Summary:
1478: Gianetta and Matteo have a happy life, working in service to the wealthy Rosini family. They are used to entertaining rich and powerful members of Florentine society in Palazzo Rosini, where Lorenzo and Giuliano de Medici, and Botticelli are regular visitors. Even when the Medici brothers narrowly escape the Palazzo with their lives (an accident, surely?), Gianetta and Matteo can’t imagine that the growing unrest in the streets of Florence would ever spoil their happiness.
When a bloody conspiracy erupts in the heart of Florence, in the city’s beloved Duomo, nobody is left unaffected by the aftermath. When the family hears that Matteo is among the conspirators, Gianetta knows that her life will never be the same
Review:
First off I need to say thank you to Random Book Tours, Romaunce Books and Angela M Sims for having me on this blog tour and for gifting me a copy of this beautiful book to review.
Now as you may have noticed on this blog I am a magpie for pretty book covers and this one is no exception, I love the collection of roses framing the image of the Duomo. It beautifully fits the book.
It's a very well-written and brilliantly researched first book by Angela Sims. Her descriptions are wonderful and you really can imagine that you are there in Florence combined with her well-crafted characters that easily slip in between the historical figures really bring the era and story to life.
The love story that is woven into the dramatic situations that occurred is so sweet and lovely, you really enjoy following Gianetta and Matteo's developing love.
One of my favourite parts of the book is the recipes for a good meal that sit between each section, they make a nice marker and they do sound so lovely. I've added a few of the recipes to my to-try list, Italian food always sounds so indulgent!
If you love a good historical romance, add this one to your list.
