Overview
"Funny, Sexy, Heartbreaking, Hilarious"
When family man Mike Torino lands a project in Italy, home of naked art, Valentino, and taxi-crashing yoga pants, he brings along his wife, hoping to rekindle their marriage. But romance gets derailed by head colds, constant bickering, and assaults from ankle-breaking cobblestone streets. Their daughter develops a gelato addiction. Mike's Italian partner has a coronary. And as for amore . . . Mattie tells Mike to handle things himself-and storms back to America.Mike is trapped. Leaving Italy will blow a promotion; staying might cost him his wife and family.While reeling from Mattie's frantic departure, a replacement liaison is assigned-a top-notch, beautiful young Italian woman who is instantly smitten with Mike and determined to reveal the passions of her homeland-whether he wants to see them or not! Normally immune, Mike is tempted-but is headstrong, voluptuous Julietta worth the risk?"Funny, Sexy, Heartbreaking, Hilarious"In Poggibonsi, Dan Alatorre tells a compelling and hilarious story while giving its serious and heartfelt themes fair treatment. Protagonist Mike Torino is a hard-working family man who is struggling in his marriage, and when temptation looms on a business trip in Italy, he can't help but indulge. His winding and sometimes bumbling misadventure leads him on a journey that ends only when he discovers what is truly important to him. Funny, sexy, and at times heartbreaking, Poggibonsi is much more than a riotous romp. It's an exploration into what makes us human and drives us through life.- Allison Maruska, The Fourth Descendant and Project Renovatio trilogy"Outrageously funny"
Poggibonsi is disarmingly charming; a laugh-out-loud, bumbling romp through lust and love in central Italy. Alatorre captures the breathtaking romance of the novel's namesake perfectly, peeling back each layer of story until all that remains is genuine, raw emotion. An outrageously funny, guilty pleasure of a read.- J. A. Allen, Old Souls| ISBN-13 | 9781545553817 |
