Three Gold Coins
One coin for love,
One for marriage,
One to return to Rome.
Two days ago, Lara Foxleigh tossed three gold euros into the Trevi Fountain. Now, she is caring for a cranky old man and living in a picturesque villa, half a world away from her home and the concerns of her loving family.
Soon, it seems as if those wishes she made in Rome just might be coming true, and she may even be able to help heal a fifteen-year old tragedy.
Until Lara’s past threatens to destroy everything she loves
Three Gold Coins is a masterfully written celebration of food, family, triumph over adversity, and love a deliciously imperfect life.
MY REVIEW
I adore the front cover for delicious food waiting to be served and wine. With the design of the front cover and the blurb this what really made me want to read Three Gold Coins. And I must say I enjoyed all themes that author Josephine Moon has added within this story.
Lara Foxleigh in sunny Rome approached the Trevi Fountain. People at the fountain were tossing coins backwards into it. Lara threw three euro coins in and made three wishes. Will any of her wishes come true?
Lara was in total shock when she noticed that an elderly man tossed his gold ring into the fountain. I couldn’t believe it myself. It made me start to think why did this old man throw his gold ring in.
The old man who had a young woman with him who was his carer disappeared and left the old man all on his own. She did a wicked thing. I couldn’t believe what the carer did.
Kind hearted Lara who doesn’t really know this old man takes him home to her place. Then Lara becomes his carer at his place in Chianti south of Florence.
This story has a lot to offer with many different things happening.
