Under a Greek Sun by Mandy Baggot #Review

 

We are off to the sunshine of Corfu for a Summer read today. Under a Greek Sun by Mandy Baggot was published  on April 18th by Boldwood Books.

 
Eve Collins is looking forward to the holidays.

Her job as a counsellor has been as taxing as it has been rewarding, and she can’t wait for some downtime on the Greek island of Corfu with best-friend, Gabby. But between Eve’s brother, Ben, unexpectedly joining and Gabby’s job at the animal rescue centre keeping her busy, Eve might have to start mucking in…

When Gianni arrives in the village of Episkepsi, it’s like a model has stepped straight off the pages of Vogue Italia… with an uptight personality to match. He may be super-sexy but there are obvious chips on those broad shoulders.

As Eve and Gianni get to know each other and both start to lean into the Greek customs and avrio mentality, an initial attraction starts to turn into something more. But with so much family drama in both their lives, neither of them were looking for a holiday romance...


 My Thoughts

Eve turns out to be an interesting character who has her vulnerabilities and I particularly liked the way that you could understand her adult behaviours when you knew the full story of her early years. Perceptive and tuned in to others’ problems, she has been struggling to cope with her grief at her father’s death. Wary of trusting men, she has buried herself in a version of her life which feels like her safe place. This has made making new relationships hard. 

    Alongside Eve’s story, we have Gianni’s which turns out to be surprising. He has come to Corfu looking for answers. All his ideas about his childhood have been thrown up in the air. Corfu is a delightful setting for the story and there are plenty of locals to add humour and colour. Family is an important component and there are several relationships to follow. This is a great read for the coming Summer.

In short: secrets from the past have far reaching consequences
