Sunshine, soft white sand and a sizzling hot millionaire - you don't get trouble in paradise, right?
Imogen Charlton is sorted. Dead-beat husband? History. Dream job? Application sent. But then her impulsive brother, Harry, spends every last penny on a Greek restaurant in Corfu, and is determined to run it himself. It's up to Imogen to bring him to his senses.
When sexy millionare Panos Dimitriou offers to buy back his family taverna, Imogen wonders if all her prayers have been answered (and all her fantasies about to come true). But Harry won't budge, and his enthusiasm is infectious.
Bright pink bougainvillea tumbling over whitewashed walls, endless blue skies, the sparkling Mediterranean; it's hard not to fall for Corfu. And that's not all Imogen is falling for...
As the sparks fly between Imogen and Panos, is Imogen having second thoughts on selling the restaurant? And will she have to choose between love and a new dream?
This summer, spend long sunny days on the beach, and balmy nights in Greek tavernas on the gorgeous island of Corfu. Perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond, Miranda Dickinson and Lindsey Kelk.
-------------------------------------------
To put it lightly, I think main character Imogen got a bit of a shock when her brother Harry announced that he just bought a restaurant - in Greece! This novel is humorous, romantic and overall just another really lovely and enjoyable story by Mandy Baggot.
I will say that I found it a bit slow to start with, but once the restaurant started getting up and coming and Panos and Imogen started to get a bit closer the book flew by and I loved it. The ending was a little predictable but I still loved every minute of it! Sometimes the predictable ones are the best ones. As mentioned above, the story follows Imogen on her working holiday to Greece to help brother Harry open a run-down restaurant he's just bought.
Imogen thinks that Harry is slipping back into the dark place he's just managed to get away from but as the story goes on, she finds that Harry is the happiest he's ever been. And I think it's just such a lovely story about love, family, and friendship. It's beautifully written and as always I love a good Mandy Baggot book!
The relationship between Imogen and Panos is sizzling to say the least! And the novel will certainly make your mouth water (by the delicious sounding food that is!!), the descriptions of the Greek food just sounds delicious and I was desperate to eat everything that was written about! The sun shining every day, the flowers, the sand, everything just sounded so perfect and like a dream holiday. If you want to wish for sunshine and be jealous about the food in this novel, then this is the story for you!
Once again, Mandy Baggot didn't disappoint. I can't wait to read more from her! (although I think I'm closing to having read everything now!) A brilliant novel that I would recommend to get you in the mood for Summer.
