Review: From Italy with Love

✩✩✩✩

Home-loving Laurie thinks she’s happy – she has a safe, reliable boyfriend and working in her local library is what she thought she always wanted. That is until she inherits a vintage Ferrari from her eccentric Uncle Miles and the conditions of the inheritance are far from simple. To keep the car Laurie will have to drive across Europe with the gorgeous but unreliable Cameron Matthews as her guide… and Cam’s motives for helping are not all that altruistic.

Cam isn’t particularly thrilled about escorting his late pal Miles’ dull mouse of a niece on this wild goose chase but all he has to do is get Laurie safely to Italy and he’s sure the Ferrari is his.

But Uncle Miles had a few tricks up his sleeve and the route he’s planned takes Cam and Laurie on a road trip they’ll never forget. From sampling the delights of the Loire Valley to the breathtaking beauty of Lake Garda, this is one journey that has more twists and turns than either of them could ever have imagined…

Genre: contemporary romance

Publication date: October 2019

Mature content: yes

Review: From Italy with Love is a funny, feel good romance, with the added bonus of a trip across Europe in a fast, one of a kind classical car. The plot is fairly original, if a little bit predictable, and all characters are great, even the less likeable ones like Laurie's mother or her estranged ex-fiancee.

 

The only thing I didn't like was the fact that Laurie did drive partly across Europe without a valid driver's license. She shouldn't have, and at the very least she should have let Cam know about what he was getting into. It's clear she knows how to drive, but she could have gotten herself (and Cam) into a lot of trouble. She was lucky, but I still didn't think it was a great message to pass on.

Otherwise, it's a great book and will leave you with a smile on your face. Recommended.

Happy readings!
