How do you write a romance novel with a broken heart?
Ivy is suffering from writer’s block after a disastrous affair with her (now ex) publisher. Her agent suggests an extended holiday to get her writing career back on track – 6 months in a stunning villa on the gorgeous island of Tenerife.

No WiFi, no TV, no distractions.

Except for the very attractive, very lovely Sebastián who comes by every day to clean the pool. Soon Ivy’s on a roll with her new novel and her relationship with Sebastián is growing into something more, despite the secrets he’s keeping.

But her ex isn’t done with her – professionally or personally. And with Sebastián keeping secrets, maybe a return to London is best…

A heartwarming, romantic escape perfect for fans of Sue Moorcroft, Mandy Baggot and Portia MacIntosh.

What a highly enjoyable and sunny romantic escapism book that had me transported to Tenerife, complete with absolutely stunning guy, and an author who needs a retreat to see if she can be inspired past her writers block. 

There is fabulous chemistry in this book and although I was fairly sure I had guessed what Sebastian was hiding, well the reveal still supplied some shocks and a fantastic conclusion. 

There is a lot to love in this book, especially the villa, the surrounding area that Ivy is staying in, which is a rather remote part of Tenerife but that I could picture really clearly. 

It's just a really enjoyable escapist read that I would have loved to have read poolside on holiday but it works on cold winters day as you can feel the heat coming from it. 

Light hearted and entertaining, just what I wanted from this book. I loved it. 

Thank you to Canelo and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
