A wonderful, little festive rom-com...... This is actually book one from a two book series called WanderLove Italia. Even though each book can very easily be read as a stand alone, they are always much better when enjoyed as part of the whole series. Alba Home For Christmas is a wonderful Christmas In July festive rom-com and had a gorgeous Italian setting. It features a sexy, guitar playing American, was very charming and lighthearted, was full of festive fun, friends-to-lovers, second chances, a slow burn and unexpected romance. I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful festive story and I will definitely be coming back for more..... --BookBub Review (5 stars) The Perfect Blend of Italian Charm and Personal Growth This was a very well-written novella that uses a charming Italian holiday setting to tell a surprisingly deep story. While marketed as a romantic comedy, I actually found it leaned more toward self-discovery than a typical romance, which was a refreshing change of pace. The author, Leau Macy, does a great job making you feel like you're right there with Melina in the Italian Piedmont region, enjoying the food, wine, and atmosphere. Melina's journey to sort out her feelings after a breakup is relatable and engaging. The ending was not what I expected, but in a way that felt authentic to Melina's personal growth and journey. If you're looking for an escapist rom-com with a focus on a character finding herself, I highly recommend this read! --Amazon Review (4 Stars) Love a good Christmas story! This novella was a delightful read - a sweet escape with just the right touch of whimsy. I especially enjoyed the adventure to Italy; it brought a charming, almost cinematic quality to the story that made it easy to get lost in the setting. While I found myself wishing for a bit more depth in the character development, the overall tone and pacing were satisfying for a shorter work. One moment that really stuck with me was this quote: ""...laughs, and the sound of it, the ease of it is like a kind of comfort food."" It perfectly captured the warmth and connection between the characters, and it lingered with me long after I turned the last page. A cozy, whimsical read - perfect for a weekend afternoon. --Goodreads Review (3 stars)
