Title: Take a Chance on Greece
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.
Wonderful armchair travel and escapism at its finest. I was completely and utterly transported to Kos, and feel I now have a good idea of what there is to do on the island.
I'd definitely be up for a trip on the pirate boat at any rate, as well as flirting with some gorgeous guys, not so sure about yoga on the beach at stupid o clock in the morning though.
But basically I would have loved to have been Orla for the majority of the book, I mean not the initial bit with the health scare, nor the secret that needs to be uncovered, but the exploration of Kos side of Orla, I'd have happily swapped places with.
Another stunning Greek set story from Sue Roberts.
Thank you to Bookouture and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
