Review
You Had Me At Merlot makes for a great summer holiday read
with gorgeous surroundings, romance and wine flowing throughout. It took me
back to my own special memories of a holiday in Italy where I also visited the
wonderful cities of Pisa and Florence; I especially loved Ponte Vecchio with
its jewellers stretching over the bridge – oh yes and the gelato!
The story is centred on Elle and her friend Laurie who are
the last of their group to be single which is fine by Elle as she is completely
comfortable living her life without a man by her side. Laurie, however, decides
she wants to settle down so she books a singles holiday at Bella Notte in
Tuscany for them both.
There’s horror and laughter when Elle’s boss unexpectedly
arrives and she adds to the interesting characters Lisa has created in this
tale. Talking if characters every holiday should have a Jamie!
This is my first book by Lisa Dickenson but won’t be my last
as I just loved this read from start to finish and it certainly has got me the
mood for summer.
I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa at a book event in London
and she is a lovely woman who spared her time for a nice chat and signed my
book.
Thank you as always to Julie for allowing me to review on
her blog.
