Destination Chile (The Lonely Hearts Travel Club #3) – by Katy Colins

Original Cover
My own copy

The blurb:

Next on her bucket list Georgia Green is heading to Chile, but this time she’s not going alone…
The new favourite series for fans of The Curvy Girls Club, the Shopaholic series and Eat, Pray, Love.Join Georgia Green for a romantic trip into the sunset…

My Opinion:

*Book provided by the publisher on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

We are back we the lovely Georgia and of course Ben. The two of them are really adorable together in the beginning of the book and their business is going great. It's fab to see them live together, work together and surrounded by their friends.

They have the opportunity to go to Chile with other couples to compete on a TV show, Georgia is of course all for it and manages to convince Ben. Arriving in Santiago makes her dreams come true, until she opens her suitcase. It's not hers and what is inside is actually quite funny. Anyway she has to wear Ben's shirts for now. The challenges are fun to read about and so or the other couples. The more they travel and compete, the more drama actually happens! Oh and let's nit forget the ring she found at home! When is Ben actually going to propose.

The idea with the TV show is a great and unique idea to discover a country and the excitement really comes through in the writing.

It's until the last task that Ben and Georgia actually start fighting. Why hasn't he proposed, why does he want to win the show, why has he met up with his ex etc. This bomb is bound to explode and it does, they have a huge fight and it continues back home. Ben is just gone! Not at work, not at his best friend's, just gone! What now?!

I enjoyed this book from the first word onwards!! It was so great following Georgia around and the excitement was just there. I got learn about a new country and read a fabulous story at the same time. Katy's writing is full of life, passion and heart. There are so many hilarious moments, but then also dramatic and touching ones, the perfect combination! Katy has a very fresh, young, exciting, vivid and bubbly style and then you combine it with travel and there you go a brilliant mixture!

Rating:

Destination India (The Lonely Hearts Travel Club #2) – by Katy Colins

Original Cover
My own copy

















The blurb:

Let yourself go…
Georgia Green is about to board a plane to India, alone – again. Things were supposed to be different this time, but Georgia backpacked solo to Thailand and survived, what could possibly go wrong?
Only she is about to find out that when in India the country calls the shots – not you.

And Georgia’s story continues… YAY!!!

Destination India is Katy Colin’s second book in The Lonely Hearts Travel Club series.

The book starts in Manchester, where Georgia is now running her travel agency together with Ben, who she met in Thailand. She now is a workaholic and working all the time. She barley has time for friends or other things and traveling, oh well…

But then she takes the chance to go to India. It’s for business, but arriving there and being part of this tour and the adventure changes her again. She is the old Georgia now, the one passionate about traveling and adventures. It was very interesting to read about her transformation and I think Katy captured that beautifully.

While Georgia spends time in India, her business still has to work, so Ben hires Serena. Georgia doesn’t like the sound of her and that’s totally understandable. Serena seemed really weird…

There is also some drama going on in India, some of it involving Georgia directly, other involving some others as well.

I loved how her feelings for Ben were portrayed, something just changed in her. But what about him?!

We always got the whole picture of what was going on in India and bac in Manchester.
After Georgia returned from her adventures the drama increased even more on several levels, which was great.

This story is an awesome mixture of different characters coming together, traveling, daily life issues, love and much more. Katy found a great way to include the character’s feelings, describe all the surroundings and build a story full of excitement, drama, passion, love and more. We saw different sides of Georgia and that was very interesting, especially seeing why one side might be overpowering at certain times.

Of course it was also a pleasure to read about India and all these wonderful settings. Katy created a sparkly atmosphere, where characters interact and the story flows vividly.


I can’t wait for the third book of this series, because I fell in love with the characters even more and Katy’s writing is just on point. I know I will repeat myself now, but Katy has a fresh, young, unique and mesmerizing style and this makes her a very talented and gifted writer with a unique voice.
