This summer, on the Greek island of Corfu, sparks will fly as dreams come true…
Lydia Broom is living her second-best life. With her dreams of being a chef left in the dust, she instead finds solace writing about the dishes she wished she created. When Lydia’s sent to Corfu on an assignment, she’s excited to see what culinary delights the island has to offer, but nothing seems to tickle her fancy – until she tastes the creations of local cook, Thanos Nicolaidis.
After one sizzling afternoon in the kitchen together, Lydia and Thanos both allow themselves to dream of the futures they desperately want. And as they grow closer, sharing secret ingredients and family recipes, Thanos begins to realise he has to show Lydia the parts of him he’s done so well to hide…
Get ready for the hottest Greek meze on the menu as Lydia and Thanos discover that amid the sirtaki dancing and the smashing plates, they might just be cooking up their very own love story.

If you love Corfu you will love this story, actually, even if you have never been to Corfu after reading this and loving it you will want to go there. The descriptions of villages on this island give you an image you can almost see. If you like a barbeque you will be setting them up anywhere after reading this. A truly lovely romance story that all works out wonderfully at the end. The perfect read for lazy days in the garden or on the beach.
Maybe a map of the island at the beginning and a recipe at the end would be a great addition if they were included in this book.
