They stared at each other in horror and disbelief at what had just happened. One of them had killed a man, a fellow soldier and compatriot. This crazy war had turned everything on its head, and now they were fugitives. We’re going north, to fight with Mussolini,’ he declared belligerently. ‘Come with us, if you love your country.’The younger man’s eyes widened in alarm, anxiety coiling in his stomach. He tried to get past, but they jostled him and jeered. ‘What? Are you cowards? You want your women stolen by the British and the Americans?’

Wait! the young man wanted to shout, but knowing it was futile the word died on his lips. He nodded as their eyes met for a split second. Busy, with the wedding plans. Although I just found out that Giorgio is leaving for a few days. He has business in the US.’ Philippa’s tone made it clear what she thought of that. ‘The timing isn’t the best, but he’s an ambitious young man. He wants to provide for his family,’ Rafaella said neutrally. I was hoping Giorgio would face the music for his actions. While he does to a minor extent, the book sadly sweeps a good portion of it under the carpet. Financial fraud is one thing, infidelity and mistreating women is another matter. He isn’t even questioned about it. That is NOT acceptable. Giorgio, we’re almost married. Surely it doesn’t matter if we . . .’ She let the question hang, an unspoken invitation. Do you have to go?’ Carina murmured, wrapping her arms around her fiancé as she gazed up at his handsome face.Well, a family drama thrives on drama and interesting characters. You gotta have secret keepers, victims, collateral damage, heroes, villains, grey characters, et al. While the book has them all, none of them except that scum Giorgio makes an impact (at least for me). She leaned in to kiss him goodbye, pressing her body enticingly against his as their embrace grew more passionate, her hands roaming over his chest and rumpling his freshly ironed shirt. BBC Breakfast weather host Carol Kirkwood made a huge career announcement on Wednesday, revealing that she's writing another book. Anybody who's anybody has been invited. So, from glamorous Hollywood starlets to the mafia, and really no expense has been spared for this wedding. But both families have secrets that could ruin lives, that could ruin relationships as well.”

Her eyes were drawn beyond the vineyard to the Avella mountains beyond; seeing their majesty and beauty never failed to lift her spirits. There was a tussle in the darkness and blows were exchanged, fists flying as pent-up fear and anger found a release. The mood changed rapidly when one of the soldiers drew his weapon.You might be writing a book, are you?" Carol replied: "I am, yes. My third one." Carol giggled as Jon said: "Are you writing through the weekend? Are you still writing?"

The multiple third-person POV works to an extent in providing their thoughts, but the voice shifts repeatedly from one person to another. At the same time, it’s not omnipresent narration either. This makes it hard to connect with the characters. The two soldiers had fled along with the others, peeling off down an alleyway, their hearts heaving in their chests as they concealed themselves in a doorway, the whistles of the carabinieri could be heard close by. I came to tell you both the news,’ Salvatore announced. ‘I’ve signed a deal with Heritage Estates. They’ve agreed to be the exclusive distributor for Casa di Russo across the whole of North America, with an agreement to increase the supply year on year over the next decade. We’ll have to expand the vineyard and increase production, but this is what we’ve been working for, yes? It secures our future – for the whole family, but especially for you, number one daughter,’ he told Carina. Weather presenting legend Carol Kirkwood joined The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with cinch to talk about her “glamorous” and “escapist” third novel, Secrets of the Villa Amore. Sono sorpreso ! You were always supportive of him, and you knew he had to build up his business. I think you would have understood, as Carina does.’The wedding will take place in Villa Amore, where family and friends will gather but there are so many secrets that will blow up around this union. Why has Carina's dad hired a bodyguard for her and how will she feel with Tom following her everywhere ? What secrets are Salvador keeping from his wife and Carina, and will their marriage crumble when she leaves. What has the groom been up to and why has he gone to America a week before the wedding? Lately, that sensation was stronger than ever. Salvatore seemed distant, his kisses perfunctory. She told herself that after the wedding it would be different – they would be less busy, and she’d be able to devote herself to him once again – but deep down she knew it was more than that. They’d been married for twenty-five years, having celebrated their silver wedding anniversary in the spring, but their relationship had never felt the way it did right now. Speaking about what her latest offering is about, Carol told Tom Allen, who has been covering for Chris over the past fortnight: “It's set on the beautiful Amalfi Coast, and the story follows two families who are wine producing families. One is more successful than the other, and their lives have been intertwined for generations. And it's expected that the siblings from each family will marry in what promises to be the wedding of the year. The dialogue is nice, but I didn’t like it. The conversations sound off in many places. It’s like the characters are acting their part in a play rather than being themselves on paper.
