BLURB
She’s counting down the days until she leaves Tuscany. He’s counting on making her stay.
Some people go to Tuscany to find themselves.
I went to escape—New York, my ex’s new relationship, and a career that derailed the moment I was passed over for partner.
My plan was simple: settle my eccentric Italian grandmother’s estate, sell whatever wasn’t nailed down, and return to the life I’d worked too hard to lose.
Instead, I walked into a mess—a crumbling antique shop, two hundred acres of leased vineyard land, and one infuriating clause in the will: Live and work in the shop for three months, or inherit nothing.
Then there’s the neighbor I clash with instantly. Matteo Lucchese is the infuriatingly handsome winemaker who leases my family’s land and refuses to be impressed by my credentials—or my attitude. He’s rugged and stubborn, stuck living in a time that has long passed us by, and the word rush isn’t part of his vocabulary. Basically, we’re exact opposites.
But as the days stretch into weeks, Tuscany chips away at the armor I didn’t realize I was wearing, and Matteo shows me the appeal of slowing down, of staying rooted, of wanting something other than climbing the corporate ladder.
I came to Tuscany to escape.
But now that the countdown to going home was on, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to leave.
And the life I was falling for came with a looming expiration date.

MY REVIEW
When Allegra doesn't get partner as she was hoping for, she quits in anger. Now her life is upside down until a timely notification from her grandmother's lawyer. Heading to Italy now that she's inherited her grandma's estate should be just the thing to help her start over. And with some guidance from beyond the grave, she'll find a lot more than just a redo, she'll find the warmth of Italy, and the joy of love - if she allows herself to.
Allegra came to Italy and really did fall in love - with Italy, and with Matteo. She found the life she had always thought she wanted wasn't really where her heart lay. Thanks to her Nonna, whose letters were the highlights of the story and filled with superior advice about everything, Allegra and Matteo finally realized what and who were really important. I've never been to Italy (unfortunately), but Vi's poetic prose had me there among the vineyards, watching as this sweet couple fell in love, found each other and made a family, with the guidance of a sweet, loving Nonna. I can always count on Vi for a twist, a wonderful couple, a heartfelt love - The Fall Affair has all these things in spades.
