What is a guy to do when a perky redhead with a nice butt drops into the seat next to him for a very long flight?  He has already figured out she's a scatterbrain from what  he sees at the boarding gate in the terminal.  Well, to start, keep his earbuds in so he doesn't have to acknowledge her.  This "guy" is Tomas Richards , heading to Lipari Island,  Italy for some family business. . After they are in flight, the redhead introduces herself..." I'm Brianna, I hate flying and I talk way to much when I'm nervous so I'll apologize in advance."Tomas is a straight laced business man, loves writing lists,  has given up his home in Australia  to enjoy the wonders of Italy, and help his widowed aunt with her marina business.Brianna Ballantyne is a Clinical Pschychiatrist specializing in sex and couples therapy, taking a vacation to write, and hopefully find her birth mother.  Her home is in Scotland. She is also on the way to Lipari Island to find out about a strange bequest from her Mom, who had recently passed away without Brianna ever meeting her. She has taken a dim view of her seat mate, calling him in her head "A pompous prick ."  After traveling for twenty four hours together they actually form a friendship. Neither knows what they'll face in LipariWhat follows is a hilarious, touching, and actually kind of teary eyed adventure.  I could almost hear Brianna's delightful accent, and picture Tomas's  attempt to maintain his stuffy ways. This is a delightful read!I would recommend this novel for the great characters, and the descriptions of the beauty that is Italy.I received this novel from the author for an honest review.
