ARC received from Hachette Australia for an honest review

Oh how I have been looking forward to this story, and from the minute I open the cover I was hooked.

I have loved these jaunts around the world with Ms Duggan and her wonderful characters, and this trip to Rome was no exception.

I really do feel for Sammi. She is floundering in life, and we have all been like that at some stage. One snap decision and this little Aussie ends up in Rome on the holiday of a life time. I mean the history, the food, hot Italian men, who wouldn't want to go there.


Enter our Italian stallion (I mean, c'mon we have to call him that!), Marcello (am I the only one rolling my R's as I say his name??) You can't help but like him from the start, even if he is a bit of an ar$e - a seriously gorgeous ar5e!

I got swept away along with Sammi as she discovers Rome - and discovers herself. Ms Duggan writes with beautiful imagery that I could feel myself walking the cobbled streets, picture myself at the Spanish Steps, wished as I threw a coin into the Trevi Fountain.

Now I feel the need... the need for pasta and gelato!

So grab your passport, pack a toga and get ready for your own Roman Holiday.
