Verona is the City of Love. But will Suzie find romance there or, like
Romeo and Juliet, will it all end in tears?
When Suzie is hired to accompany spoiled,
abrasive Lady Alexandra Tedburn on an all-expenses paid
holiday to Italy, she fears the trip will be a disaster.
But she soon discovers there’s more to Alex than shopping and tantrums,
and she’s determined to help her realise her potential – against Alex’s
authoritarian father’s wishes.
As they settle in Verona, Suzie can’t stop thinking about local
artist Michael, who is still mourning the tragic death of his wife.
With Suzie’s future uncertain, and Michael’s past
holding him back, it seems there’s no hope for romance in the city of
star-crossed lovers… or is there?

of Verona is the perfect read for fans of Holly Martin, Tilly Tennant
and Jenny Oliver.

My Review
Verona is a place I have wanted to visit for as long as I can remember. TA Williams took me there in my mind with this book and let me live out the dream. I definitely can’t wait to see it in reality one day now. I could really envisage myself walking around and living in Verona like our main characters, the descriptions were so well written.
I loved the whole premise of the book and really enjoyed seeing the development of Alex’s character throughout the story – I hadn’t imagined that after I’d read the synopsis. A reflection of the book being a journey of discovery for all involved.
All the characters are lovely, there isn’t one that I was opposed to in any way. Even the father, I could understand his ways, even if I didn’t necessarily agree with them. Suzie is a delight, her guidance, calming and charming ways; easy to see why people would gravitate to her. She is a fabulous character and I was pleased she got the things she desired and valued the most.
No review would be complete without a mention of Dogberry, what a lovely addition and cute character.
There’s a fun mixture of content within this book that will keep you entertained and excited. A light, warm and captivating romance but with extra fun and interesting moments.
I was completely charmed by this wonderful mix of characters; their stories and the way TA Williams described the idyllic settings so well.
A gorgeous read that I recommend for fans of Italian settings, romance and reads that will take you away.
Author Bio:
I’m a man. And a pretty old man as well. I did languages at university a long time ago and then lived and worked in France and Switzerland before going to Italy for seven years as a teacher of English. My Italian wife and I then came back to the UK with our little daughter (now long-since grown up) where I ran a big English language school for many years. We now live in a sleepy little village in Devonshire. I’ve been writing almost all my life but it was only seven years ago that I finally managed to find a publisher who liked my work enough to offer me my first contract.
The fact that I am now writing romantic comedy is something I
still find hard to explain. My early books were thrillers and historical
novels. Maybe it’s because there are so many horrible things happening in the
world today that I feel I need to do my best to provide something to cheer my
readers up. My books provide escapism to some gorgeous locations and, as a
writer, I obviously have to go there in person and check them out first. I love
my job…
