Love in Venice with Testimonial

Do you believe opposites attract?

When two hopelessly mismatched people share a love for art, a passion for love and a city like Venice, nothing is truly impossible…or is it?

One summer could change everything!

Dear friends, I wanted to share a chapter from my new romance, Love in Venice, with you. I’ve just finished narrating the audio version of this beautiful story and am waiting for it to go live on Kobo, Apple, Amazon and other retailers. Plus, libraries too.

Sometimes you just need to listen to a beautiful story with an endearing heroine and a plot that’s a nice break from reality. My new feel-good full-length novel offers precisely that. The storyline follows two strangers, Maggie and Mauro, who meet in Venice when fate throws them together. Misfortune transforms into life-saving and life-changing love-infused magic.

a warmly romantic story

“Love In Venice is a warmly romantic story. I loved that their hearts seemed to speak to each other almost from their first meeting. I love that we get to see how their lives unfold and their beautiful love for each other. The story has a wonderful flow and beautiful and vivid descriptions. I could envision myself in Venice – seeing the canal, the cobblestoned streets, the architecture and more.  Ms Mathews is an author whose books I enjoy. She always transports me to someplace new with a cast of characters I grow to love.  Give her books a try if you haven’t already!”
