Here in the Pacific Northwest, we had the week of what we call ‘the false spring’. We had a week of sunny and 65 degree weather and then—boom, it was back to 40 and raining worse than ever! It’s always this time of year when I long for the sun on my face and some warmer, longer days. In February and early March that is my prime time for what I call the ‘warm reads’. You know, the books that are set on warm sunny beaches or in this case, set on the Italian rivera!
This book cover is eye catching with its sunny skies and sparkling blue water, and it certainly fits the bill for my ‘warm reads’ criteria! I couldn’t fit this one into my review schedule but this one sounds positively delightful! The cover is striking and eye catching and the title enticed me with it’s ‘secret love letters’ part! I instantly wanted to know what was in said love letters and what made them secret! But this book promises more than just a warm location to escape to and some mystery love letters—-it sounds like it’s going to be an epic story of love and family mixed with some emotion. So if you are looking for an emotional read this spring this might be it!
Author Jennifer Probst has written a number of best selling romances, books, and series! She is a well established author with a large following of fans. Clearly she knows how to craft well written stories, characters, and romances. I am so excited to check this one out a little later this year. But for now if you are looking for your net hot read be sure to consider this one! It is already getting rave reviews so be sure to add it to your TBR list and be watching for a review from me in the future!
Summary
A secret romance sends three estranged sisters to the Amalfi Coast to follow clues about their mother’s past, and challenges them to a whole new future, in this emotional novel from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.
Priscilla, Devon, and Bailey haven’t been close in years, but when the sisters are forced to come together to settle their mother’s estate, they discover a secret. In an old trunk, they happen upon ownership papers for a house on the Amalfi Coast, along with a love letter to their mother from an anonymous man, promising to meet her in Italy during the summer of her sixty-fifth birthday.
Now they’re questioning everything they knew about her history. In order to get answers about the woman they thought they knew, they’ll have to go back to where it all started. The sisters embark on a trip to the stunning cliffside village of Positano, Italy, to track down the mysterious ex-lover, and figure out who their mother really was.
As Priscilla, Devon, and Bailey unearth the truth, they also experience the magic of Italy, the power of sisterly love, a little unexpected romance, and newfound hope for the future. (summary from Goodreads)
