Smitten with Ravioli
Smitten with Ravioli: A Sweet Romantic Comedy Set in Italy | Ellen Jacobson
1 post | 1 read
Love is on the menu in this sweet romantic comedy set in Italy. Ginny's Italian cooking course was supposed to be a peaceful escape from her troubles. But when she meets Preston, an infuriating know-it-all history professor, she quickly realizes her past has come back to haunt her. The last thing Ginny needs is for Preston to find out who she really is. Her plan seems foolproof—assume a fake identity and keep her distance from the pretentious jerk. But when they’re forced to work together, Ginny starts to see a different side of Preston. She’s torn between her desire to reveal who she really is and her fear that she’ll lose everything in the process. Will Ginny be able to trust Preston with her heart, or will love turn out to be the ultimate recipe for disaster? If you like quirky characters, happily ever afters, and the occasional drooling cat, you’ll love Ginny and Preston’s story. Want more hilarious travel adventures and romance?

Mehso-so

The premise is cute! Grad student trying to sort out her life and interests after a romantic and academic setback decides to head to a cooking class in Ravenna as a break. She meets handsome nerdy history professor.
The writing was cute, but story So-so for me as it's a bit too lightweight for an emotional payoff and because Ginny seems like a bundle of quirks instead a real person so her constant lying was irritating rather than understandable.
