I have this on my TBR, it's going to be difficult not to read it next as I'm really into the food books at the moment. Here's a synopsis:

Twenty-two-year-old James Gould arrives in Occupied Naples in 1943, where his duties include dissuading Allied soldiers from marrying their beautiful Italian girlfriends, and his diet includes little more than spam fritters and warmed-up rations. The girls of Naples, however, soon arrange for a beautiful young country girl to join his staff as a cook. Under the twin influences of Italian food and Italian passion, James has only just realised that his heart is more important than his orders when an eruption of Vesuvius sets in motion a series of epic events that will change their lives for ever.

I read this one last month as well and though not as good as 'the food of love' it is an enjoyable read

Got to agree with rudie. I really loved The Food of Love but The Wedding Officer just didn't do it for me at all.

I'm reading this one now, so far so good... but I'm getting a bit confused as it jumps back and forward over different years.

Will let you know what I think when I've finished it!
