A ( Not So)
Lonely Planet: Italy

Marina Taylor is a bold, adventure-seeking writer with a one-way ticket to Rome and big dreams to write a book on Italian Women of Influence…but an undeniable connection with an irresistible stranger—and her penchant for disaster—just may derail her plans.

Inspired by the queen of seduction herself, veteran sex icon Regina Lombardi, Marina tries to master the Sexual Gaze as she stumbles her way through Italian virgins, Turkish footballers and Sicilian twins. From the nightclubs of Rome to the beaches of the Amalfi Coast to a Venetian masquerade ball, follow Marina’s hilarious sex-capades and adventures.

Will she finally catch her illusive French-Italian photographer, or once again prove more calamity than coquette? And what about Will, the ruggedly down-to-earth ex she left pining for her back home? Equal parts laugh-out-loud travel comedy and sexy adventure, Marina’s first trip abroad will inspire you to throw your own itinerary out the window and throw caution to the wind. Art, love, sex, wine—the Italian playboy and the boy next door—who says you can’t have it all?
