A new author for me to follow! These three romances in this bundle were wonderful! A second chance romance, young, single mother finds love, and a love that was. The first one was the longest one with the smart architect comes back to her hometown when her mother dies and her old love is still their...and no matter how either of them fights it they are still in love. Then there's the sweet, young single mother who's trying to keep her perspective about the mini-celebrity author who came to town for the summer to write his next book and swept her off her feet...is it just a summer fling or is it more? And finally we have the widow still so in love with her late husband that she talks with him about problems as she runs the old Italian farmhouse just converted to a guesthouse...as she takes in her first guests, he sends her signs she asks for. Now each of these books has a ton of other characters in them and other lovers in them as well, so these aren't the only love stories happening. Recommended

Finding what you really need in life!
A collection of what if love stories.
Ellie Moore has landed her dream job with Zack Rose, internationally acclaimed chef. Her first assignment is to ruin a top restaurant in Crete to appease Zack's ego.
When she meets the owners son, sparks fly. Can she ruin his family legacy or follow her heart? Can he forgive her for her betrayal...will Zack help or make everything worse. Next up Portofino, Anna and Mark are off on a much needed vacation. If anything could go wrong it does, delayed flights, lost luggage and running into Mark's ex throw their relationship into a dither.
Is she wrong for expecting a romantic trip and dealing with disappointment. Or, is he wrong for allowing his anxiety over traveling and his ex ruin the trip? Enter hot Greek Marcus and watch the whole story unravel.
Olivia Bennett is off on her travel assignment in Sicily, she is jaded on Italy from the past. Kate O'Toole frustrated after failed IVF attempts wants a never scheduled trip to Italy with her husband. He doesn't want to go and sends her off on her own adventure, cooking classes! Martha Walters, widowed with grown kids is gifted tickets to Sicily and a brochure for cooking classes. Feeling no longer needed, she sets out on a solitary adventure.
Somehow they all wind up at Chef Isabella's cooking classes in Taormina. Will the experience change their lives forever?
Johanna Nelson, works in publishing and dates Peter a successful real estate agent in Manhattan. She wants to marry, settle down, start a family, but is Peter the right guy? She never knew her father and now a call comes in from his Lawyer regarding an inheritance...in Skiathos Greece. Should she listen to Peter and sell, use the money for a wedding or follow her heart after meeting Nick in Greece.
Should we get lost in dreams, stop pining, living in desperation and not waste another second?
Wonderful stories, promising the life we should lead. I received a complimentary copy of this book, all opinions in this review are my own.

This is a collection of three books and quite cute. The first story, 'Mulberry Bay' was long and took a while to get into. I didn't really care for Elle or Penny much, but enjoyed the other characters. The book was also really slow, but it picked up and I enjoyed the last half of the book.
The second book is called, 'Summer at the Heartbreak Cafe.' This is my favorite of the three and really enjoyable. I really liked the characters and the storyline right away. It has such a simple, but super sweet ending.
The last story is called, 'Summer in Sorrento.' It was short and sweet. Just enough information to like all the characters and have some development, but not too much.

A wonderful story in the Irish type country. Beautiful views, wonderful people. It was a very small town. No cars allowed. At the end of the street, stood a lovely landmark. A hotel with many stories to tell. It was the place where all celebrations took place. Everyone used it for even the smallest occasions. But when the balls or large parties came, it was majestic. And everyone in that town fought to keep it from being torn down.

Summers to remember
The collection was very good. The characters learned some life lessons in the span of the particular summer. Time away from a normal routine can have huge benefits.

interesting read!
The stories were interesting and the areas where the stories were set were written beautifully. I have read other work from this writer but this fell a little short for me.
