An Escape To Remember


 An Escape to Remember

She needed a getaway. What she found was a home.

When Louise surprises her boyfriend by returning early from a work trip, safe to say she wasn’t expecting to see him in flagrante delicto with another woman. Heart-torn and vowing to stay away from men, when Louise’s next project involves restoring an ageing hotel in Italy, she leaps at the chance to get away.

Managed by a crew of sextagenarians, the Grand Hotel del Monferrato needs all the love and care Louise can give it. But it’s hard to stay focused on the job when her thoughts keep straying to Vito, the reclusive and mysterious neighbour.

With his tragic past and her no-romance policy, Louise knows they can’t have a future. Yet something keeps pulling the two together…

A beautiful romance set in the hills of Turin

Author Bio –




I’m a man. And a pretty old man as well. I did languages at university a long time ago and then lived and worked in France and Switzerland before going to Italy for seven years as a teacher of English. My Italian wife and I then came back to the UK with our little daughter (now long-since grown up) where I ran a big English language school for many years. We now live in a sleepy little village in Devonshire. I’ve been writing almost all my life but it was only seven years ago that I finally managed to find a publisher who liked my work enough to offer me my first contract.

The fact that I am now writing escapist romance is something I still find hard to explain. My early books were thrillers and historical novels. Maybe it’s because there are so many horrible things happening in the world today that I feel I need to do my best to provide something to cheer my readers up. My books provide escapism to some gorgeous locations, even if travel to them is currently difficult.

My review

Trevor's books always ofer a welcome escape and what could be better than a few hours spent with some amazing characters in a delightful location? Descriptions of wonderful Italian delicacies perhaps? Tick. A slow-burning romance? Tick. A dark, moody hero with a hidden past? Tick. This book is a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds, limited only by your imagination. Thank you for transporting me to the hills of Turin; a destination that will hopefully become a reality before too long.

My Review


I love books with a great sense of place and if that place happens to be Greece then so much the better. In this case the reader is transported to the island of Skopelos and after reading this book, I have just added another island to my wishlist.

Putting the setting aside, the friction between Harper and her mum, the renowned film director works well, as does the on/off relationship between Harper and Tyler. It is her meeting with the local taverna owner and his son, however, that begins to explore the real themes of the book.

I really enjoyed this book and the chance to revisit my beloved Greece, albeit vicariously. In these difficult times, this precious gift is one I cling to.
