Take me back to Tuscany! I loved this story between Cleo and Luca. The fake marriage plot happened very organically so it didn’t feel overly cheesy. It was a slow burn romance at first, but I’m glad the “hating” part was quick. Cleo came from London to oversee a vineyard when the patriarch falls ill, as her company is the largest shareholder. Luca is one of the sons. Just overall great story and kept me hooked!

My Fake Italian Marriage is a sweet story about Cleo, a woman sent to Italy to save her bank’s investment in a less than successful vineyard and the Fioravanti family who owns the property and produces a less than stellar wine. While the family patriarch recovers from a stroke his son, Luca must assist Cleo. Author Romy Sommer has created two interesting characters each of which has internal doubts about their self worth, which get magnified as rumors of their supposed marriage spread. This is a fun story. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. Highly recommend.

This was certainly a heartwarming and endearing story!

From the onset, the author drew me in with the vivid descriptions of Italy, specifically Tuscany, and it speaks to her writing style that as the reader I felt fully immersed in the setting of the story.

Chloe's and Luca's story was pretty cute, and it was clear from the onset that the fake relationship would lead to real feelings. While this certainly is one of my favorite tropes and one that seems to be quite popular in current times, the unique and interesting characters made this one stand out amongst the rest!

I loved this book! Romy Sommer has done it again. She swept me away to Tuscany, where I enjoyed every moment of Cleo and Luca's heartwarming story. Their relationship may begin with a misunderstanding, but it brings clarity to both, allowing them to grow personally and as a couple. In addition to her wonderful characters, Ms. Sommer gifts the reader with an armchair tour of Italy. Its culture, beauty, and cuisine all pop from the pages. In short, everything about this book is a TEN! Do yourself a favor and grab a copy today.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

A fun romp in the Italian countryside, Makes me want to go in vacation!

I love a fake dating/fake marriage plot so I knew I’d enjoy this book. A fun host of characters and an interesting setting level it up despite the otherwise commonly trod plot.

Failing vinyard, stubborn patriarch, twice burned financiers, and life long player all come together with a fake marriage and real feelings throwing everyone for a loop. Quite a long read, and common plot, but great for a weekend or vacation.

So ready for a fun caper of a novel! I cannot wait to read this fun fake marriage turned love story! Very excited for this Italian adventure between Cleo &:Luca and I know readers are going to love it as well! Please check back as I will be sharing my full review and thoughts very soon!
