‘An addictive summer read’ Closer – 4*
Three newly-wed couples. Three honeymoons. One hotel. And the ultimate question: will true love really conquer all?
Hotel Angelo, Croatia. Offers temptingly romantic views, unexpected exes and some serious doubts after ‘I Do’
Gemma and Andy Collins are childhood sweethearts and madly in love. Gemma is determined to have the perfect honeymoon after their perfect wedding – except that nothing seems to be going to plan. Soon she discovers that they are not the only honeymooners at the hotel, nor the only ones with a secret lying between them . . .
Jo and Mark Weston, a young couple who should have stars in their eyes, seem oddly subdued – and strangely matched, while older couple Ruby and Harold Dimmock are finally free to enjoy their lives together, but guilty consciences cast a shadow on their golden years.
Over their holiday, all three couples will discover that an immediate post-wedding happy-ever-after is not always guaranteed, but also that true love is worth fighting for . . .
Praise for Sheila Norton (writing as Olivia Ryan):
‘Like a good cappuccino, there’s more to this book than just an enjoyable, witty read’ Katie Fforde
‘This is a delightful novel that many women will relate to’ Woman’s Weekly Fiction Special
