Escape to the Tuscan Vineyard by Carrie Walker #Review #HolidayRomanceBook2
I am happy to feature a gorgeous summer read, Carrie Walker's, Escape to the Tuscan Vineyard. It was published by Aria on May 23rd.
Pack your bags and uncork the laughter in this delightful
romantic escapade!
After getting her heart broken in her early twenties, Abi
Mason vowed to live by a simple (but non-negotiable) rule: no second dates. Who
needs a boyfriend, or anything else for that matter, when you have a career to
think about?
But life has other plans: with some unexpected time on her
hands, Abi finds herself on holiday in Tuscany. Among sun-dappled vineyards and
olive groves, Abi meets dashing American Tony, and it seems the universe is
conspiring to force her out of her comfort zone...
If Abi can break her own rules, could this unexpected Italian fling lead her to a happiness she never dared to dream of?
My Thoughts
The Tuscan countryside stands proudly at the centre of this delightful story where it weaves its magic on a couple of work obsessed strangers. Abi is still nursing a broken heart after a traumatic relationship and has built a shell around herself so that her strict regime keeps her safe from further harm - or so she hopes. It is as if part of her life has stood still and she has filled the vacuum in her life with a busy schedule of yoga, family, friends and most of all work. Forced to slow down, Abi finds herself visiting her dearest friend and as she meets the locals, her life seems to open up, slowly but surely.
There are some lovely characters in the story. Life on the vineyard is idyllic and Abi makes some lasting friendships. It is an uplifting story with humour added and goes along at a pace. As an escapist romcom, it can't be beaten but there are some important messages within about slowing down and savouring the moment as life can be short. Full of the sounds and colour of Tuscany, you are taken on a trip there with Abi and I loved the descriptions of all that gorgeous sounding Italian food.
In short: a great holiday read
