Synopsis:
Sun, sea and a sexy stranger - a whole lot of fun just got a lot more complicated.
Capable, confident and career-driven, Ellen had her dream job and a marriage proposal from boyfriend Ross. Life was good, her future set. Until it wasn't and everything fell apart...
Whisked off to the beautiful island of Corfu to plan her sister Lacey's big, fat, Greek wedding, Ellen is hoping some time out will help clear her head and heal her heart. But letting go of her past is not going to be easy.
With Lacey in full on Bridezilla mode, Ellen is soon distracted from her own problems. And when the all-inclusive treats on offer at Hotel Blue Vue include one gorgeous, brooding Adonis - Yan - Ellen finds him difficult to resist.
But Ellen isn't looking for love or lust, or anything involving too much ouzo...or is she?

Get ready to be whisked off to the beautiful island of Corfu in this sizzling romance novel by the amazing Mandy Baggot.
Main character Ellen is at her wits end, so what better way to forget everything than to go on holiday with her sister to help 'plan' her wedding? Along the way secrets are revealed and to be honest, there are twists and turns the whole way through which makes it just so exciting!
Before this novel, I'd only ever read one other book by Mandy and I'm so surprised by this! I simply love her uplifting and enjoyable way of writing - it'll make you feel happy from just reading them. I did really enjoy this story, it felt a bit more serious than the other Mandy Baggot book I read but I still found it enjoyable all the same.
I found that, with main characters Ellen and Yan, they both have a dark past - making them hold back in doing things that they long to do. Whilst both characters are on the run, they both come to terms with why that is and both try their hardest to become a better person. To say there is a lot of drama in this book is an understatement!
As well as the drama, this story will have you longing for a slice of Greek paradise. Your mouth will be watering reading the descriptions of the crunchy salads and the thick, creamy yogurt that Ellen eats whilst she's at her all inclusive holiday.
Of course, with Mandy Baggot novels, there are always bits that make you laugh out loud - and this book makes you do just that. It's uplifting in places and other parts make you understand the characters more. With each chapter, we have ones focusing on Ellen and others focusing on Yan - giving you a clear insight into what each one is feeling and thinking.
Overall, a really enjoyable read. Nearer to the end of the book I found that I just couldn't put it down - too much was happening! It was a great ending and one I really loved.
