I loved the setting of this book - makes you want to go there on holiday!
Beth is newly divorced so her best friend suggests a holiday, and they end up back where they were on holiday 10 years ago. Alex, who was Beth's holiday romance 10 years ago is still there, but will she leave him behind at the end of the holiday this time?

This book was a slow start for me. Some books just capture me from the start and this one never really did. Not saying I wouldn’t recommend it since we all have different taste.

One Last Greek Summer by Mandy Baggot is a delightful read that is pure escapism, and the perfect antidote for the winter doldrums.

Newly divorced Beth Martin and best friend Heidi decide on a Greek holiday in a bid to recapture their lost youth. Ten years earlier, the pair had a blissful, hedonistic experience on Corfu, where Beth met her first true love, Lex. Lex has never been far from Beth's mind during her last turbulent decade, so when he appears on the island which he has always called home, Beth is delighted to discover that the spark is still very much alive. Will she be granted a second chance with her first, and only, love?

Beth's best friend Heidi has also come back to the island looking for love, and delivers most of the novel's laugh out loud moments. The author is liberal with sexual innuendo, double entendre, and relevant Netflix references, and I loved every bit of it. This story has all of the ingredients for a perfect beach read, and I would highly recommend it as such.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Aria for this delightful ARC.

There’s something so welcoming about a Mandy Baggot novel. The covers are always so welcoming but it’s the story that really invites you in and to join in with the characters.

I’ve never been to Greece but I feel I have with this novel and the ones before it. There’s cocktails, ouzo and oh the food! The setting with the sun, sand and romance is stunning and so well evoked, you can literally feel the sand between your toes.

The opening of this novel made me spurt out the drink I had settled down with to read this. I was on a train, it was orange juice. (Don’t like ouzo so this was me pretending I was on a Greek beach)
That was a laugh out loud moment totally worth the bubbles up my nose.

There’s a lot of heartfelt realism in Mandy’s books mixed with humour so you can really relate to the characters. One has been through a divorce, there’s talk of affairs and lots of emotional moments! Beth has not had an easy life.

When friend Heidi suggests a holiday away from it all( we all need a Heidi in our lives) they’re off. Then the fun and romance starts. But nothing’s ever straight forward. Still a lot of fun getting there though. It was like a nice stroll on a hot Greek beach, with a man holding an orange juice posing as an ouzo at the end of it waiting.

I won’t take a sip quite as early on in a Mandy Baggot novel again. But I would dip my toes in the Greek waters next time she writes a book set here.

I'm always so, so excited when I know Mandy Baggot is going to release a new summer novel. I absolutely adore them. They make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside and have me longing for a bit of Greek weather and of course Greek food! The cover for Mandy's newest novel, One Last Greek Summer, automatically has you longing for some sun, cocktails and fun! I love the many colourful flowers, the bright blue sky, the traditional white washed buildings and it gives you a bit of an insight as to what the characters look like too. The whole cover is just really inviting and I couldn't wait to get stuck in. This novel was absolutely brilliant and has just made me love Mandy's novels even more.

The novel started out with Beth walking into work to her divorce party, there was a few willy balloons mentioned so it started off with brilliant humour! As the story goes on we learn that Beth has just separated from her husband Charles, who is also the CEO of the company she works for, due to him cheating on her with a co-worker. However, along the way we learn the reasons behind the relationship and they are so sad and emotional! I really feel for Beth and what she had been through, she came across as such a strong woman but also quite vulnerable.

The story develops into best friend Heidi convincing Beth to take a holiday to Corfu, where they had been once before when they were twenty-one. On this particular holiday, Beth met handsome Greek Alex and had quite a relationship with him, Beth had never quite managed to forget him, nor him her. It's all very romantic when they meet by chance and recognise each other straight away but also a little slower than Mandy's other novels. However, I was really loving this storyline due to the addition to Heidi, her character was so bubbly and happy and I loved reading about her time with Beth. It was great to read about some of the country and the food and drink!

Overall, I really, really loved this novel. If I could rate higher than 5 stars then I would! It's really enjoyable, lighthearted and will have you wishing for Summer! Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.

I love Mandy Baggot so I was so excited to read her latest. It's a 5 star read! If you enjoyed her book 'Those Summer Nights' that is also set in Corfu - you will immediately love this book as well!

It made me want to go out and book a summer in Greece straight away! The characters are fun and lovable and it's the perfect companion to bring to the beach to read this summer!

It's Summer, there's Sun, sea, sass from your best friend, drama from your ex, blast from the past which happens to be an adorable Greek God.

It was a hoot, a refreshing read where I couldn't help but root for the characters.

As a fully fledged Mandy Baggott fan, I have been looking forward to getting the chance to read this latest sun filled treat..

What a scorcher it is! Mandy always makes me want to book a holiday immediately and One Last Greek Summer has me longing for the sunny Corfu.

I’ll be taking part in the blog tour for this book so will save a fully fledged review for that but I will say that I like the characters - Beth is easy to like, you know she’s been a bit ‘stuck’ but I pleased she was confident to stick to her guns and do the best thing for her. Rediscovering a lost love a decade later, how romantic! Heidi is a fabulous best friend, funny and also in need of a great love story.

Alex sounds as sexy as... well,... what more do we expect from a Mandy Baggott leading man! I thought the relationship with his difficult Mum only served to show how wonderful, kind and loyal he is.

I can not recommend it enough. I enjoyed it in one, snuggled up sitting. On a miserable March afternoon, for a good couple of hours I was whisked away to Corfu. Perfect summer scorcher!
