When food writer Lydia meets Corfiot chef Thanos, sparks fly from more than the cooking pot. But will their sizzling hot romance get off the ground in the face of various obstacles?
I loved this story - it's so redolent of Corfu with its sunny beaches, flowery villages and charming tavernas. It really made me feel I was there, savouring the stifados and partaking of the baklava.
It has a great cast of characters - Lydia and Thanos are both lovely people -each with challenges, of course, but all the more interesting for that. The folk around them add colour and interest to the narrative, too - people like Lydia's madcap friend and colleague Caroline, Thanos's brother Onassis and his old neighbour Ismena (along with her mad cat) whose well-meaning efforts to keep Lydia and Thanos on course for a happy ending are often more hindrance than help.
Funny, emotional, with a well-paced and believable plot and a simmering backstory waiting to come to the boil before the final resolution - this was the perfect romance for sunny days.
