My Review

I love this series, and have been meaning to read this particular book for, ahem a while, so 20 Books of Summer has been the perfect time. As soon as I started reading I knew I was in for a real treat, especially as I was reading in the garden in this beautiful summery weather.

I loved the  setting so much, it really made me want to visit Croatia, but definitely not crewing on a luxury yacht with a group of entitled wealthy couples! I would not fit in and definitely wouldn’t be able to hold my tongue in certain situations, probably a bit like Maddie who found it hard to keep quiet especially when Nick was around. As you can probably tell I wasn’t keen on the other guests although as the book progressed I did warm to them a bit more.

As it’s a romance I was expecting the plot to head in a certain way, which it did, but there were some really good twists as well that I wasn’t expecting, much better twists than I anticipated making the story even more enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a wonderful romantic summer read I highly recommend this one. In fact I recommend the whole Romantic Escapes series!

Book 12/20
