Lost in Tuscany by Sophie Sinclair is a delightful and romantic read that sweeps you away to the beautiful landscapes of Italy. The main character’s journey of self-discovery is heartfelt, and the setting adds a perfect charm to the story. The romance is sweet and believable, though a bit predictable at times. The writing is engaging, making it a fun escape. A solid 4 stars—captivating, romantic, and perfect for fans of feel-good reads.

This book transported me to Italy. I was along for a ride making me wish I was traveling and making my way through Tuscany with a cute travel partner and (several) amazing glasses of Italian wine. This book was a delight and I highly recommend!

Perfect book to read on my vacation! I laughed out loud during parts of the book. I felt like I was transported to Italy & became part of the family in the story. It was the first book I’ve read by this author & I will certainly be reading more from her!

This book was fabulously designed. It was hallmark and Netflix romance all mashed together in the most delightful way. It had some spice that made it more fun. The characters were fantastic. Like I need Lorenzo but also won’t mind having Nonna as well. I loved Summer's growth and Cara’s honesty. It just felt so real. I wish I could start from scratch and reread it all over again. Also, OLIVE OIL FARM, this was beyond creative to me. I’m so used to reading about falling in love at a winery that this was a bit unexpected. Still, I loved it just the same!

One of the things I usually say when championing romance books is that they gave the validity to go deep. This book didn't address the technical detail of how or lead character stays back in a country that isn't her own after coming for a tourist visit. I know it's not the biggest issue, but I was unable to read much further after that. Since I didn't finish the book I cannot provide a detailed review but I'm in the minority since most people really enjoyed the book.

In this charming modern romance novel, readers follow Summer Andrews as she drunkenly books a non-refundable Tuscany bike trip for singles, except she hasn’t biked in any serious way for years and knows no Italian. When the bike trip is not at all what she expects and goes horribly wrong with a crash early into the trip, Summer wants to salvage her life and her Tuscany adventure any way she can, so she takes on a new job at the Rossi Olive Farm for the summer and starts up a whirlwind romance with the owner, Lorenzo Rossi. As her Italian summer takes on a life of its own, Summer must reconcile herself with the fact that returning home means that all of the good things in her new Tuscan life will end. Summer, Lorenzo, and the many other characters in this novel are charming and complicated, and their interactions with each other really build up the novel and the emotional stakes. Sinclair has brought the beautiful Tuscan countryside and many cities in the region to life in this novel, and readers will love the setting and how it brings Summer and her relationship with Lorenzo to life. A fun and charming romance novel with a great emotional heart, fans of the genre will love this summer escapist novel.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. What a great novel to read. Well written, entertaining and a story to love. I highly recommend the book to all who love Italy, the people and the food

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC of Lost in Tuscany by Sophie Sinclair.

Wow, did I wait to long to read such a great book…YES!! I kept putting it off as it was another new to me author and I had a few duds lately, but don’t be mislead by the cover or even the description thinking it will only be about bike riding in Italy. It is so much more. Have I ever wanted to be a MC more than I wanted to be Summer, or want the book boyfriend to be real, cause come on…Lorenzo 😍🥰. Seriously, this is funny, and romantic and all the things you would hope for in a book about Italy. And now I’m dreaming of a trip to Italy. I really thought, why is this not set in a vineyard, why an olive farm? Who cares!!! By the end of the book I would work on an olive farm to have the experience that Summer did, minus the mom drama.

All this to say, if you enjoy travel, dreaming of travel, and dreamy foreign guys…grab this book and read. Once I did start, I didn’t want to put it down. Unfortunately I did have to sleep. Quite a good read!!!

WOW WOW wowwwww oh Lorenzo he will make you be smitten with him. Fantastic read excited to read more by Sophie Sinclair. Her writing style is why I love romance books!

A great enemies to lovers rom-com with loads of tension and steam!! I love Italy and I love being immersed in it, this book was perfect for that. I received an advance copy from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sophie Sinclair for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This was a sweet read and solid 3-star read for me. The highlights were the setting (hello, Italy), the dynamic and large Rossi family, and the middle-section of the book in which I felt like the growing tension between Summer and Lorenzo "Ren" shined. The book took some time to find its pace in the first act, and truthfully I found myself disappointed that the characters we meet early on were not more involved. Further, I wanted the tension both with Cara and with Summer's mom, Barbara, to pack more of a punch. I wanted these two factors bringing Summer tumbling back into the United States to come to a more emotional peak, but especially with Barbara it felt like a lot of that payoff happened "off-camera."

Regardless, I appreciated all the good in Lost in Tuscany. If you want a romance book that feels like a lovely escape to Tuscany, complete with mouthwatering descriptions of food and a love interest who is charismatic, vulnerable, and head over heels for the MC, this might be your book!

I can never say no to a romance set in Italy and I whole heartedly blame that on the Lizzie McGuire movie! Sophie Sinclair's writing made me want to quit my job and move to Tuscany even more than I already did. The banter, romance and steam make for a top notch combination that most people will love! I will be recommending this to several of my friends!!

Where are my romance and romcom lovers at!?! Or anyone who loves a fast-paced story that combines humor, strong women, and a whole lotta steam!

From the very beginning I just wanted to move to Tuscany just so I could hang out with this amazing cast of characters…and obviously it’s Italy, so why wouldn’t I want to jump right into this book!?!

Like all her other books, Sophie Sinclair writes a story that has you wanting to jump into the pages! There is always a bunch of laugh-out-loud moments, quirky characters, heart, friendship, and just the best kind of storyline to lose yourself in.

But the best part, like in all her books, are the real characters that take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions making your heart melt, has you getting good and angry, crying, and almost peeing your pants laughing - Oh the humor in this story is just the best! And I just loved the way I was able to relate and connect with each character.

As for the romance...This is an enemies to lovers that brings all the steam and tension I love!

If you are looking for a slow burn romance with tension, discovery and Italian atmosphere, then this book is for you.

🔥Steam level: Open door

Italy, sun, summer, vacation, vineland, grapes, food, countryside, and of course, love. What more can a girl ask for. It’s all there in this delightful book. This is a hilarious love adventure who the main character Summer who was drunk while booking a trip only to find out it’s not the type of vacation she wants but ends up going.
I have laughed, giggled, sighed, weeped and smiled while reading the novel. It’s such an endearing romance novel that will still stick with you long after reading it. I can still remember this story couple months after reading it( I know I’m late. I’ve been so busy since summer hit!)
This book gets 4 1/2 stars from me and I’ll be recommending it to anyone who’s interested.
Thank Netgalley and Sophia Sinclair for this sweet charming eARC. As usual, all of my reviews are purely my own opinions without any influence from any publisher.

Unfortunately i made the decision to DNF this book after multiple failed attempts to consume. I hope to pick it up again at a later time.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was wonderful!

Fabulous story! I loved every minute of it. Great characters, good development, and Italy! Can’t go wrong with Italy.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

What a delightful read! The setting is enchanting, and Sophie masterfully transports you to the romantic Italian countryside. The book strikes a perfect balance of humour, romance, and steam, while the theme of found family adds a touching layer. It was truly a pleasure to read.

Summer is having a bit of a “midlife crisis” when she drunkenly books a bike tour in Italy. Brave enough to go, I absolutely loved following her journey to self-discovery. She ends up at the Rossi Olive Farm, where she meets Lorenzo, who tries to keep his distance. Their palpable tension makes him a top book boyfriend—sweet, thoughtful, and protective, especially when he speaks Italian to Summer 😍.

Lorenzo’s family adds so much heart, especially as Summer grapples with her mom. I’d love to taste Fiore’s cooking, tour the olive farm, and meet the lively Nonna, whose shenanigans had me laughing out loud.

Having read all of Sophie’s books, I’m always eager to reread them. Her witty banter, hilarious moments, and swoon-worthy romantic scenes never fail to impress. Plus, her found families always tug at my heartstrings 🥹.

Add this to your summer reading list—you won’t regret it!

The opening seemed fun and I liked young Harrison, but as things went on to romantic territory -- which this is really what the focus is -- the writing and storyline just got cringier and cringier. At 49%, I had to stop. Regrettable, as I am a fan of the oft-mentioned Under the Tuscan Sun and romance genre. This just seemed like a poor imitation of someone who thinks they are writing cinema, but is actually writing a sloppy copy.

This book had me entertained through most of it, but it felt like it circled back to the same argument over and over again at the last 50 %. That is something I personally can find a bit boring. That being said I really enjoyed the characters and where the book took place because those together made for a really cozy and fun read. I don't think I have ever read a book with this plot and I'm a bit sad that I probably will not again because it was such a creative and sweet one.

Even though i have some mixed opinions about this book I still would recommend it to my friends that like these types of easy and cute reads beacuse it is a good one.
