Beginning of Forever returns readers to the delightful D'Angelo family. Who are back together celebrating Gio's thirtieth birthday and whilst mum Mari wants him to settle down and have babies, Gio would just like to meet the one.

Especially after watching his older brother Luca fall in love and best friend Dante marry his sister Chloe, and Gio soon gets his chance. When he's gifted a three-week trip to Tuscany touring the many vineyards, the area has to offer.

And this is where he meets Emma. Who is on the same tour after quitting her job at her family run winery and taking some well earned time to herself to figure out what's next.

And sparks fly from the moment Emma and Gio meet. Although Emma isn't interested in anything long term.

Yet, time spent under the Tuscan sun, drinking wine and with the encouragement and worldly advice of the rest of the touring party, including Emma's best friend Nicole. The pair soon find themselves falling for each other and that continues when they return home to the US.

And with such engaging and charming characters and the perfect amount of sweetness and heat. Not to mention a little angst. Beginning of Forever was a super delightful easy read. That had me hooked. And it's a story I would happily recommend. Along with the other two in the series, although you can easily read this as a standalone.


My thanks to Montlake and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an early copy of Beginning of Forever. 😊
