Dreaming of Italy by T.A. Williams.


Today I am excited to take part in the publication day push for the new, romantic and sunshine filled release from T.A. Williams. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to take part in this, and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. 




Book Description

Up for a dream promotion, Emma won’t let anything get in her way – not even love.

Working for a major Hollywood film company isn’t all glitz and glam. But when Emma gets sent to tour around Italy to scout the perfect location for a new blockbuster movie, she’s not going to complain. Especially when it could make or break her career…
Historical adviser Mark is a distraction that Emma does not need. As they explore the beauty of Italy, though, Emma starts to fall for the mysterious historian, finding herself torn between her job and her heart.
From the wild, northern mountains of Piedmont, down the vibrant coast of Cinque Terre and through the rolling hills of Tuscany, Emma’s journey becomes one of self-discovery as she questions her priorities in life.
This heartwarming story of romance and redemption is the perfect read for fans of Tilly Tennant, Holly Martin and Daisy James.





My Review
This is such a wonderful read that will have you dreaming of sunshine and blue skies. 
Emma is delighted to have been given the opportunity to head to the fantastic country of Italy, to try and scout out the perfect scenes for the latest movie from her Hollywood film production company that she works for. 
This film is said to be a Hollywood blockbuster and Emma is determined to prove that she is more that capable of doing the task she has been set. If she does well with the then it could mean a big promotion for her and the job of her dreams. 
She has been asked to take Richard along with her. Richard is the son of her her boss and Emma has been asked to show him the ropes so he can have a good idea of what Emma does. 
When the pair of them arrive they are met by Marina who is to be their tour guide while in Italy, showing them all of the sites they could need for the movie. 
They are also joined on their journey through Italy by the incredibly handsome historian, Mark. 
As the foursome head through the idyllic surroundings of Italy Emma feels she is falling for Mark. This is not a distraction she needs during this time as she needs to concentrate on her work. It does however become clear the more time they spend the more difficult this will become. 
At the end of their trip with decisions to be made, will Emma decide to go with her heart or her head?
This is such a wonderful read that will take on a scenic journey as you follow the group through Italy. 
It is clear as you read just how important the Emma's job is to her and why she is so determined to get her promotion. You also see why she would be keen to keep Mark at arms length to keep her focused. This does become difficult at times for her. 
Mark obviously has had some heartache in his past, as at times there are things that he does not want to share with Emma. I do love the relationship he has with his faithful dog too.
 I enjoyed getting to know all of the characters from within this book. They all play a part in the romance for Emma and Mark but also bring some of their own issues too. 
The setting of this book sounds exquisite and does give you a real insight into the history of the areas of Italy they visited. 
This book is the perfect read for some escapism at the moment meaning you can travel and experience all that Italy has to offer without leaving your own home. 
This is a great addition to the collection from T.A. Williams.
