I couldn't put it down。 If you are a historic fiction fanatic， then this novel is the one for you！ The first page had me hooked and the words were so well written。 I would definitely recommend reading this， because it is full of twists and turns while getting attached he'd to the characters。 It was easy to follow the transition from present day to the 1960's。 If you are a Lucinda Riley fan， then this is a must read！ I couldn't put it down。 If you are a historic fiction fanatic， then this novel is the one for you！ The first page had me hooked and the words were so well written。 I would definitely recommend reading this， because it is full of twists and turns while getting attached he'd to the characters。 It was easy to follow the transition from present day to the 1960's。 If you are a Lucinda Riley fan， then this is a must read！ 。。。more

Such a quick and powerful read about love and its consequences both positive and negative。 After initially thinking it would be a fru-fru blah blah shallow story， it ended up being an interesting story with depth to it。 Definitely worth the read！

If you are looking for a good book to read on the beach this summer， this is the book for you。 When I started reading， I didn’t know what to expect， but I soon found that this is a fantastic novel。 The story held my interest throughout。 It’s full of mystery， drama and a true love story。 The author is unique in that she covered all the bases and left nothing unsaid。 She completes the story。 I could hardly put the book down。

A "beach read" and basically a love story （with a bit of steamy action now and again） but what I liked was the beautiful description of the winery in Tuscany - the fields of grapes， the buildings， the countryside， the tours and the wine！ Enjoyable！ A "beach read" and basically a love story （with a bit of steamy action now and again） but what I liked was the beautiful description of the winery in Tuscany - the fields of grapes， the buildings， the countryside， the tours and the wine！ Enjoyable！ 。。。more

Overall， this is a good story。 There are some factual errors， though， that really put me off。The red wine of Montepulciano is Vino Nobile de Montepulciano。 Brunello is the wine of Montalcino。 No one confuses the two。 Wines of this region do not include merlot or syrah grapes。 White wines are not produced here。If you are in Tallahassee， you cannot be at a Gulf beach。When you enter the Piazza in Montepulciano and arein front of the town hall， the church is on your left。These are small things unles Overall， this is a good story。 There are some factual errors， though， that really put me off。The red wine of Montepulciano is Vino Nobile de Montepulciano。 Brunello is the wine of Montalcino。 No one confuses the two。 Wines of this region do not include merlot or syrah grapes。 White wines are not produced here。If you are in Tallahassee， you cannot be at a Gulf beach。When you enter the Piazza in Montepulciano and arein front of the town hall， the church is on your left。These are small things unless you have been to these places。 Then they are glaring errors。 Since the author States she had been to Tuscany， there is no excuse for them。 。。。more

What an unexpectedly good book。 I found it on my list and started reading it。 Couldn’t put it down。 What a good story。 I have been reading a lot of family history Novels lately and thought this was another。 It turned out to be a surprise。 Not a who am I but a discover who I am book and how love and family fit it。 Good job

A very good read！I was pleasantly surprised by the storyline itself。 It is so good to read a current author who relies on the story itself。。。 and not on gimmicks or sorted sex scenes。 There was enough mystery to keep your attention。 The characters well developed as the story moved forward。。。 but the themes of REAL love and TRUE forgiveness， are to me， what makes the book so good！

I enjoyed this story very much。 The author transports you to Tuscany and her description of the Tuscan countryside is spot on。 It felt like I was actually visiting Tuscany。 When Fiona receives a phone call from a lawyer telling her that her biological father has passed away and left her a fortune in Tuscany。 So， Fiona hops the next flight to Tuscany。 When she meets with the family who knew nothing about her， they contest the Will。 The twists and turns of the plot were very engaging。

Great readThough I knew exactly where the story was headed， I enjoyed it。 The story just flows。 It also intensified my desire to go to Tuscany。

Good wine， good readI loved the two stories and the skillful intertwining of the past and the present。 The descriptions of the scenery， the food， and the joie de vivre found in Tuscany made me want to go enjoy them myself。
