Tuscan Blue Rosemary: A Wildflowers of Italy Novel

by Sherrie Hansen

When Rosemary’s first attempt at love didn’t end well, she packed up her two beautiful bambini and headed home to Tuscany. The second the plane landed, she could feel the wildflower in her heart growing toward the sunlight. Nothing but blue skies greeted her–the pain, the bad feelings, soon disappear, and it’s clear the rainbow she’s been dreaming of is about to peek out from behind the clouds.

Rosemary’s new career in catering is a slice of heaven until her boss dies, her chef is murdered, and Alessandro, the man she’s falling in love with, gets a note that he’ll be next—unless he stops seeing her. Will the dark cloud of the Caparelli curse drag her down, or can the healing power of love find a path through the obstacles in her way?

I have read a number of books by this author and have enjoyed them all. This one didn’t grip me at the start the way the others have but I’m glad I stuck with it as it turned out to be one of the best. It’s full of unexpected twists and turns that will keep you turning the pages. It’s also very emotional. The characters are all interesting and well written. You don’t have to have read any other books by this author to enjoy this one, but you will miss out on some good books if you don’t. I’m looking forward to reading the next one in the series.

I truly enjoyed Tuscan Blue Rosemary. I was completely drawn into the beautiful Tuscan setting and loved how the story captured the feeling of starting over, healing, and finding unexpected joy. The characters felt relatable, and I found myself invested in their struggles, growth, and the connections they formed along the way. This was a heartfelt read that reminded me that life can offer new beginnings when we least expect them, and I finished the book feeling happy that I took the journey with them.

A great read that I thoroughly enjoyed. I started it early in the morning and only put it down when absolutely necessary. A romance and a mystery. A woman who must stand up for herself or be plowed under by certain men in her life. On top of it all Rosemary is a chef and a good one. There are recipes in the back.
