Dreaming of Tuscany by T.A. Williams

After a horrific accident on the Siena, Italy set of a movie on which she’s serving as a consultant, historian Bee Kingdom wakes from a coma in the hospital with a shaved head and some serious injuries. At the request of the production company, she and the film’s star, Mimi Robertson, who was also slightly injured, are sent to recoup in an isolated Tuscan villa. Over the course of a summer, Bee falls in love: with the countryside and its historic sites, a lovely black Labrador named Romeo, the friendly employees and neighbors on the estate, and an emotionally damaged estate manager named Luke. When the summer and her recuperation come to an end and she’s offered a new job far away, will she choose her career or the chance for love?

Williams has written a lovely, light romantic novel that should leave all of his readers “Dreaming of Tuscany.” His luscious descriptions of Italy, including its rich history, delicious food, and warm people paint a vivid picture of paradise. There’s nothing emotionally wrenching or earth-shattering about the book; just a fun story that leaves readers ready to book a trip to Italy themselves. Bella Italia!
