When her mother’s incessant matchmaking hits an all-time high, Georgie Archibald does what any sensible woman would do: she flees the country.

Seeking refuge in the picturesque seaside village of Vernazza, Italy, Georgie’s only plan is to lie low, gorge herself on gelato, and let the wine and waves wash her troubles away...that is until she wakes up in a bed that belongs to the most romantic-looking man she’s ever seen.

Gianluca.

After going out of his way to rescue her, the former London financier turned mysterious recluse makes it clear that despite acting as her white knight, he has no plans to co-star in her fairytale.

But Georgie isn’t asking for his heart—she’s merely intrigued.

After all, Gianluca isn’t just gorgeous—tall and tan from days spent in the sun—his touch sets her world on fire. With him, Georgie experiences the most intoxicating passion she’s ever known, and it only takes a few steamy nights for her to realize that sometimes running away from trouble is the best way to find it.

Review: I absolutely loved A Place in The Sun by R.S. Grey. Rachel never fails to craft a beautifully breathtaking love story. From the very first chapter she had me laughing at Georgie's quirky, loveable personality. She was relatable and yet a very unique character. I loved her independent spirit. Gianluca made an incredible love interest with his sunkissed skin and brooding nature. That said, I'm  so glad the author chose to give him a back story that just tugs on the heartstrings. It made Gianluca more than just a handsome face and it added  a much needed depth to an already alluring character. 

I have to say how excited I was to read this story. Very. I've been craving a Travel Romance/International Romance and this book definitely hit the spot for me. Grey does an amazing job crafting a beautiful picturesque town by the sea with an equally beautiful cast of characters. If you're looking for a slow burn romance, you're definitely going to enjoy A Place in The Sun. If you're new to Grey's writing, take a chance on this story. It will have you laughing, crying, and falling in love with these two fun characters. You won't regret it.

Rating: 5/5

I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things... everyday.

I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm a comedy geek and love all things "funny". Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.
