I loved the front cover of this book and the story was just as good was brilliant and perfect for curling up and thinking of summer in Corfu. Full of romance and funny but serious as well and made you laugh out loud very sexy and shows how quickly life can change. A fun read and shows how families can be together when you need it.
Abby cannot believe how life can change in 24 hours she is full of writing lists and living her life with her boyfriend but she looses her job and then losses her boyfriend as she catches him with someone else. She decides to go for the summer to get mum and sisters in corfu and decide what to do with life. Once she is there she doesn't realise that their business is struggling as an estate agent and she wants to turn that around and get them making money again. She finds the perfect villa to put on their books but finds a lovely man called Theo there. He has many secrets to and can they help each other through hard and difficult times and can there be romance or not. Does she decide to stay on Corfu after a summer or does she decide she can't leave.
A really perfect summer read.

This was an amazing book, so entertaining and addictively good right from the very first page. I loved everything about this delightful story, which was so well written and the characters just came alive right before my very own eyes, well that's how it felt whilst reading this book. I really did feel like I was there, in Corfu for real and I really didn't want to leave.

One of my favourite parts in the story (of which there was many) was the Desperately Seeking party, it sounded like so much fun, and the Greek food/cocktails sounded truly yummy and devine.  Not to mention the Theo & Leon dancing scene, that was slizzling and hot to say the least, I would love to have seen that for real.

There was so much to love about this book, from the beatiful setting in Corfu, to the Greek food, the romance and lastly the characters, especially Abby and Melody, they had such a great bond as sisters. There was even some action of the life threatening kind which I wasn't expecting, it certainly added that extra something to the story.

So last words, Mandy has done it again, another amazing delightful and heartfelt story that I just fell in love with and completely got lost in. She has such a way with words that her style of writing is truly magical which draws you in from the very first page.  I always look forward to Mandy's books as I know when I read one, I'm always in for a treat.

This is one of those books that gave me a reading high, then a real book hangover when I’d finished it. I was craving for more!
Mandy Baggot is the queen of the summer escape.
I absolutely fell in love with this fab book, the characters, and with Corfu itself. It was lovely to escape in my head to Corfu for some sun, and what a fabulous time I had.
I lost myself in the gorgeous Corfu sunshine, and some gorgeous company too….
I liked Abby instantly, with her lists. Her sister Melody was an outrageous flirt, and her widowed mum, Jackie, seemed like she’d lost her sparkle.
Spyridoula was a typical strong Greek lady, a great character who I enjoyed getting to know.
Onto the men-folk. Leon the taxi driver, best friend of Theo, a swoon-worthy Greek god. I liked Stamatis and could imagine and smell his woodworking shack! George from the taverna had some hidden talents too, especially at the estate agency relaunch party with his bouzouki. The author’s description of Theo and Leon’s dance blew me away! *fans self*
You can tell Mandy Baggot is smitten with the place, she writes about it with such love.
The thing with me and Mandy Baggot books is that I never forget them, they seem like a real memory and I find myself reminiscing about past summers and Christmasses! I know, I’m weird!
Thanks to Mandy Baggot, Penguin Random House UK, Ebury Publishing and NetGalley for the early review copy in which I give my honest opinion.

Thank you for providing me with a copy of this to read. Loved the story, could relate to the characters and I do hope there is a sequel!

Oh, how amazing it was to be reading another brilliant novel by Mandy Baggot. I have been waiting for what feels like ages to release a new summer novel and this one did not let me down. I absolutely loved it and couldn't give this any less than the full 5 stars. The cover just invites you to be a part of the story along with main character Abby and I love it. The pristine white buildings with their bright blue domed roofs, the golden sand and the shimmering blue sea make for an absolutely beautiful cover.

This is the most perfect summer novel I have ever read. Ever! The descriptions of the delicious sounding Greek food had my mouth watering, and I found myself daydreaming about being in Corfu, lounging by the glimmering waves! Oh, how I was so sad when this ended. This is the best novel I would recommend if you're looking for something to read to take on holiday, or even to get you in the mood for summer. It has drama, it has romance, it has humour - it literally has it all. It's the ideal summer escape novel.

So the novel follows main character Abby who goes to Corfu to escape from her non-existent love life and lack of job in order to spend some more time with her family and just relax. However, once Abby arrives she realises she can do everything but relax on this holiday. Her mother and sister's estate agency 'Desperately Seeking' has gone downhill, they've tried to revive it by using a little bit too much of eye-catching-and-eye-watering pink but it seems that the village isn't very happy about this new colour...

Abby isn't the only one escaping to Corfu this summer, Theo is doing the same. He's taking a break from his father's business and to say that Theo was a closed book at the start would be an understatement. Theo tells Abby that he is a gardener and bartender, rather than tell her the truth about his background. However, as with every other Mandy Baggot novel that I've read, we get to read from Theo's point of view as well, so it's great to learn more about him and from doing this we get to see why Theo acts the way he does and it really does make you relate more to him.

It was just a perfect novel for a perfect summers day. I'm so glad I got the opportunity to read this, as once again it's been added to my favourites. I adore Mandy's style of writing and once again I got transported to the location of the novel, as though I was there right beside the other characters. I can't recommend Mandy's novels enough. Thank you to the publishers for a chance to read this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.

Now I want to go straight to the airport and head to Corfu. Like with other Mandy Baggot books, you know you’re in good hands as she places you right there in the heart of the setting, sun and secrets.

Corfu might seem like the perfect escape but then Abby has to deal with her family’s rather mad idea of having a pink estate agency in Corfu. It’s not the estate agency that’s the problem though but rather the drama of what happens with the house she sells and the gardener....

It’s a holiday romance with hidden depths. Oh but as well as the action and humour, there’s the Mandy Baggot touch all over it - sun, sand, sea and gorgeous scenery. Greek food, sounds and aromas in the air. What’s not to love?

A book to make you smile.

Great summer read. Set on Corfu - I have never been but this book makes me want to go!

After losing her job and finding her boyfriend is cheating on her, Abby heads to Corfu, where her mum and sister run an estate agency. But when she arrives she realises they are struggling for business so sets about trying to fix things.
She meets Theo, barman and gardener, but there are some secrets he is hiding.
Great range of characters, especially Abby's mum and Theo's Aunty.

I'm utterly bereft that I have come to the end of such a fabulous book it had everything you could want from your perfect summery read and more.

There was Theo who I fell in love with, Abby and her mad family's vision for a pink estate agency in Corfu, there is greek food, beautiful scenery, high drama, sizzling chemistry, plenty of smiles and laughs, and so much more. This is escapism at its best.

I could wax lyrical all day about this book, but I fear I would bore you, so instead I will try and keep this short, and just tell you, especially if you are already a fan of Mandy Baggot to just go and buy this and read it for yourself. It won't disappoint.

If you have never read a book by this author before, well frankly you are missing out, but she has a fabulous back catalogue to catch up on too.

This is a story of Abby who manages to lose her job, boyfriend and her cat all in the same day decided to spend some time with her family in Corfu, only to arrive and discover their estate agency isn't doing too well.

So while Abby is trying to help save the family business, she comes into contact with Theo, who is using Corfu as a summer escape for himself too. Of course there is more to Theo than there first appears, and thanks to the way the book is written we often get sections focusing on him, and thus can see beneath his amazing good looks quite early on.

There is romance in the air in Corfu this summer and not just for Abby, and the villagers of San Sebastian are all colourful characters and I enjoyed meeting a lot of those too. There are business rivalries, interesting ways of trying to keep the Dolan family afloat and older relationships revitalised.

I even think I learnt a bit of Greek in this book, as occasional words are used, most of the time you could guess the meaning from the context, and if you can't then there was a handy glossary at the back too.

I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed spending time in Corfu with Abby, Theo and their friends and family. This is a fantastic book to while away a hot summers day, or a cold winters one when you are wishing you are somewhere warmer!

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