When on holiday in Greece, Max proposes to Alice and they are so in love. After two years, the wedding is getting closer, and Alice and her friends fly to Crete for the hen party. There she meets a pretty Greek man, and is tempted but doesn't stray. I kept expecting some big blow-up and cheating, etc,. and happily that is not the case here. A good feel-good romance story, and one that is a great way to pass the afternoon with a glass of wine. Would recommend.
What a great escape. Great read with descriptive scenery (I felt like I was in Greece!). The plot is typical, but the characters make the book a fun read.
As Greek As It Gets, a story of Alice and Max's journey to their potential marriage..
It starts out in out with Max's proposal in a beautiful location in Crete, then moving to the build up to the wedding. Alice is going on a surprise hen do to Crete, where she falls in love with the Island and way of life all over again. Whilst their meets a gentleman who she finds a surprising attraction to, as she knows how much she loves Max, then why does she feel this??
The book is told from Alice's perspective throughout. Great characters, and I'm sure close to home for some on this journey. Great read for the summer, have been to Crete a few times and takes you back.
A definite should read, lighthearted, at times emotional but overall great read.
I've been excited about this book since I first heard about it, and it did not disappoint. The characters sucked you into the story and the story kept you turning pages as fast as you could. I devoured it in a day. I loved it.
Let’s head to Greece! Just look at that cover for a start. Lovely and sunny and as I opened that cover the sun started beaming and I felt myself smiling. A great book to feel you are actually in Greece.
Alice is getting married and is having her hen do in Greece. During her time there, she discovers a lot about herself and you wonder what’s going to happen when the holiday is over. Is she going to stay with her (controlling) boyfriend or will she find that her sunny new and artistic life is more her thing?
In the current times the need for a feel good read has never been greater and this certainly fits the bill. From the absolutely gorgeous cover design to the exquisite descriptions of Greece this book has it all. So much so that I devoured this book in one sitting. I loved the story of the run up to Alice's wedding with her hen holiday in Greece. Over the course of the novel she grows in confidence but will it be enough to get what she really wants? I loved the relationships between the characters especially those between Ria, Alice and Kerry. I wasn't overly keen on Max, thinking he bordered on controlling at times but it all turned out for the best in the end. So, grab this book, settle down and be prepared to book a holiday to Greece as soon as the current conditions end.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read this great summer read.
As Greek as it Gets by Sue Roberts is your ticket to a much needed escape to the sun-drenched Greek island of Crete. This is a fun, flirty read, and the perfect reprieve when you just need to abandon reality, if only for a few hours.
Artist Alice is thrilled when her boyfriend Max proposes. Everyone agrees that they are the perfect match. But when the small, intimate wedding that Alice has always dreamed of becomes overblown and more expensive at Max's whims, Alice begins to question just how well-suited the two really are.
On a hen trip to Crete, Alice crosses paths with a dashing local, and is surprised to discover just how at home she feels among the friendly locals, and, in particular, the artistic community. Is this life, in fact, her true destiny?
This is a quick escapist read that will have you longing to travel to sun-soaked shores.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC.
