A sun-drenched summer romance from bestseller Mandy Baggot.
Love is in the air…

When singer Cara is invited to a big, fat Greek wedding in Corfu, she sees it as a mixed blessing: some time to heal on the beautiful Greek island with her aunt will be a tonic, but it’s going to stir up memories – of before Seb ghosted her and disappeared off the face of the earth.  

Akis Diakos, brother of the groom, should be looking forward to planning the bachelor party, but burdened by the weight of family expectation, his mind is elsewhere: he has a decision to make – one that could, apparently, ruin his little brother’s life forever. 

When Cara learns that her aunt Margot brought her here under false pretences, she’s faced with a dilemma. She’s not sung in public since that fateful day at Eurovision when her life fell apart, and she’s not planning to now. But with Akis’s encouragement, it’s time for both of them to face up to their fears. 

And who knows – maybe this beautiful duet will also lead to a beautiful romance? 

From the queen of Greek romance comes a story that will heal those heartstrings and make you believe in love again…

The queen of the Greek summer romance strikes again with another truly irresistible story, this time set on Corfu. 

Although there is a cameo from another Greek Island later in the book too, but I'll leave the specifics of that one for you to find out, 

I fell in love with Akis almost instantly, he's an exotic dancer with many other qualities to him, and is also dealing with a dilemma, which risks putting aside his own happiness, to try to prevent a family curse. 

Margot and Cara are on Corfu for Sofia's younger son's wedding Cosmos. Cosmos is also Akis brother Sofia is determined to throw the most extravagant big fat Greek wedding the island has ever seen, but things don't quite go according to plan. 

I loved the dynamics between Akis and Cara. Also enjoyed the vibe between Margot and Horror (as Margot is calling him). 

And seeing Cara regain her confidence to sing, is truly wonderful. 

This has a wedding it has snakes, it has a donkey called pig, a wily Greek granny, strippers, mentions of Eurovision and a whole lot more. 

It's absolutely wonderful. 

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