Marci and her brother Gut are happily running a family antiques shop when Marci is asked to go to Positano to clear her godfathers antique shop, he has suddenly got married and left. The task is much bigger than expected and is soon in need of local help from Nico, who is also part of the family that runs the local restaurant. As clearing continues Marci discovers that Richard left behind secrets from the past which may have a bearing on her future...................

I love that a book and cover like this than can transport me to sunnier climbs, especially when I am reading it on a wet and unpleasant day in the UK. A virtual trip to the Italian Riviera is very welcome.

Mari is asked to go to Positano on the Amalfi coast to help close up her godfather Richards antique shop. As expected this job is not for the faint hearted and will take more time and care than she imagined. She accepts the help of Nico Romano as they start to clear out Richards shop, various secrets come to light which could change the whole out look on her future.

The book is an enjoyable ready, filled with romance, beautiful sights and amazing food. An easy book to read and enjoyable. Personally I just couldn't really engage with the characters, the book just felt a little repetitive and then rushed in places.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was the first book by Lucy Coleman I have read. It was a lovely escapist story and took me to Positano.
I loved the characters and it was great to see how it all unfolded for Marci. It was a lovely, light read with some sunshine. A great holiday read.

I won’t lie, The day that you see me give a bad review for any Lucy Coleman book is the day something has gone terribly terribly wrong!

I had heard so much about finding love In Positano and was absolutely waiting to find the time to gobble up what I knew would be the most gorgeous book!

Here our lead has arrived in Positano to check up on a close family friend she feels has been acting out of character.

I was quickly swept up in Ms. Coleman’s trademark settings which made me feel like I was over in Italy, the food of course and the added bonus of some antiques.

The welcome, the warm atmosphere, the vibrance, the every day, was exactly what you would want from a trip to Italy. I love the lightness of the read which also posited the question of happiness, but in relation to a person’s ties with family and tradition. I have to add I appreciated a nice epilogue too! All in all very much recommend as always! Thanks to the publisher for this book in return for an honest review.

Such a lovely plot and characters who were all likable. I loved the setting and really felt immersed in it.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

I always love Lucy Coleman books and this one was definitely no exception, from the beautiful setting of Positano to the intrigue and family secrets it had me hooked from the first pages. Great storyline, characters and setting and of course not forgetting the hunky Italian make this a perfect summer read

I felt transported to a world of antiques, and gorgeous Italian scenery as Positano was brought to life exquisitely in this new Lucy Coleman novel.

I really enjoyed the feeling of being welcomed into a big Italian family, that has so many strands to it, it can be daunting at first to keep up.

But Marci is in Positano to do a job, even if her godfather is proving hard to get hold of, not to mention her own growing friendship with Nico.

I really enjoyed seeing how this story developed, in some surprising ways, while the descriptions of Italian food were plentiful and tantalisingly tasty.

This felt like a real love letter to the town of Positano, which I've personally only visited briefly but it all seemed to match up with my memories of the town.

A rather enjoyable book that I am delighted I had the chance to read.

Thank you to Embla Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Lovely plot and characters loved the setting and really felt immersed in it.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

Beautiful, charming sweet Lovely feel good book to read. It was a joy to read. Lovely characters. Great plot. The book was a treat. Very well written. I’d definitely recommend this book

A great holiday read which transports you to Italy. you can smell and taste the food and wine and feel the warth on your skin.

Marci and Nico make a great pairing and Olivia brings another dynamic. There are several stories twisted togther and interwoven and whilst we hope for the happy ending the " secret" could be one of several and so you keep reading to find out.

I loved the setting of the book and the characters. The premise of the story was a bit weak and I’m not sure it convinced me - but overall an easy read and a good holiday read.

A pleasant tale of a girl going to Positano to close down her godfather's antique business. She meets the family that he became part of and Nico, who is the romantic interest of the story. There are the usual family secrets, issues with past relationships, etc. It is written superficially, and disjointedly, and without any real feel for the characters or the plot. Could have been better

a good book to read slow to start with but you soon got into the story along with all the good food and pleasant surroundings and of course a happy ending for everone

This book definitely had me wishing for Italian evenings and all of the food my Zia makes. Oh how I miss it all so much. I think my favourite scenes were when Marci and Nico sat out on the terrace enjoying the warm evenings with mouth watering food. I would definitely take an espresso or tiramisu under the stars right now, wouldn't you?

I enjoyed the friendships in this book and how welcoming the Italians were. I know how true that is. It made me think about my trips to Italy as well as when guests came to my Nanna and Grandads house and how the moka pot would immediately be filled and the biscotti would come out of the cupboard. There is just a wonderful feeling of comfort and love when you are around them and I felt that in 'Finding Love in Positano.'

The business side of things was interesting to me as I don't know much about antiques, but could easily imagine all of the hidden gems Marci uncovered in her godfather's shop. I love the ideas of the stories and history behind items that people have long since left behind. I also liked that Marci worked with her brother and how they had each other's backs.

If you want to escape to one of the most beautiful places in the world, imagine yourself eating some extremely delicious food and meet some great people who make you feel like family, then pick up 'Finding Love In Positano,' today!

I really enjoyed this book, from the descriptions of the surroundings and food in Positano to the characters.

Marci is such a lovely character, she is brave and loyal amongst other things and she deserves happiness. She takes the daunting task of packing up Richards things in her stride, even though it is even more than she could have imagined.

Nico is a lovely character and so generous with his time, despite having so much to do himself.

The secret that is referred to in the Blurb is an interesting one, I had an incling what it could be quite a way into the book but I wasn't sure as it could have been a couple of things.

Very enjoyable read, I'll definitely be reading more by this author.

A nice easy reading novel. A lovely setting with some beautiful descriptive images that bring the story to life .Could almost taste the food and smell the sea with how the author tells the story. It's a lovely warmhearted romantic story which would make a great holiday read. I really enjoyed it

Lucy Coleman has been one of my ‘go-to’ authors for a few years now. In Finding Love in Positano we get to travel to a glorious part of the Italian Riviera with our main character Marci.

Marci runs an antiques business with her brother in the UK, but she finds it hard to have a life outside of work. When she travels to Positano to wind up an antiques business owned by her godfather Richard, it gives her the chance to reevaluate her life. What she does not expect is falling for her local guide Nico.

I loved the connection between Marci and Nico, and adored the way their story developed in spite of the secrets that had been kept for so long.

Family and family secrets are a focus of this story, but the star of the story was Positano and the delicious food local to the region. I’ve never been to Positano, and I’m not sure my knees could cope with it, but the beautiful descriptions were so vibrant that I wanted to hop on a plane and go for a holiday while I was reading. I love armchair travel, and Lucy really captures the imagery perfectly in her writing.

Finding Love in Positano is the perfect summer read, whether you are somewhere exotic on holiday, or sitting in your garden at home!

This was a lovely read that has me longing for a holiday to a much warmer climate, whilst I enjoyed this book i did find it hard to get into at times, and unfortunately given my current energy levels it made this hard to finish quicker.

this is one of those book you cant put down because the setting is just amzing. i went to the amlafi cast and re visited positiano after reading this book.
Characters, the plot of the story got better and better and it was amazing, i wish it had a second part. great read.

Finding Love in Positano by Lucy Coleman

I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley andEmbla Books and I am leaving this review voluntarily

Marci James is in love with her job. She's not had a holiday in five years, but now she's escaping to the Italian coast after agreeing to pack up her godfather, Richard's antiques shop.

When Marci arrives it's apparent that the task is far more daunting than she imagined, and it isn't long before Nico, her gorgeous local guide, offers to step up and lend a hand. As the two enjoy the Positano summer, and all that the Italian Riviera has to offer, Marci finally lets herself relax and the sparks between the pair soon begin to fly.

Set in a glorious location this was such an escape. A lovely, enjoyable book that was relatively quick to read. A highly recommended book that would make for an enjoyable read over the summer. If you enjoy food - especially Italian food, then you will love the fabulous descriptions that Lucy uses.

Rating 4/5
