Falling in Florence

Joy lives on the beautiful island of Corfu with her four dogs and a ridiculous number of cats. Her many years working in the tourism industry and her love of love stories inspired her debut romance novel, Corfu Capers, and she has been writing ever since. She loves to cook, dance and drink wine, usually at the same time, and is currently working on the eighth novel in the Sublime Retreats Romance series – Moonlight Over Morocco - due to be released later this year. You can follow Joy on Instagram and X, and sign up to her newsletter via her website to be the first to hear all the Sublime Retreats gossip, and read her Hidden Gems travel guides.

The enemy to friend trope of two opposites falling in love is well done and there's an added mystery for good measure. Looking forward to the next one.' All Things Bookie'This book is brilliantly written and although you know that sparks will fly between them it is great how it all plays out in the book. A really great read and one I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a bit of Florence love!' @snowphiethebookworm'With a flowing backdrop to the burgeoning romance consisting of pastoral wine tours, fairy-lighted rooftop terraces, and more delicious food and wine than is fair to wave in front of this hungry reader!' Bookly Matters'There's a wonderful cast of characters, from Sofia's brothers and parents to her best friend, Suzie, I will certainly look forward to more books from Joy Skye, they are good fun and filled with romance and great characters.' Book Escapes with Babs'This series is absolutely addicting! The author has a great way of bringing not only the setting, but her characters to life. The chemistry between Sofia and Adam was written so well, and it was easy to get lost in their relationship.' My Fictional Oasis'Falling in Florence is a detailed well thought out story that hooks the reader in from the first page...The chemistry between Sofia and Adam is sizzling!' Quirky Book Reads'I like the humour in Joy Skye's books and this one did not fail to amuse...romance, travel to sunny climes and elements of mystery. What's not to love!' Eatwell2015'Written well and with the beautiful backdrop of Florence described in the story, you will soon be hooked.
