Happy Publication Day to TA Williams for the third in his
Love from Italy series,A Chance in a Million.
Fate
brought them together, now it’s up to them to make it work…
Having
left the army to recover from a traumatic experience, Captain Jane Reed is on
her way to Venice to assist Lady Veronica Cooper, a world-famous writer who has
lost her mojo. Plagued by grief and sleepless nights, Jane soon finds a kindred
spirit in Veronica, coping with her own loss after the death of her husband.
When the
two relocate to Veronica’s villa in the countryside to escape the summer
tourists, Jane meets the rest of the Cooper family – including Veronica’s
brooding son, David. With his own tragic past, David has resigned himself to a
life of solitude. Jane finds herself determined to bring joy back into his
life, even if it means finally spilling her secrets.
Can Jane
and David help each other heal, and find love in the process, or are some scars
too deep to treat?
My Thoughts
Gorgeous scenery, lively characters with interesting back stories, a lot of romance and an adorable labrador. Yes it has to be another novel by TA Williams! This story is set in and near Venice and you feel the place come alive as you travel with Jane along the canals and through the countryside. Jane and David both have elements of their past which resonate and there is a spark from the start. They both need to heal after traumatic events and there seems to be something special in the venetian air.
Family is important with David's supportive relatives helping Jane too to move on. All the people Jane meets come alive on the page, especially his grandmother who I can totally visualise. Jane is a thoroughly likeable character who shows courage as she fights the demons from her past. You always feel hopeful that she will be able to this. She is also without vanity and certainly does not take anything at face value but can look beneath the surface to appreciate people's finer points. Well worth a read, it is always good to escape from the present with a TA Williams romance.
In short: love in Venice
About the Author
I’m a man. And a pretty old man as well. I did languages at
university a long time ago and then lived and worked in France and Switzerland
before going to Italy for seven years as a teacher of English. My Italian wife
and I then came back to the UK with our little daughter (now long-since grown
up) where I ran a big English language school for many years. We now live in a
sleepy little village in Devonshire. I’ve been writing almost all my life but
it was only seven years ago that I finally managed to find a publisher who
liked my work enough to offer me my first contract.
The fact that I am now writing escapist romance is something
I still find hard to explain. My early books were thrillers and historical
novels. Maybe it’s because there are so many horrible things happening in the
world today that I feel I need to do my best to provide something to cheer my
readers up. My books provide escapism to some gorgeous locations, even if
travel to them is currently difficult.
