The blurb:
A joyously romantic, feel-good summer read that will make you laugh, cry and fall in love. Eva Blue is about to go on a trip of a lifetime, but one adventure she didn't count on was falling in love...
Eva is quite content with her life in London. In her job as a cover designer, she works at home, and often in her cosy pyjamas. She's happy to stay in her safe little world and not explore much outside of it.
She is the opposite of her mum, a free spirit who craved finding adventure and thrills in all corners of the world. But on the day her mum’s will is finalised, Eva finds a list of all the dreams her mum wanted to achieve in her life. Things she never did because she fell pregnant with Eva.
Eva decides these dreams will not go unfulfilled — she is going to be brave and complete them for her mum. As Eva has no experience travelling the world, she hires a guide to go with her on this holiday.
Gorgeous but rude Thor Anderson is not the person she would choose to accompany her on this journey, but somehow she gets stuck with him. As they discover the world together Eva starts to think he might not be as bad as she first thought. She is swept away by Thor's kindness and mischievous sense of humour. But will it be a simple holiday romance or could this wonderful adventure lead to so much more?
The stunning new story from the bestselling author of The Cottage on Sunshine Beach. Discover an unforgettable romance this summer. If you enjoy reading Sarah Morgan, Miranda Dickinson and Jill Mansell, this book is for you.

So much LOVE for this story!!!
I don’t even know where to start this review, this book is just AMAZING!!!
We follow the story of Eva Blue, who loves her job as a cover designer. She likes to stay in her safe place and doesn’t risk much.
She finds a list of dreams her mum made before she fell pregnant with Eva. It’s all connected to traveling, adventures and enjoying life. Eva decides to follow her mum’s dreams and go on a world trip. I absolutely adored Eva as a character, she is very relatable and authentic. I kind of saw myself in her in some ways, but she was still very different, which made the story more exciting for me. She totally goes out of her comfort zone, shows courage and finds new joys.
Well, she is supposed to go on the trip with a girl, but she has to cancel last minute so her colleague Thor comes along. She doesn’t like that fact in the beginning, because he is rude and… The more time they spend with each other though, the better they get along. Their chemistry is undeniable and beautifully described. Thor turns out to be the perfect man: kind, thoughtful, sweet, funny and so much more. Can I have him too?! One thing leads to another… But what about his job?! And what will happen when they are back home?!
I loved traveling the world together with Eva and Thor. It was fab seeing the places through their eyes. Holly Martin captured the special and unique cultures and sights beautifully and included all the emotions. The storyline is very moving, passionate, charming, colourful and speaks of hops, dreams, traveling, love and includes so many special moments.
I love Holly Martin’s books and this is by far my new favourite!!! I didn’t want the story to end, I really want to see these characters again!
