Review A Place in the Sun by R.S. Grey (Goodreads Author)

A Place in the SunA Place in the Sun by R.S. Grey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A good story should transport us to a world beyond ours, where we travel through the lives of the unforgettable characters. A book that leaves you with many experiences.......

A Place in the Sun by R S Grey was one of those books.
I found myself in a "pleasurable trance-like" state from the 1st to the last page!!

There were many things I loved about this book........but the top 3 had to be - Georgie, Gianluca and Italy!
"I found myself in Italy the way I find myself in most places: by chance."

Georgie Archibald

I adored this character!! She's the kind of person I want to be around with. She's like a breath of fresh air. She's open and full of life. Thoughtful, kind, feisty, fun and like me......follows her heart!!! She's impossible not to fall in love with.

Gianluca

Dark, brooding and beautiful. Mourning the death of his wife, he's become a loner and a man of a few words. I loved watching him being captivated by the bright and shiny star that was Georgie Archibald!!!

The settings:The settings really brought the story to life - the sensory input - I could smell the sea, taste the croissant and wine, watch the beautiful sunset................

The seaside towns of the Cinque Terre area is one of the my favourite parts of Italy.

Vernazza............Monterosso, Riomaggiore, Manarola........  photo a40a7ac50abea14389d67500c266af35_zpsqp4g8cq0.jpg and piazzas. Pulled right into the lives of the locals. Eating gelato, hiking through the little towns, eating fresh strawberries on the beach..............

The secondary characters were just as fun, charming, and enjoyable and Georgie and Gianluca.

Great writing, the story flows beautifully and keeps you captivated long after you've turned the last page. Fab dialogue............humorous, witty an absolute delightful.

What a beautiful and perfect epilogue. It left me with tingles in my heart!!

This is the sweetest and lovable and romantic love story.

Sorry...gotta go....I'm off to Italy........hopefully I will meet up with Georgie & Gianluca and their friends.............
