When florist-to-the-stars Abbie Coleman catches a glimpse of her boyfriend through the window of Tiffany's, she couldn't be more excited. Keen to share her happiness, she organises a huge surprise party for all their family and friends… except things don't quite work out as she expected, and instead of planning a flower-filled wedding, she finds herself single, and fired from a job she loves.
Desperate to escape her heartbreak, she jets off to her aunt's quirky Hummingbird Hotel on the gorgeous island of Corfu. Little did she know that instead of spending her time lounging by the pool, drinking cocktails, and soaking up the sun, she'd be stepping into the role of the island's newest hotelier.
The arrival of unexpected guests sends Abbie into a tailspin of panic, and she's forced to turn to snippy, but charismatic, vineyard owner-turned-chef, Nikos Angelopoulos, for help. Why does the kitchen fill with smoke whenever she makes coffee? Why is there a naked man swimming in the pool? And why do the hotel's toiletries turn their guests' hair pink?
Despite all the chaos, the Hummingbird Hotel works its magic on Abbie, and she finds herself with a decision to make. Will she return home to the drizzly grey skies of London? Or will she take a leap of faith and embrace the new opportunities that little corner of paradise has to offer, and maybe, just maybe, discover a sprinkle of romance along the way?
What a delightful summery read this was! Based mainly on the island of Corfu, this book warmed my heart while I escaped to sunnier climes following Abbie Coleman in her journey! I loved Abbie's character and really felt for her right from the beginning. When she decides to head to Corfu to her aunt's Hummingbird Hotel, I didn't expect Abbie to be rolling up her sleeves and welcoming guests before the week was out!
Putting aside the obvious charms of this book's location, I really enjoyed this story and thought it was fun, light-hearted and absolutely perfect. The Hummingbird Hotel sounded delightful and I could picture myself there, with the vineyards on one side and the beaches on the other. Of course, there's going to be a romantic interest but surely it can't be grumpy neighbour Nikos? Nikos is very lovely but it's obvious there's other things going on in his life, which are revealed as the story moves on.
Filled with likeable characters, a beautiful location and lots of laughs, this book really captured my heart and held my interest throughout. I've chuckled my way through the kitchen fire, naked swimming and pink hair, and I've felt warmed and emotional with Abbie's family secrets. This was a fabulous read and I loved it from the very first page! Would recommend!

Daisy James loves writing stories with strong heroines and swift-flowing plotlines. She especially likes to create sunshine-filled settings in exotic locations - the Caribbean, Tuscany, Cornwall, Provence - so she can spend her time envisioning her characters enjoying the fabulous scenery and sampling the local food and drink.
When not scribbling away in her peppermint-and-green summerhouse (garden shed), she spends her time sifting flour and sprinkling sugar and edible glitter. She loves gossiping with friends over a glass of something fizzy or indulging in a spot of afternoon tea - china plates and teacups are a must.
