Three women. One summer reunion. Secrets will be revealed…
Villa Dolce Vita, a rambling stone house on the Amalfi Coast, sits high above the Gulf of Naples amidst dappled lemon groves and the fragrant, tumbling bougainvillea. Kim, Colette and Annie all came to the villa in need of escape and in the process forged an unlikely friendship.
Now, years later, Kim has transformed the crumbling house into a luxury retreat and has invited her friends back for the summer to celebrate.
But as friendships are rekindled under the Italian sun, secrets buried in the past will come to light, and not everyone is happy that the three friends are reuniting… Each woman will have things to face up to if they are all to find true happiness and fully embrace the sweet life.
An epic summer read about food, friendship and the magic of Italy, perfect for fans of Jill Mansell and Sheila O’Flanagan.

It feels like it's been forever since I last read a book by Melissa Hill, so I was delighted to get the chance to read this one.
Set both 6 years ago and in the present day, we see how the lives of 3 women change, from their first summer together at the Villa Dolce Vita.
We have Kim, who is trying to escape from being a pawn in her parents empire. Annie who has had a tough time and is only in Italy thanks to an incredible gesture. And Colette who is talking a much needed holiday after helping her mum for years.
All very different but a friendship forms between them that lasts longer than the first summer.
I loved being able to sit in my garden and escape in my mind to Italy, to the Amalfi coast and had a wonderful time doing so.
This was a really enjoyable story to read, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the pages of it.
There is so much more to this book than meets the surface which builds up to an exciting climax.
Thanks to HQ and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
