A getaway to remember...

Will the sunshine and sea air help her get back to who she really is? Or will this be the perfect distraction, a chance to have a holiday fling?

Bask in the sunny skies of France with everyone's favourite sweet shop owner - because everyone deserves a break, don't they?


 My Thoughts

In this romcom, Holly is taken out of the village and away from her family to spend a few days with her friends on a joint hen and stag do. Staying at a beautiful villa, she finds the life of luxury she has been dreaming of, but of course, misses her baby terribly. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments in this gentle romance, with a fine bunch of varied character and a couple of would-be suitors for her to choose from.

    Of course, romance is the last thing on her mind, Holly tells herself.  She is a likable and relatable character who can hardly near to relinquish control of her baby to Ben and her mother. However, with encouragement from her friends, she does her best! Holly has some choices to make in this story and surprises herself at some of her accomplishments. I did find the account of the flight out hilarious as no matter how hard she tried to appear cool and sophisticated, fate had other ideas. This is a light-hearted read which has you rooting for Holly all the way.

In short: love and laughter in this escapist romance
