Esther's life isn’t perfect (whose is?) – but she’s happy enough living in her little flat with her boyfriend, Josh.

But that’s about to change.

Bored out of her mind in work, she wishes that something, anything, would happen to liven her life up.
Unfortunately, her wish comes true when Josh calls her from the airport to tell her he’s going to work in a bar in Spain, and she’s not invited, Esther is devastated, and her unhappiness is compounded when she discovers she can actually view the bar via a webcam link and watch him chatting up other girls.

But when she inadvertently clicks on a link to another webcam which shows a pretty cottage and the rather hunky man who lives in it, her interest is piqued and she wishes she could get to know him.

Wishes don’t really come true, though – do they...?

Incredibly lovely story, that really does highlight how easy it could be to become hooked on watching strangers via webcam! 

Ok it's not exactly as creepy as it sounds, well apart from the webcam that Esther finds that is focusing on a home, and being streamed online, she is guessing without the owner knowing.   And its this handsome stranger on webcam that is far healthier for her to obsess over, than the other one she is watching of her ex-boyfriend who called from the airport to let her know he was moving to Malaga, to work in a bar!   

For of course the bar has a webcam, so she is able torture herself watching Josh with other women. 

The set up to the romance in this book was fabulous,  as everything was being put into place, as a reader I was waiting and imaging that first meeting.  There is a great set of coincidences involved and it really is amusing and just slightly different. 

Before that there are a few attempts at internet dating for Esther, and let's just say I'd definitely not want to go near the second man she meets through the site. But it did make for an amusing chapter!! 

I found this to be fabulously quick and easy book to read, it pretty much took me two tube journeys and dinner in a restaurant to read, give or take 10 mins to finish it once I got home.  I was very into the story and just enjoying the writing.  

Another really entertaining story from Liz Davies. 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
