Small, shy, safe. That’s how Becky lives ever since her last romantic calamity landed her in hospital. Her comfort zone is as confining as her tiny bank balance and fiercely guarded by her totally over-the-top mum. But the news that her ex is back sniffing round is the final straw. In a very un-Becky move, she packs her bags for the Greek island of Skiathos. When sizzling-hot restaurant-owner Kyros asks her to stay longer, Becky is stunned. Could she really create a new life for herself here and trust her heart with this smooth-talking charmer?

Serena Meadows and her twin sister, Luna, are identical in appearance - but the similarity ends there. Luna always had a mean streak and, as a teenager, her selfishness culminated in an almighty betrayal from which Serena thought she’d never recover. Years later the twins are reunited by tragedy and Luna is a changed woman.

Publisher's summary
Sun, sea and a sizzling romance...the perfect holiday, right? Wrong. Going Greek is a fun, fabulous and completely laugh-out-loud summer listen perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Jenny Colgan and Sophie Kinsella.
After a work party gone disastrously wrong, Samantha suddenly finds herself jobless and jilted. So when her sister invites Sam to stay at her little whitewashed farmhouse on a Greek island, Sam leaps at the chance to escape. Before long, she’s trundling up the cobbled driveway, almost colliding with sexy neighbour Spyros. It isn’t all sunshine and smiles though. For every afternoon spent lounging by the pool, cocktail in hand, there is a morning spent adjusting to life with boisterous six-year-old nieces. When Spyros invites Sam to explore the island with him she’s tempted, but with his carefree, live-for-the-moment attitude, he couldn’t be more different to Sam with her five-year plans and high-maintenance hair. One drink, as friends, couldn’t hurt though?
Critic reviews
"This is definitely the book for a lazy summer afternoon. Full of family, friendship and great descriptive writing about Greece.... I felt I had escaped to a beautiful tourist destination while enjoying the Greek food and hospitality.” (Prima Magazine)
