Two weeks. One unforgettable trip to Corfu. A chance to change her life.
Becky Rose has just landed her dream job house-sitting at a top-end villa on the island of Corfu. What could be better than two weeks laying by an infinity pool overlooking the gorgeous Ionian waters while mending her broken heart.
Elias Mardas is travelling back to Corfu on business whilst dealing with his own personal demons. Late arriving in Athens, Becky and Elias have to spend a night in the Greek capital. When they have to emergency land in Kefalonia, Becky's got to decide whether to suck up the adventure and this gorgeous companion she seems to have been thrown together with or panic about when she's going to arrive at Corfu...
Finally reaching the beautiful island, Becky is happy to put Elias behind her and get on with her adventure. Until he turns up at the villa...

Greek sexy man.... check!
Delicious sounding Greek food.... check!
A longing to jump on a plane while reading.... check!
Wonderful heroine, prickly sister and new friend who is hilarious.... check!
I mean what more do you want from a Mandy Baggot book? Especially as this was her 20th story, and shes is an absolute master of her craft.
It is amazing how much was packed into the book even before they land in Corfu. We have unexpected extra sightseeing and some of the Athens descriptions matched my memories of the place and I could see everything so clearly.
Then there is what is awaiting them in the villa which made me laugh. Easily the most unexpected contents of a bath tub ever!!
Petra, Becky's new friend, let's call her is a breath of fresh air. I loved all of her travelling anecdotes and her lack of pretension when it comes to men.
Then there is Becky and Megan's sandwich business, and fractured sibling relationship to discover.
Oh and Elias and Eleni are fabulous, I loved their interactions, and also just everything about Elias.
I just loved every single second of this book.
What I love about stories like this is the way you can travel just from the safety of your armchair. If you are looking to loose yourself in a story that will let you escape the world at this troubling time, then this, and well any of this authors Greek set books are just what the doctor ordered.
Thank you to Aria and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
