Ratings and reviews

Full review at I am, Indeed From travel to the ‘usual sites’, to participation in a tea ceremony, to Fiona finding her joy and a new ‘eye’ in photographs, the story is engaging and takes place over a short time, leaving plenty of moments for reflection, discussion and the romance to bloom between Fiona and Gabe. From the real affection shown her by her host family, as well as their gentle encouragement to move out and discover all that one can find in a short time, the story has plenty to recommend it and gives readers a real itch to hop out and discover their own purpose and potential in a new to them world. I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

You know where you are with a Julie Caplin novel, not least that you will desperately want to visit the country/city she features in her book. As an aside, what a cunning wheeze, to set each book in a different country/city so you *just have* to spend a month or two there on research LOL. Anyway, after ploughing through a pile of ARCs that were past their release date I wanted something comforting, with a charming romance, gorgeous food, and stunning landscapes and Julie Caplin delivered on all.

Was ok read 2.5 stars, writing style was fine. But the story, even thou different that most others, was just not interesting enough. Stopped reading it which 100 still to go to finish because i dont think the story is going to change much.
