Can a Greek escape be the start of something special?

Xanthe Fox has it all: a famous, drop-dead gorgeous boyfriend, a dream career and bright future – until heartbreak sends her life into a tailspin.

So when Xanthe’s Greek godmother unexpectedly leaves her a villa on the sumptuous island of Kefalonia, Xanthe jumps at the chance to put her life in London on hold and escape to the island hideaway to rethink her future.

The break allows Xanthe the time to explore her passions, sift through her feelings and discover more about her estranged Greek family while renovating her godmother’s enchanting Villa Aster.

But not everyone is happy to see her. Unfazed by her hostile neighbours and after making a mortifying mistake with a sexy builder, Xanthe is equally charmed by Kefalonia and a handsome, brooding gardener.

Chasing dreams, taking chances and saying ‘yes’ has the potential to turn Xanthe’s life upside down, but will a summer escape allow her to sparkle once more?

There are plenty of laughs to be had, in this new escapist romance from Kate Frost. 

Xanthe and best friend Jude are both in the West End in musicals, which instantly git my attention in this story, 

Xanthe though is to spend six weeks in Kefalonia sorting out what to do with the villa she has been left, while also curious as to why her family haven't been back to the island since she was 12 years old. 

There are sexy Greek men, an irate mother next door, new friends a whole lot of fun as this story unfolds. 

I absolutely loved Jude, who was hilarious pretty much in any scene he was featured in.

And Xanthe has some tough decisions to make over the course of this story. 

I was totally gripped to see how things would turn out, and felt completely transported to the island of Kefalonia, which is somewhere I would love to visit myself. 

Another gem of a book from this author. 

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