Love In Tuscany by J.J. Mulder, Maya Jean, Hannah Henry

funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

5.0

Picture it.... A beautiful vineyard estate in Tuscany is the setting of a lovely wedding and the start of three love stories!

TLDR: Y'all, I squee'd and kicked my heels through all three of these stories. <3 All sweet, cozy, low angst delights.

Just a Fling by Maya Jean

Tate, the half-bro of the bride, building his life back up after a self esteem crushing divorce/break up meets Sully, the groom's best man, looking for connection and a sense of 'home'. Y'all, I dare you to meet Sully and not instantly fall in love with his liquid sunshine, gentle cuddly giant being?!

Snapshots by Hannah Henry
Nash, is one half of the wedding photography team, when his partner has a medical emergency so sends his bro, Rory in his place... only Nash and Rory had a one night stand years ago and have been mutually pining thinking the other has regrets. Will forced proximity and the love in the air get them to confess their feelings? I found their mutual pining/inner monologues to be pitch perfect. They both feel vulnerable and a little awkward about their 'ons' but they also really see each other! It was just sooo sweet.

It’s Italy, Not Love by J.J. Mulder

Roman, the bride's WFH work bestie, awkwardly (but bravely!) attends a wedding where he knows no one -- experiences an instant connection with Niilo, a handsome Finnish bartender on a gap year. Post wedding Roman invites Niilo to join him on his Italian road trip vacay, they see the sights, they eat the foods, the feel the feels! Very 'Roman Holiday' vibes but queer and stonkin' adorable!

Love in Tuscany is an anthology of three lightly interconnected stories with proceeds to charity!
