Escape to the beautiful Greek island of Santorini for the wedding of the year…

Anna has the perfect life on the island of Santorini with her gorgeous vineyard-owning boyfriend Nikos, and she travels the world for work. So why does she feel that something is missing?

When Anna’s best friend Elena gets engaged, she should be celebrating with her, but instead it seems to cause cracks in her own relationship that she never saw coming.

Nikos is thrilled that Anna's career is going from strength to strength, but being without her so much has left him feeling disconnected in ways that could have devastating consequences for their future.

As celebrations get underway for the wedding of the summer, secrets will be revealed, and ultimatums will be given. In the end, Anna and Nikos must decide whether their love story can have the happy ever after they both desperately want…

How lovely to be back on Santorini with Anna and Nikos.  Set 4 years after the first book and although they are clearly still in love, it is certainly not smooth sailing. 

At points during the book I honestly wasn't sure what the outcome would be, despite knowing the likely possible ending purely due to the genre. But wow the journey they took me on, so many highs and lows. 

I really felt for Anna at times, she's ambitious and as much as I like Nikos, I was starting to resent him myself! While at the same time they are attempting not to let their cracks, be too obvious, when Elena gets engaged and the wedding is 3 weeks later. 

There is a lot of wedding prep for them both and so many secrets, and revelations to be uncovered, this is a story that kept me on my toes throughout.  And the last 12% which I had reluctantly stopped before, as it was getting late the night before, that I devoured in no time, just utterly perfect.  Totally worth everything the author put the characters through. 

A really great sequel that I thoroughly enjoyed.  Well worth the wait for it too! 

Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
