Those Italian Girls: A romantic drama embracing Tuscany

By J S Morey

JUST TO BE CLEAR - I called this "Those Italian Girls" without any knowledge there was a similar title released some eight years earlier - however, I would hope that my story proves perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley's The Italian Girl or the sweeping, sun-baked settings of Santa Montefiore. Set in Volterra, Those Italian Girls is an unforgettable mid-20th-century romance brimming with family secrets and second chances. - J S Morey

This began as a TRUE STORY - until make-believe crept into this clean and wholesome romance....that never runs smooth:
* Chas was heartbroken when Gina left. Should he follow her back to Tuscany? Maybe he could find who his birth parents were into the bargain.
* Mason was shattered when Gina disappeared leaving him for no reason. Would he ever see her again?
* Susie follows Mason to wherever it takes her. Would they ever get back together?

Heartbreak sent them reeling. Tuscany holds the secrets that could shatter them all. Chas' world imploded when Gina vanished, leaving only a trail of unanswered questions and a burning need to follow her to the sun-drenched vineyards of Tuscany. Could he find her, and uncover the truth about his own past, hidden within the ancient hills of Volterra?

Mason, haunted by Gina's sudden disappearance in his life, is also desperate for answers. Will their paths cross again amidst the intoxicating beauty of Italy?

And Susie, loyal to a fault, follows Mason, hoping to rekindle a love that seems lost. But the idyllic Tuscan landscape conceals a web of family scandals, forbidden passions, and a tragic death that threatens to unravel their lives.

From a fateful college dance to the breathtaking backdrop of Tuscany, "Those Italian Girls" weaves a tale of romance, mystery, and self-discovery. Escape into a world of hidden truths and second chances, where love and secrets intertwine under the Italian sun.

The author's writing style delivers the "feel-good fiction" you crave, with a twist of intrigue and emotional depth. Journey with these young hearts as they navigate the complexities of love and loss against the stunning backdrop of Italian vineyards. Experience the escapism of a sun-drenched adventure, where romance blossoms amidst hidden scandals and the promise of new beginnings.

Yearning for a story that blends heartfelt romance with a touch of mystery? Dive into "Those Italian Girls" and let Tuscany work its magic. (P.S. There's more to come...with a sequel still unfolding.)

The Author writes: As for my literary influences I would prefer to be compared with McMurtry or Salinger, writing as I do with a rye smile (sorry ). Currently I look for the latest from the romantic fiction maestro, Nicholas Sparks, but I have been known to pick up Colleen Hoover and Sally Rooney. (I do mean their books ).

As for my own efforts, I will continue to create my own style with a semi-biographical historical fiction blend of past personal experiences mixed with make-believe to - hopefully - ensure your reading experience is a memorable one.' I could never attempt the level of intensity of historical research and content delivered by Victoria Hislop, nor the twists and turns in plot, created by Dinah Jefferies.
That said, should you gain as much pleasure from reading, as I have writing, this - alongside my "Wild Hearts" series or the Romani journey in "Finding Rose" - then I will rest happy. Thank you.
