They say home is really where the heart is…

Lori Anderson should be bursting with happiness. Since leaving behind her life as a housewife to embark on an incredible backpacking adventure she’s met a man she’s fallen head over heels in love with and is living aboard a yacht in the turquoise waters of the sun-drenched Caribbean.

She should be instagramming photos of her swimming with dolphins and sipping cocktails at sunset….and yet Lori finds herself desperately missing her grown-up family, and her normal London life. But when she’s unexpectedly called home, reality hits hard. The urban bustle she used to find exciting is now just exhausting – and why doesn’t it ever stop raining?

If there’s one thing Lori has learnt it’s that you have to fight for what might make you truly happy – so Lori is determined not to let her chance of a little slice of paradise slip through her fingers….

Wow, well I knew I had loved the first Backpacking Housewife book, but I think I may adore this second one even more!

Read in an afternoon poolside, I was whizzing through the pages of this action packed story with a plot and sort of adventure most would never encounter in a lifetime. 

It is an exhilarating read of travel, both to exotic places but also for me much closer to home, but also a story of family, and trying to work out what your heart really desires. 

I'm absolutely loving this next step in Ethan and Lori's lives, and even just hearing what they get up to in the bit between the two books is exhausting but eye opening. 

There is also a keen theme of animal conservation running through this book, and I love how they are always trying to save the planet.  

With every book I'm reading of Janice Horton's,  she is excelling herself and getting better and better. 

I have loved discovering the British Virgin Islands in this book, especially the more remote ones, and all the travel aspects are so well described, it was like I was there beside them. 

Although only present for a small bit, Monty was completely fabulous, and I loved getting to know him.

Wonderful book from a fabulous author, what more could a girl want from her holiday reading!

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