My
Opinion:
*Book
provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
After Ria lost the love of her life her life got turned upside down. She
is still struggling and other parts of her life don’t make it easier,
especially her boss. When Ria finds herself at the airport, she makes a sudden decision.
One flight later she is in Crete. This beautiful island opens a lot of
new possibilities for Ria. She starts working for novelist Caroline, as her assistant.
And she also meets Tom a handsome and mysterious vineyard owner. The more
she gets to know him, the more the secrets seem to untangle. Ria wants to find
out more, but she has her own secrets. R9a enjoys being with Tom and they are
really cute together. It was time for her to open up again and tell him
everything, but can she do that?! And what about the mystery around this
family?!
I
really really enjoyed this story. Following Ria around was a great pleasure, I
felt very close to her. Her emotions came through really well and I adored
seeing her change and seeing her enjoy life again. I think my favourite scenes
were the ones with Tom together. They have a wonderful connection and chemistry
and the moments they shared were beautifully described. The mystery of the
story is also a great bonus and brings it onto another level.
This
book has it all: sweet moments, drama, emotions, light-hearted scenes, touching
ones and much more. Lily’s writing brings such a fresh touch to it and the
setting is just beautiful. It’s a story of second chances, love, family and
deep emotions.
Heart-warming,
uplifting, sweet, touching and just wonderful!
