‘Secrets on the Italian Island’ by T.A. Williams is a romantic comedy that is such a fun read, it was just the light-hearted read I needed.
Her work has got in the way of relationships before – but never like this.
Anna’s job as a geologist takes her all over the world, including to the beautiful island of Elba, where she’s sent to look for precious metals. And the island isn’t the only gorgeous thing – she can’t believe her luck when she meets windsurfer Marco and sparks fly. But Anna must keep her role on Elba a secret to avoid upsetting the locals, which means lying to Marco even as they grow closer. When her old friend Toby visits, Anna suddenly finds herself torn between the attentions of the two men. However, Anna’s not the only one keeping secrets.
Is Marco being entirely honest with her? And why did Toby really come to visit?
This was a fabulous book and with Elba as the setting, I felt like I was at least in a gorgeous place for the length of time I was with Anna. She has a job that allows her to travel abroad in the hunt for precious metals. She is beginning to think that her career is hindering her from having a relationship. Two men are interested in her, a gorgeous Italian windsurfer and Jack, an older man who regals her with tales from his own travels and job. I loved watching this relationship developing.
A book that is not just a light fluffy read with a gorgeous setting. There are secrets abound, not just on the island but being held by the characters and as the story unfolds it adds another dimension as they are revealed. Part of a series but I read this with no issues and now I want to read the rest when I am able!
Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources, Canelo and Netgalley for the copy of the book to give you my unbiased thoughts.
