Synopsis
Forgetting your troubles surrounded by golden sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and chiselled abs… what could possibly go wrong? For Orla, moving in with her dad at twenty-nine after a health scare wasn’t exactly her plan. Neither was finding out he’s been keeping a huge family secret… Ready to put the entire Mediterranean Sea between herself and her dysfunctional family, she packs her bags and checks in to a charming B&B on a sun-drenched Greek island. But the vines climbing the beautiful yellow front and the glittering blue sea aren’t the only gorgeous things in view. Her neighbour, sexy writer Georgios, is in search of inspiration, and Orla’s caught his eye… if only he would lighten up! It’s a big fat Greek clash of wills as Orla encourages Georgios to put down his pen and start having fun. Who wouldn’t love a cruise on a pirate ship, complete with rum and fake swords? Her heart melts as she catches a glimmer of a smile… but over Greek wine and freshly made mezze by candlelight, he gets far too serious, urging Orla to talk about her past. However, as soon as Orla shares her secrets, Georgios abruptly ends the evening… The next day, confused and angry, Orla heads to the harbour to leave the island. But something makes her hesitate. Should she get on the boat and keep running from her problems, or break free from her past and let her glorious Greek summer last forever? A completely feel-good read about living life to the full! Perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Jenny Colgan and Sophie Kinsella.
My Review
This was a wonderful book set in different locations around Kos Greece. I loved the fact that the leading female (I never remember names lol) travelled to try and experience different locations it added that extra fun element to the Story. I loved the amount of Greek culture that was in this book it made me feel like I was back there myself. Plus it's great Learning about different cultures. I really appreciated that the author had the lady seeking out more traditional food and experiencing they joys of the family life there it was wonderful to read. It was a very nice story line with a slow burning romance. There was a great array of characters that were loveable and well developed. I could feel the emotions of the story come through. If you are looking for a relaxing read full of Greek culture then this book is for you. It's also brilliant for those who love to travel the world through fiction books as you can tell the author has a vast knowledge. I bet she is living their now.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating this magical story that transported me into Greece. I can't wait to read more from this author.
