R.S. Grey is my happy place in the sun. She knows when to shine her literary rays of sunshine, laughter, romance, life and love. And in her newest standalone, A Place In The Sun, Rachel has readers like myself itching to pack their bags and book a one way trip to Vernazza, Italy.
“I was in Italy to find love, after all. How convenient that this romantic-looking man, out of every man in the village, had been the one to rescue me. ”Honestly, I adore Rachel Grey. She is one of those few authors that I put in a special book bubble. Her books always evoke a sense of happiness, love, and laughter and so it wasn’t a surprise that she once again had my heart bursting with so much love. Not only did I fell in love with the sights and sounds of Italy but I fell in love Rachel’s heartwarming and stunning prose. A Place In The Sun was a fresh breath of air. It had romance, humor, and second chances being doused and sprinkled with rays of light and hope.
Georgie Archibald is looking for love. She is on the hunt for that epic love story that every romance novel talks about. At the young of age of twenty-six, she is feeling the pressure to get married soon. So not wanting her mom to continue bug her, Georgie decides to embark on a trip that will possibly lead her to finding love and what better place to find that in Vernazza, Italy.
“MY CRUSH ON Gianluca reminded me of the sort I used to have in grade school. It was a quiet, volatile sort of infatuation, the kind rooted mostly in fantasy and lifelike dreams. ”On her first day in arriving to the small coastal town in Italy, Georgie found herself feeling faint. Soon she was being helped by two gorgeous Italian men. It is there she meets Gianluca and his cousin. Right away, Georgia couldn’t help but be attracted to Gianluca. He was beautiful in every sense of the word. He was like the sun and you couldn’t help but stare and get blinded by his friendliness and handsome features.
As much as Gianluca finds Georgie attractive, he puts a distance between them. Gianluca is still mourning the loss of his wife who died at an early age. The love of his life was gone and ripped from him. But as he begins to spend more time with Georgie, pieces of brokenness begins to heal. And so what happens when Gianluca discovers that he not only wants her to stay in Italy but also by his side? Will Gianluca be able to find a place in his heart to let her fully in and let go of the past?
“It felt like we were starved for each other, like I’d gone years abstaining from men like Gianluca, and now that he was there, holding me, touching me, kissing me passionately, my body didn’t know how to respond. I wanted more.”Georgia and Gianluca’s journey from friendship to love was an absolute gem. Though there were a few bumps along the road, Georgie’s bright and colorful personality was able to outshine any cast of darkness and gloom. To say Georgia found her place in the sun was nothing compared to her place right by Gianluca’s side.
With Rachel’s vibrant and fresh voice, she was able to capture the heart and life of her characters. She allowed readers to see, touch, hear, and feel every facets of love, friendship, humor, and hope that was being radiated. The writing was superb. The characters were charismatic. And the story was breathtakingly beautiful. So if you are ready to take a chance on a love story that will make you feel complete and whole, then I highly recommend you to read this book as everyone needs to find their place in the sun.
