Hi, review posted here https://jennyobrienwriter.wordpress.com/2017/08/06/the-secrets-of-villa-rossa/ and author aware x

Whenever Linn.B.Halton releases a new novel, it's as though all of my Christmases have come at once. Yes, that's every novel.
Expect this review to be short and sweet because, any review that I write, will not do the storyline justice at all. Even when I say that I absolutely adored 'The Secrets of Villa Rosso', that isn't doing the book justice either. In all honesty, there aren't enough words in the English language that can describe how much I adored this novel.
Ellie Maddison had to go to Italy at very short notice (shame!) to do with work. Whilst she is over the moon to have a change of scenery and time away just for herself, her husband back home isn't happy that she is doing something for herself. Well, I thought that anyway! Arriving in Italy, Ellie felt an extremely strong connection to the country, the villa where she was staying and, weirdly enough, a strong sense of deja vu towards the estate's director. Why does Ellie feel as though she knows the man already?
'The Secrets of Villa Rosso' is such a majestic and thought provoking read. I don't know how the author manages to produce flawless storylines every single time, but she does. Although, I felt like we were seeing a different side to Linn.B.Halton's story telling as the storyline itself came across a lot deeper than the authors previous novels, and not in a bad way either!
The Secrets of Villa Rosso aren't my secrets to tell, they're Linn.B.Halton's, which is why you need to read this book for yourself and get lost in the Italian magic.
I loved this book from start to finish; every single is written beautifully which allowed me to be transported to Italy from the comfort of my own sofa. As for the main character, Ellie; she really is a diamond in the rough, yet she is one of my most favourite characters from all of the books I have read.
Enchanting, mesmerising and beautiful addictive; The Secrets of Villa Rosso really is a book to watch for 2017. If you haven't read a Linn.B.Halton novel yet - you must, you're missing out on some incredible literary craftsmanship.
Highly recommended, I loved it.
Thanks Harper Impulse.
