singles, set and match by Elaine Spires


Today I am pleased to share with you my review of the brilliant and fun read from Elaine Spires. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for copy of the book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. 



Book Description
The fifth and final book in the Singles’ Series takes us to the Mediterranean island of Ibiza then back to the Caribbean island of Antigua, where it all began.  

After making a hard decision two years earlier Eve Mitchell has moved on with the hand that life has dealt her and she finds herself on the White Island working a tennis holiday.  While it isn’t a job she would have chosen, in her typical pragmatic way Eve gets on with it, working hard to ensure that her diverse group of singles, with their hopes, expectations character flaws and baggage, have the best time possible.  And as she binds together tennis sessions, social gatherings, meals and trips Eve hears some tragic personal news that brings her to another crossroads in her life.  Will she and the love of her life Melv finally make a life together and live happily ever after? 




My Review
This is a fun read that had me absorbed from the first page to the last. 
Eve has had to make a difficult decision and it is one that has seen her end up on the beautiful island of Ibiza working on Tennis holidays. This is not the job that Eve really wanted to do but she just gets on with it and works hard to ensure that the singles that are all booked on the holiday are having a fantastic and enjoyable holiday. The guest all have high expectations for their holiday and its up to Eve to plan it all and keep everyone happy no matter what random and strange requests she gets. 
It is while working in Ibiza that Eve gets some shocking and tragic news from her private life and this sends her into a spin with decisions needing to be made. The decision she makes can have such a big impact on her future. Will Eve and Melv, the love of her life ever find their happy ending? 
This is great read that I thoroughly enjoyed. Its got a very different style of writing but was easy to read. The is the final instalment in the series, however, I feel it can be read as a standalone read as the storyline in it is so strong. I really enjoyed getting to know all of the characters within the book and they all added something to the story too. The ending did leave me a little shocked because it wasn't how I thought it would end but I won't explain that more as I will give away to much of the story. 
The has been a fantastic series from Elaine Spires and I can't believe we have come to the end. I'm already looking forward to seeing Elaine is planning for us next.
