It's been years since Anna has seen Leo Knight. And of all the apartments in all the cities in all the world, he just happens to walk in to her cosy new attic home – as her new housemate.

As the two walk the cobbled streets of Prague, taking in the sights and sounds from Wenceslas Square, frosted with snow, to the soft glow of candlelit Charles Bridge, the enchantment of the City of a Hundred Spires soon starts to work its magic on them…

A total love letter to both Prague and Beer! 

The amount of research Julie Caplin must have done to get us totally immersed in the world of beer brewing, in addition to feeling as though you are actually in Prague is immense. 

The setting really felt as though it was an extra character and you learn more about Prague and Czechia than you could ever wish to know. and some of the descriptions match with what I recall of the city on my brief visits there.  

And for a city that it ridiculously cold in Winter, this was a real winter warmer of a read.  It was cosy, it had great dynamics between Anna and Leo, there were new friendships, some friendly competition and a whole lot more. 

It has everything you have come to expect form a Julie Caplin romantic escape, but possibly even more enhanced than normal.  I didn't realise the city was so big with Beer, all I remember is my colleagues being excited at the incredibly cheap prices per pint when we were there! 

But the city sounds enchanting, and yes I'm harping on about the location and not the story (which was also wonderful), but this is a book that will do wonders I reckon for Prague tourism, and it certainly filled a hole in my armchair travel, given we don't often get romances set here. 

And Anna and Leo are really lovely.  Anna's family on the other hand drove me mad as did Steve. I loved Leo's friendly flirty nature, and his ease of making friends everywhere.  

This was a really cosy story that I thoroughly loved. 

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