Home is where the heart is . . .
When Jaelee Tan leaves her high-flying PR job in Miami for a sabbatical in Bali, the last thing she expects is for it to become permanent. But when her boss demands the trip be cut short, Jae does the only thing she can think of and quits on the spot.
With two months in Bali, a new group of friends and the gorgeous scenery and beaches, Jae is determined to make the most of her new-found freedom. And when she locks eyes with hunky Scot, Alistair, Jae wonders if she’ll lose her heart to more than just a Balinese sunrise.
Escape to Bali in this uplifting novel full of friendship, laughter and romance, perfect for fans of Mandy Baggot, Julie Caplin and Holly Martin.
It's always good to be able to curl up with one of Sandy Barker's holiday romance series, and this was no exception.
And we get to escape to Bali in this journey of self discovery for Jaelee. Well she may not think that is why she has taken a two month sabbatical the other side of the world, but it's certainly one of the effects of the trip.
There were many things I really loved about this book -
- the links to That Night in Paris, I didn't realise or quite twig before I started reading but Jaelee was on the coach trip in that book, there were assorted references to it, especially her close friendship with Cat, so i was delighted to see how Cat was getting on now too.
- the setting - well I do love an exotic setting and Bali is so well described that I felt as though I was there in the heat alongside Jaelee
- the idea of digital nomads, and places like UROP existing, thus being able to stay there for two months making good use of the way tourist visas can work in Indonesia.
- the group of friends that Jaelee makes, including the hot scot with the man bun, Lulu, Kermit, Peta and Helena (and not all of those are human!)
It's just a really enjoyable story that then had some surprises in store for me, that made the last quarter rather addictive to read as I needed to know what would happen next!
Another great book from the always talented Sandy Barker.
Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
