She’s counting down the days until she leaves Tuscany. He’s counting on making her stay.
Some people go to Tuscany to find themselves.
I went to escape—New York, my ex’s new relationship, and a career that derailed the moment I was passed over for partner.
My plan was simple: settle my eccentric Italian grandmother’s estate, sell whatever wasn’t nailed down, and return to the life I’d worked too hard to lose.
Instead, I walked into a mess—a crumbling antique shop, two hundred acres of leased vineyard land, and one infuriating clause in the will: Live and work in the shop for three months, or inherit nothing.
Then there’s the neighbor I clash with instantly. Matteo Lucchese is the infuriatingly handsome winemaker who leases my family’s land and refuses to be impressed by my credentials—or my attitude. He’s rugged and stubborn, stuck living in a time that has long passed us by, and the word rush isn’t part of his vocabulary. Basically, we’re exact opposites.
But as the days stretch into weeks, Tuscany chips away at the armor I didn’t realize I was wearing, and Matteo shows me the appeal of slowing down, of staying rooted, of wanting something other than climbing the corporate ladder.
I came to Tuscany to escape.
But now that the countdown to going home was on, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to leave. And the life I was falling for came with a looming expiration date.

What an incredible audiobook!
I laughed, I cried, and I couldn’t stop listening to this beautiful audiobook! Connor Crais and Andi Arndt were absolutely fantastic and brought every emotion to life.
Set in the stunning Tuscan countryside, the story follows Allegra as she travels to Italy to settle her grandmother’s estate. She doesn’t trust easily, and neither does her neighbor Matteo, a winery owner still carrying the scars of a past relationship. Their friendship slowly grows into something more, but both are afraid to take the next step.
The story weaves between the present and Matteo’s past, revealing why his heart is so guarded, while Allegra uncovers family who I secrets that change everything she thought she knew.
I loved watching this story unfold. It has romance, mystery, family secrets, and a wonderful cast of characters. From start to finish, I was completely invested and highly recommend both the book and the audiobook.
The Fall Affair is a wonderful, intriguing story. It is full of surprises, secrets and of course, romance.
Allegra Bianchi travels to Italy after her grandmother passes away. The will has some stipulations and Allegra has to navigate her new life as it where. Meeting Matteo though, who knew her grandmother, makes her life more interesting. Oh yes.
The sizzling chemistry that bubbles to the surface between them, is difficult to ignore, however Allegra is undoubtedly undecided about her future. I mean, who could blame her.
I really loved Matteo, he’s caring, charming but also guarded.
I feel like, throw in the Italian countryside, the slower pace of life, a hot Italian man
and certain things Allegra finds out, should be a no brainer, however she does have to make some decisions. Will she choose wisely, taking everything into consideration and throw caution to the wind or go back to her life in New York?
I have to say though, my heart belongs in Italy now….
I loved how the storyline unfolded and especially how it ended. Well done!
