Gemma Jericho is an overworked New York doctor with a handful of a teenaged daughter and a meddlesome mother. So when her mother receives a letter of a mysterious inheritance in Tuscany, Gemma sees her chance. She throws caution to the wind and the three leave for Italy.

What they encounter in Tuscany is a crumbling old villa and a town divided. Half of the residents believe that Ben Raphael, another American, is the rightful inheritor of the villa. As cultures clash, gossip soars, and intrigue unfolds, Gemma is caught up in the most disturbingâ??and deliciousâ??trouble she's ever had… (more)

Mediocre at best. Very lousy sex scenes that were completely pointless to the plot. slow going. Very stereotypical in terms of assuming that women say make love. We don't we say sex. because that is what it is. I would give it 1.5 if that existed. ( )

Fun book with great descriptions of Tuscany! ( )

Adler writes fun romantic chick-lit. Improbable plots, but who cares. They are great for the beach or vacation anywhere ( )
  BookConcierge | Feb 26, 2016 |
Nice descriptions of the scenery and food in Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast, but otherwise, quite dreadful. ( )

Predictable romance story. I did enjoy the Italian scenery and lifestyle descriptions, the author excels in this area. I wanted a mindless read and that is what this book is. ( )

Tuscany...Vineyard-covered hills, silvery olive groves, fields of dazzling sunflowers, old pastel-colored villas and ancient stone villages, cool archways flashed with sunlight, and the village of Bella Piacere on the crest of the hill. Paradise...
