About this listen

 Lose yourself in the south of France this summer in this fabulously feel-good beach read!

Carrie Hayes has a job she enjoys and a perfectly nice boyfriend. She’s sorted. Isn’t she?

But Carrie’s life wasn’t always like this. As a young, wild drama student, she married fellow actor, Richard Maddox, after a whirlwind romance. Life back then was full of possibilities, but when Hollywood beckoned Richard, Carrie was left behind.

Now an A-list superstar, Richard’s life couldn’t be more different to Carrie’s, so when their paths cross in glamorous St Tropez, she can’t help but wonder what might have been.

But with lovely, sensible Alan in tow, Carrie knows she needs to do the right thing. The only problem is, Carrie and Richard never quite got round to getting a divorce…

Lose yourself this summer on the French Riviera, the perfect read for fans of Lucy Diamond and Jane Costello.

Critic reviews

Advance reviews for ‘From Italy With Love’:

‘I completely and utterly enjoyed this book.’ – Rachel’s Random Reads

‘A unique and vibrant read about learning to be the ‘driver’ of your own future.’ – Honeybear Books

‘I finished the book wondering if it was feasible to take my Mini Cooper S on a road trip through Europe! Jules brings the scenery and villages to life with wonderful descriptions…I really hope this book is the first in a series!’ – Annie’s Book Corner

‘Such a fun ride with as many twists and turns both in the story and on the road…Laughs all the way.’ – The Book Trail

Praise for Jules’s fabulous debut ‘Talk to Me’, published by Choc Lit:

'A heart-warming debut.' – The Bookseller

'Jules Wake's "Talk to me" is the next wave in chick lit – it is a brilliant novel that is funny, clever and romantic. Not since Sophie Kinsella and Helen Fielding, has there been such a coup d'etat for the genre. If you can only take one book with you on holiday this year- then this is that book.' – Elder Park Book Reviews

‘Jules Wake has gifted us with an incredible debut for this story has love, intrigue and danger’ – Love of a Good Book

I'd read the book before listening to this so was perhaps spoilt by that. Story is good, but the narration is very slow and unexciting, the teen-agers voice too screechy.

The hard copy book is better

This book was a light hearted, happy, gentle book filled with positive love. Although complete nonsense it was a very welcome escape from real life. It certainly made me want to holiday in the Cote D’Azure.

Lovely nonsense

Couldn't stand the irritating way she voiced the daughter. Wish I could have my credit back.
