Avid_Reader_London (UK) - 2 June 2008 tell me something Elizabeth has wanted two things her entire life to keep her happy and fulfilled - an Italian husband and lots of rosy-cheeked bambini. The first is ticked off, now she's bagged dark and sexy Roberto, the second is proving harder to achieve. But when Roberto loses his job and decides to leave London for romantic Italy and the family business, Elizabeth hopes the change in lifestyle might help her relax and boost her chances of conceiving their longed for child. Except, no matter how much ice cream she eats in the sun drenched piazza, it's impossible to relax when her wily mother-in-law (the original black widow) seems hell bent on destroying her marriage. The language barrier is proving tricky too, as is Roberto's beautiful, significant ex who practically lives next door. Is Elizabeth's ferocious hunger for a baby enough to hold a marriage together or is it ripping it apart? And why is she suddenly craving the company of a gorgeous, blonde American stranger? Her filthy, flirty thoughts about him are totally inappropriate. Yet, undeniably, temperatures are rising.... "Another gem from Parks" 5/5 - heat "Another witty and honest book from Parks" - Company "Upfront fun" - Woman & Home Book of the Month - Cosmopolitan ... Read Full Review » |

D. E. Kearns "Diana" (UK) - 28 June 2008 A story that every girl can relate to, especially where evil mother-in-laws come in. Just when Elizabeth thinks she has everything she needs it is all turned on its head. She already has her handsome Italian husband but numerous attempts at conceiving the babies, that Elizabeth so desperately wants, has pushed him into the arms of his ex leaving Elizabeth to fend for herself. Following a move to the country she loves, Italy, Elizabeth finds that it is not all its cracked up to be and the language barrier is proving difficult. In a search to give her life some meaning and get away from her disapproving mother-in-law, Elizabeth enlists the help of a handsome American language teacher. He becomes a very close friend, but Elizabeth secretly wants more. Torn between making her marriage work against all odds or falling into the arms of her American friend, Elizabeth has to search her heart. A wonderful happy ending. Romance is not dead!...

K. Crooks "Book Honey" (Yorkshire, England) - 2 August 2008 After reading all of Adele Parks other novels I looked forward to taking this on holiday - boy was I wrong. This is complete trash. Elizabeth is silly and needs a dam good shake. Throughout the story Elizabeth is criticised for her stereo typical views... ehh hmm? Evil mother in law, dashing American, moody Italian... yawn. Go and spend your holiday money on a nice cold beer and look at the sea. That would be money well spent.... Read Full Review » |
| 5 / 5 | This is a terrific page-turner, I lost a whole Saturday afternoon!
HelenMc "helen6518" (UK) - 18 June 2008 This is a tremendous read - one that I thoroughly enjoyed and have to recommend. The setting takes you away from grey old England and into a fantastically well described village in Italy. Buy it - but make sure you've got enough time to get lost in it. More please Ms Parks! |
