Tucked away on the edge of a lemon grove is a long-forgotten café overlooking a glittering blue sea. Erin gazes at the For Sale sign leaning against the faded blue door. Could this be the place to finally start over?
Newly single Erin is desperately in need of a fresh start. So when the opportunity to work at a holiday resort on a sun-soaked Greek island comes her way, she can’t say no. Even if it was the last place she visited with her ex-boyfriend…
A summer escape is just what Erin needs but forgetting her broken heart seems impossible. Then she stumbles across a charming old café hidden at the bottom of a forgotten lemon grove and feels instantly drawn to it. Despite the blue paint flaking on the door, she feels sure this is the place to help mend her heart.
Using all the savings she has, Erin decides to bring the café back to life with the help of sexy local boatsman, Takis. His broad shoulders and dark brown eyes make her stomach flutter. And as they work together to restore the café, Erin imagines what life could look like if she left her heartache in the past…
But just as Erin’s feelings for Takis begin to grow, a storm sweeps in and threatens to destroy everything they’ve worked for. Is this a sign Erin should book the next flight home? Or should she give this gorgeous island and love a second chance?
Get ready to be swept away to the blue skies, golden sands and lapping waves of Greece in this gorgeous, feel-good novel. Perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan, Kate Frost and Mandy Baggot.

Erin is unexpectedly laid off after spending her whole adult life with the same company, and knows that she needs to make a change (and quickly), or her savings will run out much too soon. She decides that now is the time to take a chance, and applies for a job at a resort in Greece, far away from her life and her comfort zone. She gets hired immediately and is on the next plane to Greece, without a chance to even think things through.
She falls for the location and the people, and then stumbles across an abandoned cafe. Most people would walk away, but she had a feeling this cafe was her future and poured all of her money into it, remodeling it and preparing to reopen it to the public.
In the meantime, she's also falling for a handsome man who always seems to be around the hotel, even though she's constantly getting mixed signals from him. Can she make a go of it and be a cafe owner? Will she and Takis have a future?
This was a very fun story, and a great summer read. I loved the descriptions of Greece, and I can see why Ms Roberts was inspired to write about it. The only downfall for me is that it could've been another 50 pages long to flesh out the end of the book a bit more. But this is definitely in the must read category!
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the advanced copy.
