My Review:
I am very excited to have spot on the blogtour for ‘A Very Italian Wedding’ by the funny and talented Donna Ashcroft.
The characters are fun, complex and I love how they develop.
The story is told from different perspectives. We get a a sense of their individual quirks.
Rose the bridesmaid meets Ben the best man on the plane to Italy.
Their friends Luna and Marco are getting married and they have only been together a matter of weeks.
Ben is excited and Rose is not! Being a therapist she sees many red flags. Luna has been her friend since they were 8.
Add Coco the dog to the mix, and its evident whom she likes more.
Arriving to a number of issues and detours, and flamboyant Italian aunt Aurora and her metaphysical predictions and ways and other fun characters.
I had laugh out loud moments and enjoyed the set up. Can you really fall in love at first sight?
You will have to join me in diving in, you won’t regret it. X

About the Book:
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?
