We are off to Kefalonia for an escapist, summery read. A Greek Island Escape by Kate Frost, was published by Boldwood Books on February 29th.
Can a Greek escape be the start of something special?
Xanthe Fox has it all: a famous, drop-dead gorgeous
boyfriend, a dream career and bright future – until heartbreak sends her life
into a tailspin.
So when Xanthe’s Greek godmother unexpectedly leaves her a
villa on the sumptuous island of Kefalonia, Xanthe jumps at the chance to put
her life in London on hold and escape to the island hideaway to rethink her
future.
The break allows Xanthe the time to explore her passions,
sift through her feelings and discover more about her estranged Greek family
while renovating her godmother’s enchanting Villa Aster.
But not everyone is happy to see her. Unfazed by her hostile
neighbours and after making a mortifying mistake with a sexy builder, Xanthe is
equally charmed by Kefalonia and a handsome, brooding gardener.
Chasing dreams, taking chances and saying ‘yes’ has the
potential to turn Xanthe’s life upside down, but will a summer escape allow her
to sparkle once more?
My Thoughts
Kephalonia shimmers in the sunshine and is a beautiful setting for Xanthe's escape from her troubles. Whilst Xanthe is busy trying to renovate the villa which her godmother has left her, she meets a variety of locals. Some are warm and welcoming but several are the complete opposite. Romance is on the cards but not a smooth path.
The past hangs over the story and whilst it is clear that Xanthe wants to find out more about her Greek family, it is equally clear that her mother is reluctant for her to uncover the past. Xanthe has to decide whether she is ready to take a risk and step off her career path which she has followed since a teenager. With a mystery to uncover and romance bubbling away, this is a great holiday read.
In short: Sun, sea, romance
