Her plan is simple: trade tears for pasta, prayers for pizza, and absolutely NO men allowed. But Italy has other plans. From the chaotic charm of Rome to the sun-kissed hills of Tuscany, Abby's carefully constructed walls begin to crumble when she meets Marco—a kind-hearted Italian chef with a faith as warm as his homemade sauce and a smile that makes her forget to breathe.

Good read

Enjoyed the book. The narrator did a good job as well! Made the book easy to listen to.

Sweet Christian message

An easy listen with a sweet Christian message of finding love again. The story is not too long and has a variety of characters that keeps it interesting and moving along. The narrator did a great job with the different voices and accents- even listening at higher speeds, was easy to understand.

It’s a cute story, very Christian

It’s a cute little story about a girl who finally finds love. It’s probably great to listen to on a flight! The italian tropes were aplenty, if that’s your thing, though maybe a bit overdone, and idealized (hello pasta-cooking wise italian grandma, hot italian guy with an accent and no flaws, gelato, etc).

Christian values are at the center of the story. Not much of a plot overall but that probably was not a goal for the author. Nice, light reading.

The narrator was fab, and sounds great and clear even at 2x speed. Great audio quality! She did great on the accents and the male voices, that’s usually a pet peeve for me.

Loved the accents

Easy listening. Romantic story with lots of Italian references and places well described. Highly Recommend
