I have never read anything by this author, but I will be looking out for other books they write in the future. I really enjoyed the story as well as the pacing of the story.

Loved the side characters but there was far too much focus on them and this was too slow of a burn for me.

First I would like to thank the publisher for providing me an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Rising star author Bea Williams needs a vacation. And her godmother’s snug Greek island retreat is the perfect place to use as an escape from her writer’s block. Until she finds she’s going to have to share her idyllic one bed cottage with him – Gibson Caddell, one time childhood friend and a great big, drop-dead-gorgeous red flag. As the sun sets on Santorini, Bea’s thoughts soon turn to something much more pressing – there’s two of them. And only one bed…

What I love:
- Greece, this has been on my travel bucket list and after reading this book it has gone higher on the list. I love how the location does play such a role in Bea and Gibson's story.
- Golly, Bea's Godmother and agent she is completely unhinged in the best way and I want to be her when I grow up single, rich and not caring what others think
- Author, I LOVE that Bea is a well sot after author writing under a pen name if I was in any way creative that would kind of be my dream writing what I love with less pressure
- Gibson, there are plenty of times in this book where I wanted to punch him (maybe in the face) but I do appreciate that he gets over his past trauma and fear in the end, also just sounds hot and thoughtful looking after all of the women at the villa

Overall this was a fun quick summer read that was hard for me to put down. If you are looking for your next beach read with a little enemies to lovers, amazing side characters set in gorgeous Greece then I would absolutely recommend you picking this up!

A wonderful read!
This novel drew me in from the very first page and kept me hooked until the end. The characters were vibrant and relatable, the writing was engaging, and the story had just the right balance of heart and humor. Highly recommend!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

This was a really easy read and a cute romance set in Santorini. I will say I was just expecting a bit more from this to be honest ,it fell a little flat and very average. I think if you’re new to reading romance this would be a really good starting point as it’s not too long, and the story is easy to follow along

• childhood acquaintances
• she’s an author of children’s fiction
• her main character is based on 𝘩𝘪𝘮
• one bed…
• anxiety and mental health rep
• a very sassy godmother who loves to party

4.25/ this would be such a fun read for the beach! I felt like I connected a lot with the MFC Bea who is in Greece to throw a retirement party for her godmother Golly who is a riot and force of nature. She also is trying to get back into her joy of writing. Unfortunately her vacation is corrupted when the boy from her past is staying in the exact villa as she is and he’s now a CEO and Chris Hemsworth type.
Gibson just wants time away from people and now he’s stuck sharing his space with Bea, who is gorgeous which distracts him. There’s alot of emotional baggage both characters are dealing with, but I enjoyed the humor ( Golly is so funny ), and fun romance.
This is a slow burn/second chance storyline and it made me smile often as I personally know love isn’t perfect and it’s emotional and crazy so I ended up enjoying this one.

Requested this solely based on the cover, so kudos on that. I love the cover so so much.

This didn't really pull me in, but I was invested enough to finish it, which always warrants at least 3 stars from me!

Fun premise, needed more chemistry

I stopped and started this book multiple times. I think the premise is a good one, but I couldn't connect to the main character.

I thought their "meet-cute" with the flat tire was sort of cliche and I maybe needed more depth to feel invested to continue reading.

This story would be a good one for those who like love at first sight romances and for main characters to have a second family/mentor plot.

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins UK One More Chapter for an e-copy of ONE BED to review.

I rate ONE BED two out of five stars.

Loved the setting, storyline, and the cast of characters that surrounded the main characters of Bea and Gib. There was a good story and definitely some spice that should be a part of every sound relationship. I really enjoyed this book.

A charming romantic comedy. Bea an introverted author heads to Greece to help organise her flamboyant god mother/agents 70th birthday. Little does Bea know Golly has other ideas and fails to mention that the cottage Bea has always stayed in has another guest. A fantastic read in a beautiful setting.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a cute read! Bea Williams is an introverted author who is helping her aunt/Godmother, Golly, to celebrate her 70th birthday and retirement at her private home on Santorini in Greece. Golly has been Bea's agent on her successful book venture, where she goes by the pseudonym of Parker Kane. Despite the book series raging success, Bea is afraid to leave her pseudonym behind because her family history is anything but stellar. Amid planning Golly's shindig and trying to figure out how to move forward with her career knowing Golly won't be representing her anymore and being fearful of letting any new agent know her true identify, Bea finds herself in quite the predicament. Golly has double booked the cottage that Bea always stays in to none other than Gib, who she shared a room with at the Villa when they were kids. But, they aren't kids anymore...

Tensions rise and so does the romance between these two. But, Gib has his own family issues to work through and can't figure out how to open up. Bea, after being a doormat her whole life, decides that despite her growing feelings for Gib, she has to take charge of her life. But, after their time together, both are finding it much harder to live without each other than they ever thought it would be.

My favorite part of this whole book was the setting. I now want to go to Greece!

This was a cute little romance that was an enjoyable read. It was perfect for a rainy day!

One Bed by Joss is a charming romantic comedy set on the stunning island of Santorini. Bea, struggling with writer’s block, plans to escape to her godmother’s cozy one-bedroom cottage, only to find she must share it with her childhood friend, Gibson. As they navigate old tensions and undeniable chemistry, Bea finds herself caught between her writing and a growing attraction. A fun, lighthearted read perfect for fans of slow-burn romance with a touch of humor.

I loved this book! It was so fun seeing Bea and Gib get together. It was such a fun and whimsical read. I really enjoyed the tension between the two characters. I can’t wait to read more by Joss Wood!

This book was a cute rom-com that was enjoyable from the beginning to the end. I enjoyed it and liked the characters well enough.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC. I enjoyed this book and would recommend for someone looking for a quick romance!

Thank you @NetGalley and @HarperCollinsUK for the ARC. I really enjoyed this book. It was filled with humor and passion. Bea is trying to give her Godmother the best retirement/birthday party ever. Her Godmother wants to make sure Bea has someone to support her in the changes that are coming. Gib just wants a vacation and quiet. Unfortunately Gib and Bea are put in the same cottage with only one bed. Can two people find what. they both need, even if it is not what they thought they wanted?

I could not get in to this book it seemed drawn out and nothing happening I wanted to skip pages early on but didnt in the hope it picked up and got interesting. It is not for me.

One Bed by Joss Wood delivers a classic forced-proximity romance in a dreamy Santorini setting. Childhood acquaintances Bea and Gibson find themselves booked into the same cottage—with, of course, just one bed. The setup is fun, and their chemistry is solid, but the story takes a while to pick up steam.

While the tension between Bea and Gibson is enjoyable, the slow start makes it tough to get fully invested at first. The writing is strong, but keeping track of the characters early on can be a bit of a challenge. Bea’s godmother, Golly, adds some humor, though at times, the side characters feel like they take up too much space in the story.

If you enjoy slow-burn romances in a beautiful setting with a touch of meddling matchmaker energy, this might be a great fit. But if you prefer a faster-paced plot with fewer distractions, this one may not be the most engaging read.

⭐⭐⭐ (3 stars)

I fell immediately in love with Gib. I love his description. I could really relate to Bea. There were times whilst reading that I wanted to reach out and hug her. Everything will be ok in the end dear. This book is fun and light. Perfect to read whilst on vacation, or reading at home wishing that you are actually on vacation. This is my first book by this author, but I will be checking out other books.

Who wouldn’t love to sort out their writers block in one of the most gorgeous settings on this planet?! Add in the gorgeous man and just one bed, I think I’ll stay for a while.
