Eve Collins is looking forward to the holidays.

Her job as a counsellor has been as taxing as it has been rewarding, and she can’t wait for some downtime on the Greek island of Corfu with best-friend, Gabby. But between Eve’s brother, Ben, unexpectedly joining and Gabby’s job at the animal rescue centre keeping her busy, Eve might have to start mucking in…
When Gianni arrives in the village of Episkepsi, it’s like a model has stepped straight off the pages of Vogue Italia… with an uptight personality to match. He may be super-sexy but there are obvious chips on those broad shoulders.
As Eve and Gianni get to know each other and both start to lean into the Greek customs and avrio mentality, an initial attraction starts to turn into something more. But with so much family drama in both their lives, neither of them were looking for a holiday romance...

Escape with this sizzling summer romance, from the bestselling author of A Taste of Greek Summer

Ah the queen of the Greek summer romance is back, and this is another utterly fabulous book, from one of my auto must read authors. 

I absolutely adored this book, it has some many great storylines running through it, not just Eve and Gianni's who we see up close, but also Ben, Pan and Gabby.  Add in also a mix of animals at the rescue centre and some totally adorable moments and you have a cracking story. 

The Corfiot small village setting was just perfect, and I was especially amused by the trio that hang out at one of the local tavernas, including Aleka who is convinced she can predict things, and the gentleman who can only seemingly speak one phrase of English, and it's certainly one I've heard in various countries before, normally at market stalls. 

Gianni and Eve both have to come to terms with things in their families, as life as they know it gets shaken up considerably.  And Eve's brother Ben who has been brought to Corfu with Eve, so she can keep an eye on him, really seems to come into his own at the animal sanctuary. 

With excellent coffee, a real coffee connoisseur, delicious Greek food, and a story that spans three countries, this really is a feast for all the senses. 

Especially sight, given how fit Gianni is!  Both Gianni and Eve need to leave past hurts behind and try to trust in this fledgling connection between them. 

A complete joy to read, I had a ball reading this book. 

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