Spilling the not-so secret news, the four friends are heading to Italy to ring in the holidays. Reunited at their high school reunion, they get together annually, after Christmas. Sharing travel adventures, high jinx ensues along the way. This time, Frankie's boyfriend invites them for a house swap in his Italian hometown and the friends take part in side trips before reaching Sorrento.

Are they going to be on Santa's good or naughty list? Thank you to #NetGalley and the publisher for the early edition of #SantaSecret in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed armchair traveling to Italy but the friends' jargon was at times, off-putting. I lived in NYC and wouldn't dream of using that type of language. Putting that behavior aside, it's a fluffy story to celebrate the holiday season. Practice your Italian before sampling the Mediterranean cities.

Santa's Secret by F. Michaels, published by Kensington Books tells the story of 4 women and their families.
The women meet at class reunion, reminisce in their years at school and become friendly again.
They agree to travel to Italy for the holidays - and so it begins.
An entertaining slow burn, a pleasure to read the well written story.

Awww…the title is sweet…mystery and intrigue…likable characters keep the story moving quickly. A page turner from a popular author. Curl up in a comfy chair and read about Santa…thanks Netgalley.

Santa's Secret by Fern Michaels
Story starts out when 4 women meet and have many memories to share with one another. They vow to get together for the Christmas holidays and travel to Italy for the holidays.
Everything is taken care of: transportation, flight and living accommodations. They also decide they want to further explore Italy and surrounding countries.
Like all new words I've learned. Lots of travel, romance, food, fashion and history and architecture.
Each of the couples have their own plans and they will all meet for New years eve. So fun to tag along with them to explore.
Love that the parades are something another author wrote about in his own books of the area. Love gift the girls gift to the two elderly women, priceless. Some hair raising times and some trouble they find. Love how they make the best of out all circumstances they find themselves in. Recipes included. Fun to understand what the title means to the people in the book.
Received this review copy from Kensington Publishing Kensington via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
