Product Description
When Elizabeth Caldwell planned a trip to Florence with her daughter, Marina, she secretly hoped for a warm, fuzzy bonding experience worthy of a Lifetime movie. But Marina - twenty-one, newly graduated, and close to her mum in many ways - has always been more the PBS type: dependable, practical, and completely in control. Elizabeth knows Marina wants to avoid the kind of 'stupid mistake' that left Elizabeth a single mother at twenty-two, and she's bitten her tongue as Marina settles for a wealthy fiance who gives. her everything she thinks she wants. After all, Elizabeth - unable to bring herself to fully commit to the man she has dated for years - is hardly an expert in romance.Still, a lot can happen on vacation, especially in Tuscany, where every scent borne on the warm breeze inspires delight, and every view makes the heart soar. There, on streets once walked by Dante and Michaelangelo, Marina is blindsided by a gorgeous Italian named Luca who shows her how gloriously unpredictable passion can be, and Elizabeth finally lets go of the role that has defined her for so long to embrace her own uncertain future...

enn (USA: CA) (2010/06/28):
I read more warmth and passion in cheesy romance novels than in this book. At least romance novels resolve the love issue. The constant relationship whining by both mother and daughter was annoying by chapter 4 and ranted incessantly until chapter 20 - Good gravy! They are on their vacation and all they do is complain about their relationships the whole time! Next time give the tickets to Italy to me and stay home and deal directly with the relationship issues and the people directly involved.
Okay, I'm ranting. Maybe I didn't like it but maybe you will. Maybe I need more action and less contemplating. Maybe I need Frances Mayes' gorgeous travelogue instead. Bon giorno!
