the romance in my life is in my head. Then
again, his unstinting support of my career change proves love isn't always
about hearts and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises.
Thanks to Kathryn Freeman, One More Chapter and Rachel of Rachel's Random Resources for a copy of the book and a place on the tour.
