Darcy meets Arturo while checking off 'take a dance class' from her late sister's bucket list. Their instant connection and developing relationship is well told.

A sweet romance. Lots of introspection resulting from loss of loved ones and relationships. An enjoyable visit to England, Scotland, and Italy. Unusual bucket list. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

Slow Dance with the Italian by Scarlet Wilson 🍷♥️🇮🇹


I read this novel in one quick afternoon!

This is a story about discovering yourself after pain and heartbreak and I admire Darcy’s strength and courage to move forward with her life by trying out new experiences.

I was very excited for Darcy and Felicity’s journey throughout Europe as sisters recovering from loss. Insert Arturo… and Darcy finds hope which she had previously thought lost to Damien.

I loved the scene setting in this novel and picturesque descriptions of Rome and Europe surrounding!

Thank you NetGalley and Scarlet Wilson for this ARC read in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion!

It is a heartwarming story about Darcy, who embarks on a journey to fulfill her late sister's bucket list and finds love with Arturo, a charismatic dance partner. Set against the backdrop of Edinburgh and Rome, their emotional journey resonates with authenticity and depth, capturing the struggles of love, loss, and learning to live again.
