Today is my stop on the Blog Tour for this wonderful new release from Sandy Barker. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to join the tour and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
Note to self: don’t sleep with your flatmate after a curry and three bottles of wine… especially if he’s secretly in love with you and wants you to meet his mum.
Cat Parsons is on the run. She doesn’t do relationships. After ten years of singlehood even the hint of the ‘L’ word is enough to get Cat packing her bags and booking herself onto a two-week holiday.
A European bus tour feels like a stroke of genius to dodge awkward conversations at home. But little does Cat realise that the first stop will be Paris, the city of love itself.
Joined by new friends, Cat has got two weeks, eight countries and a hell of a lot of wine ahead of her. As they discover hidden treasures and the camaraderie of life on the road, will Cat find a new way of looking at love?
Discover the beauty of Europe’s most romantic cities in this uplifting and laugh-out-loud novel for fans of Samantha Parks, Alex Brown and Mandy Baggot
My Review
I adored this book from beginning to end and could not put it down.
Cat Parsons after too much wine has made the mistake of sleeping with her flatmate Alex. To Cat it was a mistake and one she will not be making again. unfortunately to Alex it was a big deal and in the morning he declares his love for Cat. Cat is shocked and does not know how to deal with this and just runs away. She quickly books herself on a touring holiday and leaves without even speaking to Alex.
Cat has booked herself on a coach tour of Europe. She will be starting the tour in Paris, a city that Cat adores, they will then be travelling through the rest of Europe taking all the sites and sounds that they have to offer.
Cat is soon making friends on the trip and is soon having many adventure with them. This does also involve drinking plenty of the locally sourced wines.
There is also the spark of romance for Cat with the addition of a handsome French man.
Will this be the adventure of a lifetime that changes Cats opinion of love?
This is such a wonderful read that gives a fantastic insight into many of the cities in Europe. The writing style of this book is witty fun and really engaging. The way all of the sights they visit are described immediately transports you there too.
I really enjoyed getting to know Cat as the story progressed. The relationship she builds with her friends on their trip. The foursome are all on the trip or different reasons and it becomes clear how much they all could help each other out.
The food they all consume on the trip sounds absolutely delicious and all definitely leave you feeling hungry.
This is the second adventure I have had reading a book from Sandy Barker and I am already looking forward to where her next book will take us.
