Blog Tour: The Italian Job by Kathryn Freeman*

 

'Dream job. Dream house. Fake fiancé.
A year in a gorgeous Italian castle…
When Anna Roberts’ life implodes, an online search leads her to an ad for the ultimate dream job – management of a gorgeous castle on the shores of Lake Como, accommodation included. The only catch? Anna can’t do it alone…

…With the last man on earth she’d choose!
The castle owners will only accept a couple as caretakers, which means Anna needs a man on her arm at the interview. Enter her neighbour, Jake Tucker. Though Anna and Jake have never seen eye-to-eye, Jake’s had a rough few years and an escape to Italy sounds ideal. Yet, when they get the job and jet off, Anna and Jake face an unexpected challenge. Pretending to be a couple is difficult … but pretending the tension simmering between them doesn’t exist is quickly proving impossible!'

This is the story of Anna and Jake, two people who do not get on. Their story is told over the course of 36 Chapters and an Epilogue. This story is very easy to get into and with a beginning that will intrigue readers and make them want to dive into this story. 

One aspect of this story that I loved was the job. It really is the dream job. Being in gorgeous Italy and living in a castle. If this job exists sign me up! 

Anna is a chef who is very organised and loves a good to do list. Whereas Jake doesn't like to be told what to do but who also enjoys his freedom. His past makes him enjoy his freedom even more. 

As this story progresses the reader gets to witness these enemies become lovers. Though this road is not smooth at all but readers will get to watch as their walls come down and lust makes an appearance. 

Now let's talk about the Author Kathryn Freeman, who for as long as she can remember has always wanted to write a book. It may have something to do with her obsession with reading romance. However real life interfered and she headed off in a different direction - into the world of Science, becoming a pharmacist before joining the pharmaceutical industry. She did end up writing but it was about disease and medicine. Decades later, she is finally doing what she always wanted to do. Kathryn has a husband who asks every Valentine's Day whether he has to buy a card ( the answer is yes), so all the romance in her life is in her head. Then again, his unstinting support of her career change proves love isn't always about hearts and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises.

Overall i thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is not my first by this author and it certainly won't be my last. Her books are easy to read rom coms that draw readers in with new book boyfriends and some dreamy locations. You can get your copy HERE
