Escape to the Amalfi Coast and feel the warmth of the Italian sun on your face, hear the sound of the turquoise waves crashing on the beach and fall in love with a new enemies to lovers romance!
Lia Bathurst had always dreamed of escaping to the
white sandy beaches and turquoise blue seas of the Amalfi coast – but that
dream hadn’t included meeting her real father. A father she had never even
known about until a few weeks ago! Yet here she was, standing outside the gates
of a gorgeous pink villa being refused entry by the insufferable – and
insufferably handsome – Raphael Knight, her father’s business manager.
When an old black and white photo proves Lia’s claim
to be true, Raph is determined to make sure this stranger, with her long
caramel waves and infectious smile, doesn’t have an ulterior motive. Even if
that means not letting her out of his sight.
As temperatures rise, and not just from the heat of
the Mediterranean sun, could Lia and Raph’s forced proximity lead to something
more like… amore?

Julie Caplin, oh how I adore the books you bring us! As a long-time
fan, I eagerly await each one, anticipating glorious settings, warm, likeable
characters, emotional storylines and always some mouthwatering foods and drink
references.
I always want these books to last as long as possible but I
cannot help but get so engrossed in the story I read through it in no time.
A Villa with A View blew me away; I wanted to be right there,
glorious location, weather and in the heart of a loving, busy family. The
characters, well, could Aurelia get any more wonderful; welcoming, generous, a
sprinkling of mischievous matchmaking and everything you’d want from a long-lost
fathers wife! Ernesto is a funny character, the heart of the family, cheeky,
charming and not at all what you would expect from someone so famous.
Lia is our leading
character, she’s had life changing news, it questions everything she is and
knows. The time away is meant to put space between her and the family she
thinks have lied to her for her whole life. I love her, she’s fierce and
willing to stand up to anyone, no matter who they are or how much they push
back.
A quick mention for Leo, what a lovely guy, more of him
please! He clearly holds on to some heartbreak but manages to bring a smile to
those around him.
I was on an emotional rollercoaster, I desperately wanted
Lia to find the answers she needed whilst realising the power of love, both
from those who are your family and the romantic kind. I have to admit, I shed a
little tear at the part Lia was speaking with her Dad.. it takes a lot for me
to cry but the emotion just pours from the page.
As always I was rooting for the romance, Lia and Raph have an
instant spark, although they fight hard against it for quite some time. Both
are passionate, both care deeply and think they know best; they have met their
match in each other.
I could rave on and on… I loved it. I cannot recommend it
enough for anyone looking for a brilliant, sun shine filled read. Those who
love to travel via their comfy chairs will love A Villa with a View.
I look forward to the next one Julie 😊
