When Laurel Martin is hired to rewrite the script for a new timeslip blockbuster, she expects the historical advisor hired by the studio to be an elderly academic who won't interfere too much with her writing. But when she meets Professor Jason Harding, a young and unexpectedly handsome archaeologist who has some ideas of his own about the script, she realises the job isn't going to be as simple as she first thought.

As their work takes them from arguing over historical details in a cramped London office to discovering the hidden beauties of a Greek island, Laurel and Jason's relationship starts to echo the romance of their script.

But with Laurel's actor ex-boyfriend making trouble at home, and constant issues with the volatile director, will Laurel and Jason ever be able to write the happy ending for their own story?

Escape with this charming, summery romance, perfect for fans of Sue Moorcroft and Miranda Dickinson.

I was completely enchanted by this book. 

Laurel sees pretty much everything as a film and an ability to re-write the scripts of her own life, so it's rather a good thing she is a scriptwriter. 

Jason is an archaeologist who may no history but has no idea about films who has been hired as a co scriptwriter on a new feature film, to make sure the historical aspects are accurate. 

Their initial attempts at working together don't particularly go that smoothly but slowly they seem to appreciate what each other can bring to the table and when they are asked to spend a few weeks on location in Greece, well sparks start to fly. 

It was interesting seeing Athens through Jason's eyes as he acted as a tour guide to Laurel, and I recognised some of where was being described from a day I've had in Athens myself. 

And I loved the Greek Island setting, and the whole of the story, and not just Laurel and Jason but also her flatmate Amber, and the romance in Amber's life I was engrossed in too. 

This was a thoroughly enjoyable romance set to the backdrop of an unknown Greek Island the world of films.  It's really captured my imagine and was a sheer pleasure to read. 

Thank you to Accent and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily,
