About this listen

The number one best seller is back with an uplifting, happy audiobook that will raise your spirits and warm your heart!

This summer, sparks are flying on the island of Malta....

When Rosa Hammond splits up from her partner, Marcus, her mum, Dora, suggests a summer in Malta. Not one to sit back and watch her daughter be unhappy, Dora introduces Rosa to Zach in the hope that romance will bloom under the summer sun. But Rosa’s determined not to be swayed by a handsome man - she’s in Malta to work, after all.

Zach, meanwhile, is a magnet for trouble and is dealing with a fair few problems of his own. Neither Rosa or Zach are ready for love - but does fate have other ideas? And after a summer in paradise, will Rosa ever want to leave?

Perfect for fans of Katie Fforde, Trisha Ashley and Carole Matthews.

Adored Every Minute

it's a long time since I devoured a book in one sitting, but this book had me from the start. The narrator had a great voice which wasn't overbearing.
The story had all kinds of characters in it and Malta sounds amazing.
Another winning book by Sue Moorcroft.

Great book

Another great book from Sue Moorcroft. The only reason it took so long to read, is because I have kids!

Rosa takes a summer vacation to join her mother, Dory in Malta, in the hopes of getting over her divorce. With no intention of finding love, she meets Zach, who also lives in the building. He too, has no intention of meeting anyone new, but fate has other ideas. After Rosa’s mother sets them up on a ‘not date’, Rosa wonders whether she is ready to accept love again.

With the images of Malta and the love of families on both sides, this book kept me smiling throughout.

And of course, I recommend, for a relaxing, guilty pleasure read of romance and sunshine.

Sue Moorcroft never disappoints!

Loved the book! Loved all the characters. I think the narrator was excellent with the different voices. The descriptions of the places they visited in Malta made me want to go back again after 30yrs! I found myself going onto Google Maps and visiting the places Sue talked about. Highly recommended 5☆

Wonderfully story - really felt like I was there.

I loved this audiobook. the author is great at writing characters that you feel are real people and aren't 2- dimensional. I really felt like I was on Malta with them.

The story was well read by the narrator and they were great with different voices for the different characters. I could always recognise which character was talking.

Not for me

Really struggled to finish this book. Simple holiday romance. Didn't keep me interested enough.

Disappointing

After reading several good reviews, I bought this book for my mum, who enjoys a light and easy read. However, she's been quite unenthralled by this story. She started the book several times but couldn't get the gist of the story. She also found the narrator read the book too quickly. Overall, disappointing and will be returned, unfinished.
