One of my favorite SEP books! The scenic descriptions of Italy made me feel like I was right there. There were some silly parts to this book, but the romance was sizzling and I didn't want this book to end!

What a great book set in Italy about psychologist Isabel who loses everything - money, fiancée, reputation then meets actor Lorenzo (Ren) who always plays the villain. This story had humor, steam and even mystery. I enjoyed the witty banter, the moral messages and the dramatic ending.

I am such a fan of Susan Elizabeth Phillips! She is a master at what she does. She manages to make romance stories that are both emotional and funny.

Romance novel in the genre of "Under the Tuscany Sun". Isabel is interesting but Lorenzo "Ren" Gage is a walking cliché. This book is like when you have a huge craving for a big bag of potatoes chips (whatever is your favorite flavor: mine is sea salt and pepper) and make your way thru the entire ba...

With Isabel, the heroine of this story, we get the familiar SEP character arc of a woman who reaches rock bottom only to come back out on top both personally and through her romance with the hero. And in Ren, the hero, we get one of her wonderfully drawn alpha heroes. I love the fact that he is an ...
