Dreaming of Rome

Rome is where the heart is… The heartwarming read of the summer

Jo has had enough of handsome men. After a painful break-up, she’s decided she doesn’t believe in love.

Then, while on a professional trip to the magical city of Rome, she meets Corrado, a scientist and her brother-in-law to be, who doesn’t believe in love either. To him, it’s just a biochemical reaction. So what’s the problem?

Well, he’s gorgeous for a start, as well as charming, generous, intelligent and attentive, and she feels herself immediately falling for him, despite her new outlook.

The majesty of the Eternal City brings them ever closer together. But is their relationship doomed, or will love conquer all?

Heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measure, Dreaming of Rome is a joyous and uplifting read from T.A. Williams, perfect for fans of Holly Martin, Tilly Tennant and Jenny Oliver

                                                                              
                                                                             

T.A. Williams lives in Devon with his Italian wife. He was born in England of a Scottish mother and Welsh father. After a degree in modern languages at Nottingham University, he lived and worked in Switzerland, France and Italy, before returning to run one of the best-known language schools in the UK. He’s taught Arab princes, Brazilian beauty queens and Italian billionaires. He speaks a number of languages and has travelled extensively. He has eaten snake, still-alive fish, and alligator. A Spanish dog, a Russian bug and a Korean parasite have done their best to eat him in return. His hobby is long-distance cycling, but his passion is writing.

My Review

Every book by this author is a dream to read. The easy-going style immediately transports the reader to another world with lavish descriptions of the local food and scenery. Although romance is at the heart of each book, there is also the romance of the country, the language and the different culture. With both our heroine and hero having sworn off love, the reader can see that they are instantly drawn to each other even if they are both in denial. With their careers taking them in different directions and the potential problems of being in-laws should it all go wrong, it's hard to see how these two can find true love. Just when things get a little intense, there is a jolt of humour to lift the mood. Will Rome be the home of love for these two? You'll have to read it to find out.
