Chloe needs a holiday, she's sick of making wedding dresses and her partner is having trouble at work. Her wealthy friend Gerard has offered the loan of his Luxury Villa in Spain - perfect.
Hugh is not a happy man. His immaculate wife seems more interested in the granite for the new kitchen than in him, and he works so hard to pay for it all, he barely has time to see their children. But his old schoolfriend Gerard has lent them a luxury villa in Spain - perfect.
Both families arrive at the villa and get a shock: Gerard has double booked. An uneasy week of sharing begins, and tensions soon mount in the soaring heat. But there's also a secret history between the families - and as tempers fray an old passion begins to resurface....
My View
Great easy holiday read where you can pick it up and put it down and still know what's going on. There are some great laugh out loud moments with the 'oohs' to add with lots of what will happen next. It has some great twists in it.
4/5
