I’m delighted to be part of today’s publication day push for ‘Never Too Late.’
A second chance to realise her dreams…
A classically trained pianist, Steph works as a recording engineer for a small studio when she’s offered the job of a lifetime – travel to the Italian Riviera to help world-famous band, Royalty, record their reunion album after a decades-long hiatus.
Steph could definitely do with the distraction. Her boyfriend – who also happens to be her boss – is increasingly unreliable and erratic, and she’s awaiting news from her doctor after a recent biopsy. So an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy is the perfect escape.
What she doesn’t expect is an instant connection with Rob, the son of Royalty’s lead singer. With her career – and her heart – at a crossroads, what path will Steph follow?

Author Bio –
I’m a man. And a pretty old man as well. I did languages at university a long time ago and then lived and worked in France and Switzerland before going to Italy for seven years as a teacher of English.
My Italian wife and I then came back to the UK with our little daughter (now long-since grown up) where I ran a big English language school for many years.
We now live in a sleepy little village in Devonshire. I’ve been writing almost all my life but it was only nine years ago that I finally managed to find a publisher who liked my work enough to offer me my first contract.
The fact that I am now writing escapist romance is something I still find hard to explain. My early books were thrillers and historical novels and I now also write cozy crime, but my first love is romance. Maybe it’s because there are so many horrible things happening in the world today that I feel I need to do my best to provide something to cheer my readers up. My books provide escapism to some gorgeous locations, even if travel to them is currently difficult.

Review-
I’m so thrilled to have been able to dip back into another T A Williams romance!
This time, we are transported to the Italian Riviera and in the author’s trademark style, are treated to descriptions of the wonderful scenery and local food dishes in such tantalising detail, that it is possible to imagine yourself there.
Similarly, there is another adorable chocolate Labrador, in the form of the delightful Waldorf, to fall in love with.
I loved the music theme around which this book was centred and the way in which it cleverly inextricably linked the main characters. Whether it was the former rock stars yearning to reform the band, Ethan and Steph with their recording expertise or Robert and Steph’s love of playing classical pieces, the music helped to thread all of them together in a variety of ways.
There are some hard-hitting themes dealt with, such as loss, grief and drug abuse, but these are sensitively handled and help to develop the reader’s understanding of several of the characters.
It is almost a book of two halves; the first focusing more on the band and the second the budding relationship between Steph and Robert. What is immensely likeable is how, despite their current or previous fame and fortune and extravagant lifestyle, there is a real sense of genuine warmth as Steph is welcomed into the fold by Keith and his family.
As a reader, you cannot help but root for Steph and hope that positive things happen for her. I did find her internal dilemma over her growing attraction to Robert a little repetitive at times, but I can see why the author has chosen to use this as a means of conveying her inner turmoil.
Another resounding triumph from T A Williams and definitely worth a read!
