The Fall Affair

By: Vi Keeland

Narrated by: Connor Crais, Andi Arndt

A sexy new standalone from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vi Keeland, perfect for those who loved Under the Tuscan Sun and are ready to fall for Tuscany all over again.

Some people go to Tuscany to find themselves.

I went to escape—New York, my ex’s new relationship, and a career that derailed the moment I was passed over for partner.

My plan was simple: settle my eccentric Italian grandmother’s estate, sell whatever wasn’t nailed down, and return to the life I’d worked too hard to lose.

Instead, I walked into a mess—a crumbling antique shop, two hundred acres of leased vineyard land, and one infuriating clause in the will: Live and work in the shop for three months, or inherit nothing.

Then there’s the neighbor I clash with instantly. Matteo Lucchese is the infuriatingly handsome winemaker who leases my family’s land and refuses to be impressed by my credentials—or my attitude. He’s rugged and stubborn, stuck living in a time that has long passed us by, and the word rush isn’t part of his vocabulary. Basically, we’re exact opposites.

But as the days stretch into weeks, Tuscany chips away at the armor I didn’t realize I was wearing, and Matteo shows me the appeal of slowing down, of staying rooted, of wanting something other than climbing the corporate ladder.

I came to Tuscany to escape.

But now that the countdown to going home was on, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to leave.

And the life I was falling for came with a looming expiration date.

Beautiful book.

This book is beautiful from the cover to the last word. I always wonder how some authors can write books after books and keep the stories new, fresh, interesting and relevant. I’ll never skip a Vi Keeland book, her books are always funny, poignant, interesting and they have real life lessons that can be apply to life and relationships. I read and listened to the audiobook, Vi picked the perfect pair to narrate this book, their permanent are stellar. Connor Crais Italian accent was beautiful. The Fall Affair is a one of a kind love story, absolutely worth reading.

Awesome

This was an amazing story and beautifully narrated. A very feel good story that made my heart happy!

A beautiful story

Loved this storyline and truly loved the humor! The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the attempt of the Italian accent. 😕 Other than that a beautiful escape!

❤️

If I could give this book/audio book more than 5 stars is every category, I would! Thank you, Vi for such a fun and heartwarming read!!!

Laughter, love, a few tears and amazing scenery

The story of Allegra and Mateo is such a great one. The voices of them were great and I loved the English translation of Italian. A wonderful read and listen.
