This summer, on the Greek island of Corfu, sparks will fly as dreams come true...

Lydia Broom is living her second-best life. With her dreams of being a chef left in the dust she instead finds solace writing about the dishes she wished she created. When Lydia's sent to Corfu on an assignment, she's excited to see what culinary delights the island has to offer, but nothing seems to tickle her fancy - until she tastes the creations of local cook, Thanos Nicolaidis.

After one sizzling afternoon in the kitchen together, Lydia and Thanos both allow themselves to dream of the futures they desperately want. And as they grow closer, sharing secret ingredients and family recipes, Thanos begins to realise he has to show Lydia the parts of him he's done so well to hide...

Get ready for the hottest Greek meze on the menu as Lydia and Thanos discover that amid the sirtaki dancing and the smashing plates, they might just be cooking up their very own love story.

Warning: This book contains loads of delicious sounding food and will make you hungry!

Ensure you have snacks nearby while reading this utterly gorgeous escapist romance. 

Lydia's descriptions of food and of Thanos' cooking in particular is mouth watering. 

And the descriptions and locations being used in Corfu were absolutely stunning and I loved through Lydia and Caroline's eyes, being taken on a tour of Corfu. 

I loved both of Lydia and Thanos' back stories, and getting to know them both was a pleasure. 

This is pure escapism at its finest from the queen of the Greek romance. Utterly brilliant as I have come to expect from Mandy Baggot. 

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