When her mother’s incessant matchmaking hits an all-time high, Georgie Archibald does what any sensible woman would do: she flees the country.
Seeking refuge in the picturesque seaside village of Vernazza, Italy, Georgie’s only plan is to lie low, gorge herself on gelato, and let the wine and waves wash her troubles away...that is until she wakes up in a bed that belongs to the most romantic-looking man she’s ever seen.
Gianluca.
After going out of his way to rescue her, the former London financier turned mysterious recluse makes it clear that despite acting as her white knight, he has no plans to co-star in her fairytale.
But Georgie isn’t asking for his heart—she’s merely intrigued.
After all, Gianluca isn’t just gorgeous—tall and tan from days spent in the sun—his touch sets her world on fire. With him, Georgie experiences the most intoxicating passion she’s ever known, and it only takes a few steamy nights for her to realize that sometimes running away from trouble is the best way to find it.

When I first met Georgie in The Summer Games: Settling The Score, I knew she needed her own book and I am beyond thrilled the author wrote it. I was Team Georgie from the beginning! She is just so fun, spunky, and she has that very memorable personality. Then there's Gialuca...swoon! With tragedy in his past, he seemed to be just going through the motions. Content with his life, but Georgie seemed to show him how to live! She was relentless and never gave up. In the end it paid off.
I was captivated from the beginning! There is humor, drama, and some very hot love making! I loved all the sexual tension! It just made the reward that much more sweeter! The characters were amazing and well devolped. The book takes place in Italy. The author does a great job describing the area without making it feel like a travel guide. She keeps the main focus on the story of Georgie and GiaIuca. I don't comment about this too often but the cover of this book is gorgeous, along with the interior chapter headings. It's the little things like that, that make me appreciate a book much more. Overall, this book is simple amazing! The author surprises me with each new book she writes. This is a must read!

Review by: Amy C
I could feel myself in Vernazza. The sweet clean salty air sweeping past all of my senses. I could see the landscape, the small square and all of the people bustling around. Rachel made the whole story bursting with feelings. Surrounded me with experiences I may never feel in my reality, yet seemed so close to what I wold believe it all to be. She took characters that blended and meshed together seamlessly and made them so magically a part of , everyday while reading.
Gianluca was so broody and hell bent of a life alone in soils. He could live out his days barely existing. Georgie needed a break and came stumbling into the square collapsing on spot. She desired more than a chomping, stuffy suited Brit to fancy... She needed the happily ever after. They had no idea that it would be the imperfect in each other that was so perfectly fitted for each other. The characters were lovely and possessed a serenity that fit so well with the laid back village they came to call home.
I really loved this book. From the easy transition of busy British life to the calm serenity of the sea side Italian town. The characters were uniquely written and complexly intertwined with each other. The location was absolutely AMAZING! I honestly could picture every scene of this book because the attention to detail was suburb. As sweet as gelato and as sultry as a fine wine, this book really had it all! Completely recommend.
5 Stars
I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things... everyday.
I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm a comedy geek and love all things "funny". Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.
