Story
When Serena is kicked out of her flat, an offer from her friend, Taylor, to house sit for her while she and her husband go travelling could not be better timing. But unfortunately for Serena she’s not the only one to have received this offer. Enter Ziggy: arrogant, messy musician, and friend of Taylor’s husband. Living with him is far from ideal, especially when he claims the best room, has loud parties - and the least said about his kitchen manner the better. There's just one solution for Serena – drive him out of the house by being twice as difficult to live with than he is!

Story
Life just got a whole lot more complicated for 38-year-old single mum Liv. Her son, Jake, is practically perfect in every way, but he’s started asking some difficult questions, and the answers lie in a holiday romance 20 years ago. Back when Liv was staying with her aunt on the French Riviera... Returning to the Cote d’Azur, with its white sandy beaches, her supportive aunt, and exquisite wine and cheese is harder than it sounds, though. Because - if she’s going to give Jake the answers he needs - Liv knows she has to hunt down her first love, Andre.

Small, shy, safe. That’s how Becky lives ever since her last romantic calamity landed her in hospital. Her comfort zone is as confining as her tiny bank balance and fiercely guarded by her totally over-the-top mum. But the news that her ex is back sniffing round is the final straw. In a very un-Becky move, she packs her bags for the Greek island of Skiathos. When sizzling-hot restaurant-owner Kyros asks her to stay longer, Becky is stunned. Could she really create a new life for herself here and trust her heart with this smooth-talking charmer?

After a work party gone disastrously wrong, Samantha suddenly finds herself jobless and jilted. So when her sister invites Sam to stay at her little whitewashed farmhouse on a Greek island, Sam leaps at the chance to escape. Before long, she’s trundling up the cobbled driveway, almost colliding with sexy neighbour Spyros. It isn’t all sunshine and smiles though.

Jo has had enough of handsome men. After a painful breakup, she’s decided she doesn’t believe in love. Then, while on a professional trip to the magical city of Rome, she meets Corrado, a scientist and her brother-in-law to be, and he doesn’t believe in love, either. To him, it’s just a biochemical reaction. So what’s the problem? Well, he’s gorgeous for a start, as well as charming, generous, intelligent, and attentive, and she feels herself immediately falling for him, despite her new outlook.
Publisher's Summary
After losing the love of her life in a tragic accident, 30-year-old Gina is struggling. Running her little guesthouse in the hills of the Lake District keeps her going, but her heart isn’t in it anymore.
When new guest Fabio Garcia arrives, Gina feels a spark that reminds her she’s alive. He’s tall, dark, but with startling blue eyes and makes her laugh, for the first time in...forever. Guilt holds her back, but friends, and a glass (or three) of wine, push her into his arms.
It’s nothing serious, which, Gina realises, is exactly what she needs, so when he invites her to his family’s crumbling Italian villa on the sparkling waters of Lake Como, she says yes. It’s hard not to fall for the grand, sandstone Villa Lucia, its faded wallpaper, green shutters, and Fabio, serving fresh coffee in bed.
But Gina knows where she belongs, and she’s just not ready to explore the hidden depths she discovers in this handsome Italian.
Just when Gina thinks she might change her mind, his sister reveals a secret that sends Gina packing. And it’s a relief. Because she was right not to open her heart to Fabio, to walk away from him, the villa, the moonlit lake... Wasn’t she?
An absolutely cry-your-heart-out then laugh-till-you-cry romantic comedy that will stay with you long after you’ve finished. If you like Sophie Kinsella, Carole Matthews and Kristan Higgins, My Very Italian Holiday will have you completely hooked.
