Thanks to Bookouture Books and NetGalley for my gifted ebook in exchange for my honest review on the tour.

Escape to Italy, to golden sand and a glittering sea, to wedding bells chiming in a tiny hilltop town… Can Rose heal the heartbreak from her past, and take a chance on love?

As the sun sets over a villa in Tuscany, an engagement party is in full swing. The bride-to-be gazes up at her groom, her glass of prosecco glinting in the evening light as she toasts their happy future; but as Rose watches her best friend Luna swoon over her handsome new fiancé, she can’t help feeling worried. Life has taught Rose that love ends in heartbreak, and all she wants is to protect herself and Luna. That’s why she came up with her Rules for Love: follow these and happiness is guaranteed.

Only Luna is breaking all the rules. She only met Marco a month ago. Rose is sure that love at first sight isn’t real… until she sets eyes on Ben, the best man. Towering above her, with tousled blonde hair and wide, powerful shoulders, he’s irritatingly charming, relentlessly positive and insists that love really can conquer all. Rose’s head is in a spin.

She has learned to never open her heart, never to trust, but Ben is becoming harder to resist…

Will breaking the rules end with Rose breaking her heart? Or will the magic of Italy bring her the happy ending she’s always dreamed of?

My Review

A perfect summer read for when you live in the UK, and it’s throwing it down with rain…as usual! A Very Italian Wedding grabbed my attention with its stunning cover and a blurb that could attract the most hardened of hearts!

We meet Rose, whose best friend, Luna, is getting married in Tuscany. On the way to Tuscany to be her bridesmaid, she finds she is sat next to Ben, the best man! Rose is worried about Luna and her groom, Marco, because they are getting married so rapidly. They have only been together a few weeks, and this goes against Rose’s set of rules she follows even for her profession as a love doctor.

Such a lovely, vivid romance. The setting of Tuscany in Italy wooed me so easily. The characters all made this story even better. I could definitely understand why Luna fell for him, for sure. The eccentricity of Marco’s Aunt Aurora had me in stitches. I had a whale of a time reading this. It is heartwarming and funny while still dealing with serious things, too.

My first Donna Ashcroft romance, but not my last! Such an adorable story! Well created characters, beautiful settings, and full of romance, what more could you want?
