I absolutely loved this book. The characters were well-defined. The plot was interesting and realistic as possible. It was just the right length for the plot.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Sophie Sinclair for providing me with a complimentary digital ARC for Lost in Tuscany coming out June 14, 2024. The honest opinions expressed in this review are my own.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author. The summary seemed right up my alley. I’m obsessed with books about Italy and I could definitely relate to Summer’s situation. Growing up, I was obsessed with Under the Tuscan Sun as well, so I thought it was really funny Summer kept referencing that. I also fulfilled my lifelong dream of going to Italy last year, so it brought back some memories. I thought the story didn’t spend much time on the bike trip, but I loved it. The situation with the mom was definitely tiring. I felt bad for their strained relationship. But overall, the book was sweet and spicy. I loved it! I would definitely check out more books by this author.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys contemporary travel romances!

If you’ve seen and loved the movie, Under the Tuscan Sun, you need to buy this book. Summer Andrew’s, a usually responsible 36 year old single woman, drunkenly buys into a Tuscan bike trip while under the influence of alcohol and the movie. What follows is a very humorous and romantic adventure in Italy.

I loved the humor, descriptions of Tuscany, the romance, and Summer’s backstory which includes dealing with an alcoholic mother. The author successfully integrates the lighthearted adventure with the more serious subject matter. For me, the development of the more serious plot line enhanced the reading experience..

The ending is wonderfully satisfying and is a love letter to family and Italy. A very enjoyable read!

This was such a fun story to read, and now has me tempted to upend my own life!

I really enjoyed Summer and Ren getting to know each other, and trying to fool themselves into doing nothing.

The Barbara storyline had me very apprehensive. For anyone who’s read Abby Jimenez’s 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳, this smacked of many Amber parallels. I’m glad the whole scenario wasn’t a parallel!

I know this won’t do much this close to publishing date, but I’m going to mention these two errors that glared at me, anyway. Maybe they’re fixed in the final copy, I don’t know:

Chapter 14, end of first paragraph:
“It's like he imprinted on me that night and now I can't think of anything else.”
This is backwards. SHE (in simile) imprinted on HIM, thus her obsession with him.

A page or two later:
"Don't worry, that donkey was spoiled rotten by Nonno Rossi and did not die tragically walking in circles here. He was retired out to the pastures where he lived out many years under the blue Tuscan skies. 𝘞𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘱𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘬."
You mean 𝘿𝙀𝙎𝘾𝙀𝙉𝘿𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙎.

Publication Date: June 13, 2024
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Summer Andrews is a 36 year old graphic artist who has been very unlucky in love. One night she goes on a date with a guy from a dating app, and this date is horrible. She leaves the date, and goes home to wallow. She drinks a bottle and a half of wine and eats a bunch of cookie dough. She also watches her favorite movie, Under the Tuscan Sun. In her drunken stupor, she books a singles-only bike tour in Tuscany.

She wakes up the next morning to emails about the tour and she has no recollection of booking it. She tries to get out of it, but turns out drunken trip booking isn’t a reason for a refund. She decides to go on the trip in hopes that she will find herself and love along the way.

During the tour, she ends up in an accident and fractures her thumb. This renders her unable to finish the tour, but she really doesn’t want to leave Italy. Her accident leads her to Rossi Olive Farm where she meets Lorenzo Rossi. He’s a hot Italian man, and just what Summer needs. Will this end in true love or heartbreak?

Sophie Sinclair does a great job writing Summer’s story. She throws in humor, sadness, and lots of love.

Thanks to NetGalley and Sophie Sinclair for this ARC! I highly recommend getting this book when it releases on June 13th!

This is how I WISH my 3 months in Italy went. I can’t be mad because there’s a “smoking hot Daniella” character so I’ll take what I can get. I really enjoyed how the author didn’t drag anything out— love, arguments, miscommunications— it was all reasonable and not frustrating. I loved practicing my Italian throughout the story but thank goodness for the translations to double check. I am a Nonna Rossi stand.

This story was an emotional rollercoaster, not in a bad way.

In her drunken stupor, she purchased tickets for Tuscany. Why not go?

Synopsis: If Under The Tuscan Sun and Eat Pray Love had a baby it would be this book which sees the main character move to Italy to find love, and herself.
Pros and cons: Was this predictable? Yes. Did I love it anyways? Yes! I loved the imagery of this story, the Tuscany backdrop, and all of the Italian influences. It was a great escape and a portal to another world- everything a good book should be.
If you’re looking for a light romance with a bit of spice, definitely check out Lost In Tuscany! Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy- it comes out this week!

A charming Italian romance. A sweet family story along with issues. No bike riding or drinking olive oil for me, but gelato would be wonderful. I did skip over the intimate scenes. Fun to see my name, even if she wasn't a good person. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy. My review is voluntary.

This was cute and it made you really feel immersed in Italy! I think we’ve all had situations in life where we needed something different, and a trip to Tuscany sounds like the perfect thing. Spontaneity is exactly what’s needed sometimes, and I feel like this shows that.

After the worst date in the world and a bottle and a half of wine, Summer wakes up to find herself booked for a trip to Italy, a bike tour of Tuscany. Unable to cancel, she flies there for a two week holiday and finds herself in the hospital after a nasty bike spill. Fate intervenes and she begins working/renting out a place on an olive farm and meets an incredible family and incredibly handsome single Italian man, Lorenzo. Two weeks turn into months and she realizes she found what she has always wanted, if her life back home wouldn’t get in the way.

This romcom was cute - I adore ex-pat protagonists finding themselves in another place and Sinclair does a great job of setting the scene in Italy. There’s plenty of Italian language, food, and family mythos, and their romance is very, very sweet. I found the steamy scenes to be a bit mechanical, but they definitely weren’t the point of the book. She also deals with family trauma and addiction in a way where it is given weight but it doesn’t drag the story down with it. This is one of those books where you pretty much know how it will work out, but you are still good with it - it’s a lovely journey to get there - and it’s all about the location and the falling in love. It feels like a perfect summertime read.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.

Attention dreamers and wanderers:

If you dream of exploring the Italian countryside, and/or falling in love in Italy, then this sweet summer romance read that comes out June 14th is perfect for you!

Lost in Tuscany is about our main gal, Summer Andrews. Summer accidentally books herself a non-refundable trip to the Italian countryside. While on her trip, Summer decides that she doesn’t want to return to her life back home. Summer ends up working for the Rossi Olive Farm, and meeting the handsome and dreamy Lorenzo Rossi.

This book was giving “Letters to Juliet” and “Under the Tuscan Sun” vibes. I thought the love story was so so sweet. I cried twice (it’s hard for a book to make me cry). I did skip over most of the spicy scenes, but that’s just a personal preference.

If you love found family, enemies to lovers, and adventure, then you should add this sweet read to your summer TBR.

Check the trigger warnings before reading the book, as the book does explore alcoholism and addiction.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free digital ARC of “Lost in Tuscany” in exchange for my honest review.

“There’s something about Italy that’s magical. The people are so friendly, the views are spectacular. It’s like real-world problems don’t exist here.”

Lost in Tuscany was an amazing weekend read for me.

The novel covers the Life of Summer a graphic designer by profession in California and how one drunk evening watching her favorite movie under the Tuscan sun makes her accidentally book a bike tour in Tuscany, Italy. It was too late for her to ask refund for this serendipity eventually leading her to go on this single bike tour to Italy. Apparently, she did meet an amazing soul in Harrison, a decade younger than Summer, during the trip. I liked his character because he was the one who nudged her to extend her trip to Italy and explore the whole of Italy.

The novel follows Summer meeting the Rosso family and the hothead and handsome Lorenzo who she hooks up with & falls for and has an amazing bond with his entire family.

I like the description of Italian houses &Villas and most importantly the pizzas and gelato without which the trip to Italy is an utter waste. I loved summer's bond with Lorenzo’s Nonna(grandmother in Italian) his mother Stella& his sister Fiore, who was very sweet and easygoing. Also, she had a great friend in Clara & Damian. I envied Summer for having friends who constantly looked out for her.

I also enjoyed reading about the process of making olive oil at The Rosso family-owned olive farms,& Cafe that had a garden theme with a stunning view of Olive orchard. The major part of the book descriptively mentions the Italian food, the breathtaking and mesmerizing architecture and not to forget the detectable Italian cuisines. I drooled 🤤 at the mention of hazelnut gelato & Strawberry 🍓 shortcake 🍰 prepared by Fiore. She was an amazing chef.

What I didn't like about the novel was how it took so long for Lorenzo to realize he loved summer but was reluctant because he had a bitter past with Gabriella his ex-fiance. Also, I didn't like the character of Barbara as she was a terrible mother to Summer but later revealed how she was depressed when she had her at 16 & things get better between the mother and daughter.

I love the mention of the Italian language in multiple instances in this book. In a way it was quite educational and had a lot of information on Italy. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and did feel that I accompanied Summer to Italy 😅. The book walks us through Italian culture.

Overall I loved it. It was very different from the novels I read in the past. The character development of Summer was well written and gives us a lesson that we should explore things and not hold ourselves from the Joy we deserve. An impromptu trip taught her a lot about life and people.

If you are looking for a vacation or weekend read, this book is perfect for you, and would recommend it to the ones who fancy Italy and Italian cuisines.
All in all a fulfilling read.

Thanks, Net galley BooksGoSocial & sophie Sinclair for the ARC.

P.S. Beware of Italian Men as Lorenzo advises & Italian Drivers as suggested by Fiore.😂

Who doesn’t want to drunk book a trip to Italy and have it be non refundable and have the trip of a life time?!? Me!!! Or well Summer in this book! This books made me SQUEEE so hard!

This book was such a fun read! I love Summer and her struggle to find the right balance in her life. And to be brave and go to Italy and open to fall in love because she knows something is missing in her life. I didn’t even care that this one was single pov because urgh i can feel Renzo’s intensity and want for Summer right off the pages!

Ohh maaannn!!!! Summer and Renzo are soooo cute! GAWD! Who doesn’t want an Italian Stallion who’s a romantic and tells you how beautiful you are every day, and he can’t stop thinking about you, and stares at you like you’re the best olive in the whole world? Yes olive 😅🫒. And all the wants to do is touch you, and be with you, and is always looking for you…. - (ok IRL, it sounds sort of creepy and stalker-y, but i swear in the book these are not the vibes! 😂😅)

Urgh now I want to go back to Tuscany and eat pasta and walk through olive tree groves and be swept up in the romance of it all…..

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book was an absolute delight, a perfect blend of humor, heart, and the breathtaking scenery of the Italian countryside. This book had me laughing out loud from start to finish, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my journey to Italy. The vivid descriptions of the lush landscapes, olive groves, and quaint villages are so immersive that I often felt like I was right there in Italy, soaking in the warm sun and the rich aroma of olives.

What truly stands out in this novel is the heartwarming dynamic between Summer and Lorenzo's family. The Rossis are a vibrant and loving bunch, each member bursting with unique personality traits. They embrace Summer with open arms, making her feel like a cherished family member from the very beginning. This sense of belonging and community is beautifully portrayed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that is hard to resist.

The humor in Lost in Tuscany is another highlight. The author masterfully weaves in comedic elements through clever dialogue, amusing situations, and Summer's endearing inner monologues. There were numerous moments that had me laughing out loud. It's this lightheartedness that makes the book such a joy to read.

Never thought I would want to move to the Italian Countryside but here I am. This was such an easy, happy, read. I have never read a book by this author but when I read the description I knew I had to. It was a nice change to read about an “older” FMC vs. the college/mid-20s range. Summer is a 36-year old woman who wakes up after a terrible date and two bottles of wine to see she has booked a non-refundable trip and ends up having a summer that changes her life. Lorenzo, 34 year old who recently took over the family business, had plans, plans that are blown up by the stars. Nonna Rossi is going to make you laugh with her meddling and some slight scheming.

I could keep listing all the characters and how they all impact the book and the storyline but just know that with this book you are getting some spicy (maybe 🌶️/🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️) enemies to lovers, found family, and so much more!

I loved the Italian dialogue throughout the book but now feel it’s time for me to learn Italian but it allowed me to put myself in Summer’s shoes with not understanding what’s being said.

Check the trigger warnings before reading the book, as the book does explore alcoholism and addiction.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free digital ARC of "Lost in Tuscany" in exchange for my honest review.

This was the first book I have read from this author and it won’t be the last! I absolutely ADORED this book. I can’t be the only one who wants to sign up for a bike tour in Italy now, right?! Thank you for the opportunity to read this book!

A trip to Italy, complete with lots of pasta, gelato, and an Italian love interest?!? YES, PLEASE!

“Lost in Tuscany” was laugh-out-loud funny, steamy, and deeply emotional all in one! I had a hard time putting this book down! I’ve never been to Italy, but I felt like I was there as I read. If I didn’t already have a trip to Italy booked, I would be buying a plane ticket after reading this! I gave this book 4.5 ⭐️!

(Thanks Net Galley and publishers for an advanced copy!)

Review:
Lost in Tuscany is a delightful escape into the heart of Italy, filled with humor, romance, and self-discovery. Sophie Sinclair masterfully captures the essence of Tuscany with vivid descriptions that transport readers to its rolling hills, olive farms, and charming villages. The author's engaging prose and well-paced narrative make for an enjoyable and immersive reading experience.

Summer Andrews is a relatable and endearing protagonist. Her journey from a predictable, duty-bound woman to someone who embraces adventure and self-confidence is both inspiring and heartwarming. Lorenzo Rossi, with his enigmatic charm and deep connection to his family's olive farm, is the perfect romantic counterpart to Summer. Their chemistry is palpable, and their relationship unfolds naturally and beautifully.

The secondary characters, including the quirky cyclists and Summer's overbearing mother, add depth and humor to the story. The mishaps and adventures that Summer encounters on her bike tour provide plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, balancing the more emotional and romantic aspects of the narrative.

One of the standout themes in the book is the idea of stepping out of one's comfort zone and embracing life's unpredictability. Summer's transformation and the choices she faces resonate with anyone who has ever felt torn between duty and desire. Sinclair's portrayal of Tuscany as a place of beauty, romance, and self-discovery is both captivating and evocative.

Final Thoughts:
Lost in Tuscany is a delightful read that will appeal to fans of romance and women's fiction. Sophie Sinclair's ability to blend humor, romance, and self-discovery into a compelling story makes this book a standout. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or someone who dreams of exploring new places, this novel offers a perfect escape to the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany.

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

If you're looking for a heartwarming and humorous romance set against the stunning backdrop of Tuscany, Lost in Tuscany by Sophie Sinclair is a must-read. Get ready to fall in love with Summer and Lorenzo's enchanting story!

Thank you Sophie Sinclair and @netgalley for the advanced copy!
Summer accidentally purchased a bike tour in Italy after a horrible first date and a few bottles of wine…which results in several new adventures and the most heartfelt romance with an Italian man. I loved the characters and the family dynamics that were touched in this novel. I feel like I want to sign up for a tour in Italy after this…but maybe with an electronic bike.

Definitely a cute must read #newromancebook 🥰

This checked off everything I look for in a book. Was not disappointed. Really enjoyed this book. I will read more from this author. Must read

Summer Andrews starts her adventures in Tuscany on a group bicycle trip that comes to an end when she injures her hand in an accident. Not ready to go home, she finds a job and housing at an olive farm. While Summer started her trip trying to escape from her life, she ends up finding love, family and happiness. I liked experiencing Tuscany through Summer's experiences and found myself rooting for her. This is a perfect summer read.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5. Lost in Tuscany is such a lovely book. Thirty-six year old Summer Andrews is stuck in a monotonous life and has been unlucky in love. She drunkenly books a bike tour in Italy and finds it to be nonrefundable in the sober light of day. She decides she needs an adventure hoping to meet the love of her life much like the heroine in her favorite movie. During the tour, Summer decides to prolong her stay in Italy for the summer, and lands herself on the doorstep of the Rossi Olive Farm for a job and lodging. Lorenzo Rossi is the son who is running the Italian side of the olive business. Summer must decide if her fate is to remain in Italy at Lorenzo's side.
Sophie Sinclair wrote a really heartwarming story, I found myself laughing at parts and smiling through the book. It is told only through Summer's point of view. The reader really gets to know her better and her developing relationship with the Rossi family. The setting of this small town in Tuscany was brought to life in my mind and I found myself wishing I could go visit with Nonna and to eat Lorenzo's sister's food. Summer's romantic adventure had me hooked from the start. This was my first book by this author, but will not be my last. Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC of this book. All opinions are mine alone.

Take me away to Tuscany in this five-star read. I have done many a drunken click and then woken the next morning, never a holiday, but never say never, there is a certain lemon festival, or even an olive festival if I can find one that may push me over the edge. Find your passion for Italian olives and love in this amazing story that sweeps you up and reads as smoothly as the most delicious olive oil. This story will wrap you up into the pages and have you booking a peloton class in no time. Or even looking at a new bathroom suite, as a certain sales man has a wonderful story to come I hope.

A cute summer romance that flew by! Summer books a Tucson bike ride after a horribly bad date and ends up staying the full summer. It’s very Under The Tucson Sun, and a feel good, happy, predictable book. It was just a great story, the drama not overly done and I love the ending!

An easy read that would be great for summer. I always love an Italian setting so it had the perfect atmosphere, the story is funny and heartwarming and the characters are sweet. There is a nice balance of humour, romance and found family

This is such a perfect summer read that wisps you away to the beautiful countryside in Italy. Between the Italian language, the scenery, the pizza and pasta the author transport s you there. OHHHH what an escape, SIGH!
Add in the sweet love story, I mean who wouldn’t want to be swooned by a handsome Italian Stallion. (Another SIGH)
I love the way Sophie Sinclair uses humor that actually made me smile and giggle a bit. There was romance, laughter, issues with alcoholism along with Summer (the main character) finding a sense of family. This story is a feel good Happily Ever After that I fell in love with.
This was my first novel by Sophie Sinclair and she has me sold. I will definitely be reading more from her..
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC and thank you to Sophie for filling my last few days dreaming of returning to Italy.

Just finished Lost in Tuscany by Sophie Sinclair, and wow, what a delightful escape! The beautiful descriptions of Tuscany made me feel like I was there, wandering through charming villages and vineyards. I absolutely loved the characters! They were well-developed and relatable, making the story even more engaging. The romance was swoon-worthy and perfectly paced, with just the right amount of tension and sweetness. The plot kept me hooked from start to finish with its mix of romance and adventure.

If you’re looking for a book that transports you to a dreamy Italian getaway, this one’s for you. It’s perfect for a summer read or whenever you need a little escape.

This was so good! Took me back to my days living in Italy. I loved all the Italian banter, the setting which felt like another character and all the friendships made.

I loved this book so much! And the cover is absolutely beautiful! This book made me feel like I was in Italy. And the romance was perfect!

Fab read and setting. Summer makes a drunken booking for a cycling holiday in Tuscany that will change her life, but will she take a chance when she has ties back home in the states still?

I was in the mood for a cutesy small town romance and this one checked all the boxes and more!!! Small town romance set in Italy?? perfection!

Summer feels lost in her life and ends up drunkenly booking a trip to Italy to try and find what’s missing in her life, little does she know that in that little trip of hers she will not only find herself, but the family she was missing all along.

This book was amazing for just stepping away from reality and bit and getting transported to the olive farms in Tuscany, Sophie Sinclair described the settings with such detail that the whole book felt like a movie. It was the perfect combination between romance, humor and spice, loved every second ♥️

I chose to read this book because the title reminded me of the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun." Little did I know, the Mian character loves the movie.

At first, it was cute, then it was sweet, then sexy, and finally, it was beautiful.

I rarely rate things five stars, but I truly loved this book. It had the right amount of spice with the right amount of romance.

I especially loved reading it while listening to my favourite vintage Italian summer playlist I always listen to when my husband cooks pasta.

The two main characters were both likeable, the only character who slightly annoyed me was the mom and best friend, but they were flawed like real people and both redeem themselves.

This was such a good love story and I don't know how another book will top it this year.

Cute light easy read that makes you wanna get lost in Tuscany

Summer is looking for love when she drunkingly signs up for bike ride around Tuscany. However her trip abruptly ends and she ends up on Rossi olive oil farm

Thank you NetGalley for the arc

Thank you NetGalley and 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴𝘎𝘰𝘚𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 for a copy of “Lost In Tuscany” by Sophie Sinclair. This non spoilers review is of my own honest opinion.

If I have a midlife crisis, make it Italian. Summer is on her singles bike tour in Italy that she books while drunk (relatable). After a biking accident (and a hot Italian doctor), Summer finds herself on Nonna Rossi’s doorstep. She soon starts working for the family Olive farm and falling in love with Italy (and her boss). I feel like Nonna is the true star of this book. She is so charming and a bit scary! This book made me laugh, cry and crave Italian food. Sophie Sinclair wrote such heartwarming book, I imagine I'll be reaching for this in physical form to annotate all my favorite bits.

Summer is bored with her life and after watching "Under the Tuscan Sky" she books a bicycle tour in Italy. Her life at home is complicated with her helpless, alcoholic mother always popping up, but she goes on the tour regardless. After being injured on the bike tour she ends up deciding on staying awhile and finds a job at an olive ranch. There she meets Lorenzo. Lorenzo is smitten from the start but tries to keep away, but can't. They grow closer and enjoy spending more time together until Summer is pulled back home by her mother having an accident. This was pretty good. It was slow to start for me and I almost DNF, but picked up as I went on.

I absolutely ate this book up! The family dynamic, the humor, the LOCATION, & the adventure! Summer was relatable & I resonated with her character in ways I didn’t expect!

I really loved this book. It was extremely well written. The romance is on point. I loved the characters so much. There was a lot of chemistry. This book is emotional and pulls at your heart strings.

"Lost in Tuscany" by Sophie Sinclair is an absolute gem of a novel that swept me off my feet. Summer Andrews, a relatable and endearing protagonist, finds herself on an unexpected adventure after a drunken booking leads her to a singles-only bike tour through Tuscany. What starts as a comedy of errors quickly evolves into a heartwarming and beautifully told story of self-discovery, love, and family.

Summer's journey from a predictable life in the States to embracing the unpredictability of her new surroundings is wonderfully crafted. Lorenzo is the quintessential charming Italian hero, while Nonna Rossi steals the show with her mix of sternness and warmth. What I loved most about "Lost in Tuscany" is its ability to blend lighthearted, laugh-out-loud moments with deeper, more poignant themes of self-worth, duty, and the search for happiness. Summer's internal struggle and her ultimate choice between duty and following her heart are handled with grace and sensitivity, making her journey all the more compelling.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

I adored this book! I am always looking for fiction books about travel and they are hard to find but this one checked all the boxes I look for! The setting of Tuscany but especially the town of Tuttoscano and the olive farm where the main character, Summer, stays were all described so wonderfully, in just enough detail to understand why she feels a connection to this place. The tension between Summer and Lorenzo was top tier. Their connection and desire was believable and the build up was so well done and satisfying! I loved the whole Rossi family taking Summer in, even the stray cat, and how she feels surrounded by people who love and support her for the first time after being raised by her single, and often absent, teen mom. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves found family, journeys of self discovery and learning how to put yourself first for once or simply to anyone looking for an escape to Italy.

I didn't want this book to end. I coaxed myself into reading the first few chapters and after a while I couldn't put the book down. "Under the Tuscan Sun" was referenced many times, however, I felt like this book was much better. Each Italian family member was such a wonderful addition to the story and easy to follow because of their characteristics and well written descriptions. I almost wish the book was longer. I was so sad when I completed it. The little Italian phrases were fun to follow along with and made me want to take Italian lessons as well. Summer Andrews was just the leading woman I wanted to read about. I am excited to read more from Sophie Sinclair.

Great setting, engaging plot and characters🌄🚲

4-4.5🌟stars
I found Lost in Tuscany a really enjoyable, light romance with undoubted reflections of and numerous references to the movie Under the Tuscan Sun about an American woman who impulsively transplants her life to Tuscany. Female lead graphic artist Summer Andrews loved that movie and at a low point drunkenly books a nonrefundable bike tour of Tuscany late one evening. She's definitely not an athlete and ends up enduring the biking until an accident fortuitously ends the tour but launches her into temporarily living the rural Tuscan life on an olive farm, welcomed there by an elderly owner who believes in "signs" and puts her to work in the olive oil tasting boutique. Of course, Nonna has a handsome, single son who runs the lucrative business and the romance is set.

Nonna and her extended family were strong secondary characters, right down to playboy doctor Angelo. I liked the way the author incorporated translations for the Italian dialogue by having people translate for Summer, who comes to Italy knowing only a few words of the language. And the drama with Summer's mother back in California added some obstacles and poignancy to the romance. Male lead Lorenzo's moves to keep the fire burning between him and Summer really made for a heartwarming ending.

There's not a lot of touring apart from a brief visit to Pisa and some nook and cranny villages in the countryside, but author Sophie Sinclair does a good job setting the farming, picturesque hills and small town Italian scene. I would definitely read more by this author.

Thanks to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

This book was phenomenal! The characters were so likable and sweet. I really enjoyed the location of the book as well. I didn’t feel as if the author rushed through this book, but took their time with letting us get to know the main characters, so we felt connected to them. A really cute read!

I absolutely loved this book. I felt like I was transported to Tuscany. As someone that loves olives, olive oil & business, the little tidbits were enjoyable.

This was such a heartwarming story, I loved this so much, I will definitely revisit this book in the future.

It’s the perfect summer read and I loved how there’s Italian phrases in the book where the reader can easily learn it because it’s translated afterwards.

Perfect summer romance book 🥰

Thank you to BooksGoSocial, Sophie Sinclair and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book.

Thank you Sophie for the advanced copy! As always, I love Sophie’s writing and stories, and Lost in Tuscany was no different! I adored the aspect of found family too. Summer and Lorenzo’s relationship was sweet & hot!

The only thing that got a tad annoying was Summer’s friend, solely because she only came around to being happy for Summer at the end, which was a shame.

I’ve read all of Sophie's books and can honestly recommend all of them! I can’t wait to see what’s next!

This author has figured out a great way to combine humor, heart and of course a wonderful happy ending. Thank you for the advance copy!

As an ARC, I had the pleasure of diving into this delightful story before its official release, and I have to say, it did not disappoint. I rated it 4 stars for its captivating setting and heartwarming narrative.
The romance is sweet and engaging, with well-developed characters who are easy to root for. The main couple’s journey is filled with adorable moments, genuine chemistry, and just the right amount of tension to keep things interesting. It’s a feel-good story that left me smiling and yearning for my own Tuscan adventure.
Overall, Lost in Tuscany is a lovely escape to the heart of Italy, perfect for those who dream of wandering through vineyards and experiencing a sweet, romantic adventure. I highly recommend it to fellow hopeless romantics and travel enthusiasts.

This story focuses on Summer, who is in her mid-thirties and on a whim books a single bike trip to Italy. She is hoping to find something other than bad dates and a mundane job. A bike accident and another leap of faith have her staying in Italy for the summer with the Rossi olive oil family.

Overall, this is a light summer read, with all the key elements: scenic backdrop, hot Italian guy, FMC trying to find herself and of course family drama. The main love story really felt like insta love for me and that was a little hard for me to believe. I would have liked a little more development of their relationship. I loved the Rossi family, they are great and remind me of my own Italian family! If you need something light and a palate cleanser or beach read definitely give this one a try. I also now want to learn how to speak fluent Italian!

Rating: 3..5-4/5

Thank you to BooksGoSocial, Sophie Sinclair and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review

Honestly did not want this book to end! It was the perfect book to read this summer. I was purposely riding this book out because I didn’t want it to end. The first time in a while that a book made a movie in my head. I loved everything about this! Who wouldn’t want to say F it and book a trip to Italy and end up falling in love?? Barbara got on my nerves though, but I’m glad she got better!

'Older' main characters running away and re-inventing themselves? Sign me up! My expectations for Lost in Tuscany were sky high, and boy did Sophie Sinclair ever meet every single of my expectations. This is without a doubt the perfect summer romance!

Adorable! What a perfect read on my flight to Florence before spending a week in a Tuscan villa! The vivid descriptions made me feel like I was already there. I want to eat everything Flora cooked and be loved by the whole Rossi family. A charming novel perfect for fans of under the Tuscan sun.

Thank you to Net Galley and Sophie Sinclair for the ARC!

After drunkenly booking a bike tour through the scenic Tuscan hills, Sophie takes a tumble and falls straight into the arms of a handsome Italian. But here, the story is just beginning. Her Italian summer escape encapsulates everything you could want from a fun summer read!
I drank this book up. The writing was excellent, sparkling and fun, and the descriptions of Italy brought the country to life. I will be dreaming of lasagne under a starry Italian sky until I can make it a reality.
A feel good beach read I would recommend to anyone about to book their summer vacation (especially to Italy!)

Thank you to BooksGoSocial and Sophie Sinclair for the opportunity to review Lost In Tuscany in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Within the first chapter of Lost In Tuscany, I knew I would fall in love with this story as soon as it mentioned one of my favourite movies, Under The Tuscan Sun. I love a story where the protagonist seizes a moment, flings themselves into an adventure, and rediscovers/reinvents themselves. Stories of transformation are powerful and inspiring and fill me with hope, especially with a protagonist who's an older female character. I feel like in the world of fiction, everyone is stuck under the age of 35. I immediately fell in love with the protagonist, Summer Andrews, a character who loves Under the Tuscan Sun, who is my type of gal.

Summer Andrews finds her inner Frances to channel to make her own Under the Tuscan Sun adventure come true with a smaller-scale house remodeling. She falls in love with her quintessential enigmatic, handsome Italian boss, Lorenzo Rossi, while working on his family's Olive farm. The romance is full of sweet, adorable moments as they try to resist the attraction with a perfect balance of allure and tension. As their connection deepens, their relationship heats up a bit of spice, and all things are nice.

Sophie Sinclar brings to life the essence of Tuscany with her gorgeous writing with incredible accuracy, immersing the reader into the Tuscan landscape filled with rolling hills and patchwork countryside home to vineyards, olive groves, and charming villages. You can feel the sun on your face, smell the aroma of all the vividly described cooking that will make your mouth water, and soak in the soul of Tuscan's magical light around sunset and the golden glow that traverses across the landscape like a sea of liquid gold.

Her storytelling blends heart-warming romance, complex troubles of human relationships, pain and trauma that can inflict on us, and the strife of doing our duty and longing for the freedom to cast off our chains to follow our heart to deliver a charming, emotional, and engaging tale.
One qualm I have with all these books about moving or going to run off to another country in fiction – immigration and border control don't seem to exist or mind these characters flitting off to live and work anywhere they please. If only life were like that.

Lost In Tuscany is pure escapism – a charming, heart-warming romance that basks in the glow of the beautiful scenery of the Tuscan landscape. The twists and turns of this story will break your heart and lift you with the romance and adventure at the heart of the story – woven with comical moments to keep the story light, fresh with clever dialogue and amusing incidents.

An unexpected delight. The perfect summer read. It’s full of adorable scenes that make you feel all warm and gooey inside. Plus, there’s the bonus of a cute meddlesome grandmother and the beautiful Italian countryside. Highly recommended for a light summer read.

Lost in Tuscany treats us to Summer, who has drunkenly planned a trip to Italy. She is going solo and makes the most of this once in a lifetime opportunity. When Summer’s path leads her to the Rossi Olive Farm, she meets Lorenzo Rossi and begs the question - Is love a possibility? Can Summer trust herself and heart to this Italian family? Found family meets obligation to home and family in a way that felt relatable. I found myself cheering for Summer and that she’d be able to have the love she deserves.

And the setting of ITALY!

*Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the vivid descriptions of Tuscany! (It’s on my bucket list to visit some day). This book was about self discovery and had a blend of romance as well. It was a delightful read!

Definitely a fun summer read! I was instantly hooked and loved how much imagery was given it makes you feel like you’re truly there!

I really enjoyed Summer’s Tuscan story
I could picture the farm, I could taste the food. It is beautifully written stories like this that take me on a journey without leaving my home.
A beautiful story that also touched on some more serious sides of life also
Inspiration for me to travel to Italy - thank you

I received this book from netgalley , the author and the publicer as an ARC . Thank you . All thoughts and opinions are my own .

I’ll confess I don’t read nearly as many romance novels as I do mysteries and thrillers. However this story was such a pleasant surprise! This was also my first novel experience by Sophie Sinclair, and her writing is beautiful, descriptive, and kept my attention the entire story. The character development was wonderful, and my heart was literally aching for them throughout the story. I was very pleased with the ending as well, and look forward to more books by this author. I absolutely loved it!

I did enjoyed reading this book.

Summer gets so drunk one night that she books and pays for completely a holiday in Italy (I admit I cannot imagine someone so drunk as to function enough to research, buy and speak to people on the phone, and then not remember anything about that the following morning).
Anyway, she goes to Italy, has an accident that prevents her from finishing the tour, and decides to stay there.
Of course, she meets an old lady that gives her house and a job and she gets to stay in a lovely town where she meets adorable people and the love of her life.

As a rom-com, it checks all the boxes. The girl is kind of lost in life, her love interest is handsome, manly, but open about his feelings, the old lady is both charming and "scary", the surroundings are perfect.
I would have liked to see a bit more depth in the characters. I think her mother's drinking issues are just decorative and treated lightly, just the conflict needed to separate the couple.

Other than that, it serves its purpose and is entertaining.

Thanks NetGalley and the author for my ARC.

For fans of the film Under the Tuscan Sun, this story is a must read.
The main character Summer Andrews is an unlucky in love character, who after yet, another unsuccessful date, drowns herself in sorrow and watches Under the Tuscan Sun and decides to book a holiday in Tuscany. When she realises what she's done the next day, she decides to go for it and see what happens.
What happens is that we, the reader are taken on an amazing, beautiful adventure with Summer

This story focuses on Summer, who is in her mid-thirties and on a whim books a single bike trip to Italy. She is hoping to find something other than bad dates and a mundane job. A bike accident and another leap of faith have her staying in Italy for the summer with the Rossi olive oil family.

Overall, this is a light summer read, with all the key elements: scenic backdrop, hot Italian guy, FMC trying to find herself and of course family drama. The main love story really felt like insta love for me and that was a little hard to believe. I would have liked a little more development of their relationship. I loved the Rossi family, they are great and remind me of my own Italian family! If you need something light, a palate cleanser or beach read definitely give this one a try. I also now want to learn how to speak fluent Italian!

Summer is tired of cleaning up after her mother, Barbara, who is an alcoholic. One day, she accidentally signs up for a cycling tour in Tuscany. As no refunds are possible, she decides to bite the bullet and enjoy a summer vacation there.

Little does she know that her trip turns into three months of whirlwind romance with Lorenzo, whom she ends up working for. He is the owner of an olive farm empire and he and his huge extended family soon treats Summer as their own family.

To Summer, this is just what she needs and I was so happy that she can finally find a place, or rather someone to be rooted to! The Italian language is pure hotness 🔥 and makes me root for the couple to finally end up together, just like meddling but loving Nonna Rossi. The author also expertly invokes memories of my long-ago trip to Florence and Pisa throughout the book.

Omg! My heart is soo full. I am in awe of Lorenzo. Like I might need to go to Italy.

Summer needs a change and apparently drunk Summer drank a bit too much wine and watch her favorite movie a bit too much and she booked a tour! Now she has to figure out how to BIKE! But an accident changes all that and she just happens to decide that California can live without her for a bit longer. She finds an Olive Oil Farm looking for an extra set of hands and just maybe it was written in the stars that she arrived at the perfect time

This book was fabulously designed. It was hallmark and Netflix romance all mashed together in the most delightful way. It had some spice that I wasn’t expecting but made it more fun. The characters were fantastic. Like I need Lorenzo but also won’t mind have Nonna as well. I loved Summer growth and Cara’s honesty. It just felt so real. I wish I could start from scratch and reread it all over again. Also OLIVE OIL FARM, this was beyond creative to me. I’m so used to reading about falling in love at a winery.

If you are a fan of Letters to Juliet, this book made me feel the same way that movie did

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and Sophie Sinclair for the ARC of this book

very cute romance, I really enjoyed it.
it's typical rom-com, a girl who's in love with love looking for the love of her life, a girl with mommy issues and being loved issues.
she doesn't think she's enough. the first meeting with the male character is typical too, he finds her attractive but he is "mean" to her. But then realize he's attracted to her but he can't act on it cause he was burned once and has a lot going on in his life? but at the same time he always finds himself around her??

my favorite character has to be the grandmother!!!! I loved her wit so much

I adored this book! Summer is such a relatable and inspiring character—her spontaneous decision to book a trip to Italy while a bit tipsy makes me want to follow in her footsteps. It was empowering to see her prioritize herself for a change, especially since she’s always been the one looking out for everyone else. The romance between the two main characters was beautifully done and felt just right. I initially thought the bike tour would play a major role in the story, so I was pleasantly surprised that it was only a small part of the book. This choice really allowed the focus to stay on Summer's personal journey and the romantic plot, making the story even more engaging.

Fenomenale!!! I adore this book! So many great topics were written about for the MC. I felt like I was in Italy with Summer! Sophie Sinclair never disappoints me, please keep your books coming!! Thank you for an advanced copy to read and provide my input on this masterpiece. This book felt like a hug and left me with the biggest smile on my face

i simply loved this book. it had everything!! romance, personal struggles and ambitions. It was a super smooth read and the chemistry between Lorenzo and Summer was so good.

Thank you to Net Galley for giving me the chance to read this book in advance of the release date! It has been an incredible experience and I will most likely read from this author again!

I absolutely loved this book!
Summer Andrews is stuck in a rut at work, and dealing with drama from her mother. She drunk books a bike tour in Italy, and ends up on an adventure that will change her life. I adore the characters in this book, especially Nonna. This book was fun, and I didn't want to put it down. It made me want to read more by Sophie Sinclair. Well done!

I just finished *Lost in Tuscany*, and it was such a charming, light romance! The story follows Summer Andrews, a graphic artist who, after a rough day, drunkenly books a nonrefundable bike tour in Tuscany. She’s not really the athletic type, so when an accident cuts the tour short, she ends up staying on a cozy olive farm instead. The sweet elderly owner takes her in and puts her to work in their olive oil tasting boutique. And, of course, there’s a handsome, single son, Lorenzo, who runs the business—cue the romance!

The supporting characters, especially Nonna and her family, were so fun and well-written. I loved how the Italian dialogue was naturally translated through Summer’s interactions since she barely knows any Italian. The bit of drama with Summer’s mum back in California added a nice touch of emotion, and Lorenzo’s sweet efforts to keep their relationship alive made for a heartwarming ending.

Although there wasn’t a ton of sightseeing beyond a quick trip to Pisa and some cute villages, Sophie Sinclair did a great job capturing the beauty of the Tuscan countryside. I would definitely recommend this book if you're dreaming of wine tastings in Tuscany!

Summer is struggling, her life in California is slightly falling apart and she no longer feels the excitement she had for her job when she started it. After an awful date, leading to her crazy drunken state, she books a bike tour across Tuscany. A few more accidents and she ends up at the front door of Rossis olive oil farm begging for a job.

The Italian setting is truly gorgeous, I felt transported into a land of deliciously smelling food, warm shining sun, quaint rural towns and the romantic Italian language. It was beautifully descriptive.

The love story was precious, Summer was keen and set on Lorenzo despite his set backs and busy life style. They were truly made for eachother and their dedication showed it. It was a story of self discovery, fun, and learning what truly matters in life. The laughter and jokes echoed through the pages, the side characters were hilarious and so full of wisdom. There was your classic, rom-com kiss in the rain, which was too die for. This book was filled with angst and sexual tension.

I would highly recommend Lost in Tuscany for anyone who is searching for a summery, tasty romance to read on vacation🫶

Man, this book made my heart ready to burst.
The whole Hallmark movie logic was delightful to read. I loved how unrealistic it was.
Seriously, what is the possibility of drunk-booking a flight to Italy, go on a bike tour, have an accident, end up renting a house from a lovely billionaire nonna and fall in love? I'm not a math genius, but it's way too close to zero.
However, part of the book's charm was how farfetched it was. Believe it or not, it made it easier to be swept in wholly.
The main characters, Summer and Lorenzo, had explosive chemistry. Like, I'm-blushing-even-when-it's-an-innocent-scene chemistry.
I loved how tuned into one another both were. They were both adorably trying to fight their feelings but obviously couldn't.
The setting and the side characters were fantastic, they genuinely made the book one of my favorites this year.
Highly recommend.

This book makes you fall in love with Italy, love and adventure. We go on a journey with Summer who hasn’t had the easiest life growing up and dealing with the BS now of being single and online dating in your 30’s. When one night she makes a mistake and abuses her credit card with an impromptu trip to Italy changes her life. We meet the Rossi family, and if you don’t know Italian families you don’t understand how it is to become instant familia. If you love fun rom coms, grandma/nonnas and good food then this is the book for you. Thank you Netgallery and Sophie Sinclair for choosing me to be an arc reader for this book.

I wish I could tell you how much I enjoyed this book! I couldn't wait to get home from work when I was reading it so I could transport myself to Italy and into the lives of Summer and Lorenzo. The bits of Italian interspersed throughout were fun. And who doesn't enjoy a sassy, meddling Italian nonna?!

thank you netgalley for the e-arc. perfect book centered around a woman in her mid-thirties. i loved the descriptions of the landscapes and the food. the writing was so well done.

Lighthearted, fun summer read. Lorenzo was the perfect MMC, and Nonna was amazing.

My only gripe - as a girl from Florence, is that he beginning in the email from the tour agency, it mentions that they will organize travel from “Florence to Tuscany”. That’s like saying you’ll organize travel from Rome to Italy. Florence is the capital of Tuscany…so yeah. You can organize travel around it but you’re already there. Minor detail but one that stuck out.

Other than that it was a lovely read - who doesn’t love an enemies to lovers with a little bit of a scheming Nonna tossed in!? Ultimately, Summer got her Under the Tuscan Sun romance!
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

This was a very sweet romantic comedy. Summer was very relatable to me. She is accident prone and definitely gets herself into some comical situations. The Rossi family was so welcoming and loving. After reading this book I want to book myself a bicycle tour of Italy.

This wasn’t exactly what I imagined - some interesting twists in the plot. A really enjoyable, light red. I liked the characters and the setting was pretty with some giggles along the way.

What a delightful read! The setting is enchanting, and Sophie masterfully transports you to the romantic Italian countryside. The book strikes a perfect balance of humour, romance, and steam, while the theme of found family adds a touching layer. It was truly a pleasure to read.

Summer is having a bit of a “midlife crisis” when she drunkenly books a bike tour in Italy. Brave enough to go, I absolutely loved following her journey to self-discovery. She ends up at the Rossi Olive Farm, where she meets Lorenzo, who tries to keep his distance. Their palpable tension makes him a top book boyfriend—sweet, thoughtful, and protective, especially when he speaks Italian to Summer 😍.

Lorenzo’s family adds so much heart, especially as Summer grapples with her mom. I’d love to taste Fiore’s cooking, tour the olive farm, and meet the lively Nonna, whose shenanigans had me laughing out loud.

Having read all of Sophie’s books, I’m always eager to reread them. Her witty banter, hilarious moments, and swoon-worthy romantic scenes never fail to impress. Plus, her found families always tug at my heartstrings 🥹.

Add this to your summer reading list—you won’t regret it!

Italy, sun, summer, vacation, vineland, grapes, food, countryside, and of course, love. What more can a girl ask for. It’s all there in this delightful book. This is a hilarious love adventure who the main character Summer who was drunk while booking a trip only to find out it’s not the type of vacation she wants but ends up going.
I have laughed, giggled, sighed, weeped and smiled while reading the novel. It’s such an endearing romance novel that will still stick with you long after reading it. I can still remember this story couple months after reading it( I know I’m late. I’ve been so busy since summer hit!)
This book gets 4 1/2 stars from me and I’ll be recommending it to anyone who’s interested.
Thank Netgalley and Sophia Sinclair for this sweet charming eARC. As usual, all of my reviews are purely my own opinions without any influence from any publisher.

Where are my romance and romcom lovers at!?! Or anyone who loves a fast-paced story that combines humor, strong women, and a whole lotta steam!

From the very beginning I just wanted to move to Tuscany just so I could hang out with this amazing cast of characters…and obviously it’s Italy, so why wouldn’t I want to jump right into this book!?!

Like all her other books, Sophie Sinclair writes a story that has you wanting to jump into the pages! There is always a bunch of laugh-out-loud moments, quirky characters, heart, friendship, and just the best kind of storyline to lose yourself in.

But the best part, like in all her books, are the real characters that take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions making your heart melt, has you getting good and angry, crying, and almost peeing your pants laughing - Oh the humor in this story is just the best! And I just loved the way I was able to relate and connect with each character.

As for the romance...This is an enemies to lovers that brings all the steam and tension I love!

If you are looking for a slow burn romance with tension, discovery and Italian atmosphere, then this book is for you.

🔥Steam level: Open door

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was wonderful!

I can never say no to a romance set in Italy and I whole heartedly blame that on the Lizzie McGuire movie! Sophie Sinclair's writing made me want to quit my job and move to Tuscany even more than I already did. The banter, romance and steam make for a top notch combination that most people will love! I will be recommending this to several of my friends!!

A great enemies to lovers rom-com with loads of tension and steam!! I love Italy and I love being immersed in it, this book was perfect for that. I received an advance copy from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

WOW WOW wowwwww oh Lorenzo he will make you be smitten with him. Fantastic read excited to read more by Sophie Sinclair. Her writing style is why I love romance books!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. What a great novel to read. Well written, entertaining and a story to love. I highly recommend the book to all who love Italy, the people and the food

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC of Lost in Tuscany by Sophie Sinclair.

Wow, did I wait to long to read such a great book…YES!! I kept putting it off as it was another new to me author and I had a few duds lately, but don’t be mislead by the cover or even the description thinking it will only be about bike riding in Italy. It is so much more. Have I ever wanted to be a MC more than I wanted to be Summer, or want the book boyfriend to be real, cause come on…Lorenzo 😍🥰. Seriously, this is funny, and romantic and all the things you would hope for in a book about Italy. And now I’m dreaming of a trip to Italy. I really thought, why is this not set in a vineyard, why an olive farm? Who cares!!! By the end of the book I would work on an olive farm to have the experience that Summer did, minus the mom drama.

All this to say, if you enjoy travel, dreaming of travel, and dreamy foreign guys…grab this book and read. Once I did start, I didn’t want to put it down. Unfortunately I did have to sleep. Quite a good read!!!
