Take a Chance on Greece had a cute premise but I did not feel as engaged with this book as I'd hoped. I loved the descriptions of the scenery and Greece itself but I had a hard time connecting with the story and the MCs. I"m not sure I'm a fan of the writing style--I usually enjoy first person but I felt a bit disengaged by it here.
Formulaic, fairly basic dialogue, flat main characters. Lovely setting.
My thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC. This is my personal opinion.

Take A chance on Greece was a cute little beach read. I read it quickly and felt sucked into the story. The characters were likeable. Overall a lovely book!

I tried reading this one so many times and honestly. I am not feeling it. This book just wasn't for me. I DNF'd about 30% of the book. I do thank the publisher for an early copy, but it just wasn't for me. As a Greek I was excited to read this, but as I was reading it just really did nothing for me. I found the characters to be pretty boring and basic. the writing was bland as well.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I love Sue Robert’s books but I wish I could find more on audio. This was a lovely, feel good story like all of her other books. I loved Orla and how tinascious she was.

I love the way that Sue Roberts can take you to a place and it feels like you're there. I loved the descriptions in this book and it almost convinced me to book a holiday to Greece! I didn't necessarily connect emotionally with any of the characters, but I still really enjoyed the story. It did make me hungry though - her descriptions of the food were amazing!

After a health scare, a family scandal, and moving back in with her dad at nearly 30, Orla seriously needs a break. Greece seems like the perfect choice. While she's there, she's able to reevaluate her life, her choices, and her direction.

Join Orla as she travels across the islands of Greece, meets people, and falls in love...

A heartwarming novel which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Minor grammatical inconsistencies and a continuity error when changing from brain tumour/cancer treatment, but overall another excellent summer read from Sue Roberts.

Such a sweet book, highly enjoyable. The main female character Orla is a free spirit, always wanting to travel and go places. Flitting from job to job, never really staying in one place at all. Until something happens, that had a huge impact on her life. She realizes that life is too short, and that she decided to make a trip to Greece. Every summer her and her parents would travel to Kos, Greece and have a family vacation. She meets Gergioas, who happens to be an author and he is in Kos writing his newest novel. Him and Orla eventually start to like each other.
I received this book from Net galley for an honest and fair review.

An easy and fun read! The descriptive scenery had me wanting to travel Greece asap. There was a great group of characters in this novel which brought the whole story to life. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early e-copy.

The last place Orlando expected to find herself was moving back in with her father, but after a medical issue, that’s what she has to do. When she finds out he has been keeping family secret, she packs her bags and travels to a Greek island. There, she meets a handsome stranger and enjoys the beautiful setting. This was such a cute, feel good story. I’m glad I took a chance on reading it! Thank you to Netgalley, the author and Bookouture for the review copy!

This review will be shared to my Instagram blog (@books_by_the_bottle) shortly 😊

I really enjoyed this one. It was an easy and fun read and I adored the Greek setting. The storyline wasn’t unique but it was still a good chic lit read with a strong group of characters and I’d thoroughly recommend it.

Good read. Great characters, enjoyed the setting, lots of side stories weaved into it and it flowed really well. A good read for a rubbish day. Will make you feel better!

Wonderful armchair travel and escapism at its finest. I was completely and utterly transported to Kos, and feel I now have a good idea of what there is to do on the island.

I'd definitely be up for a trip on the pirate boat at any rate, as well as flirting with some gorgeous guys, not so sure about yoga on the beach at stupid o clock in the morning though.

But basically I would have loved to have been Orla for the majority of the book, I mean not the initial bit with the health scare, nor the secret that needs to be uncovered, but the exploration of Kos side of Orla, I'd have happily swapped places with.

Another stunning Greek set story from Sue Roberts.

Thank you to Bookouture and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I loved this, I loved the very descriptive scenery, making me feel like I was there.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

The perfect escapist holiday read.

I loved the descriptions of the setting and the people and it really brought Greece to life for me. The characters are likeable and fun and the plot moved at a good pace which kept me engaged from the first page.

Pure escapism that has you lost in the delights of Greece- imagining the sights and scents on your own wonderful trip.
I love the way that you get to know all the characters- some more loveable than others. Would highly recommend for your holiday suitcase to read around the pool

Always love Sue Roberts’ books set abroad as she conjures up such wonderful images I can feel the sunshine on my skin, even when reading on the dullest of days.
Once again she’s created a story filled with fully-formed characters and a storyline that held my attention from start to finish.
This is obviously fiction, so some artistic licence is allowed when thinking about the storyline of finding a long lost half sister, but I did enjoy the book.
I was immediately drawn to the main character and admired the strength & bravery the author created for her, facing treatment for a brain tumour but also stepping out and exploring the world as a lone female traveler.
I really enjoyed the book, it kept my attention throughout and I warmed to the main characters & was definitely rooting for them to overcome the barriers in their way & get together.
An excellent book to take on holiday, but equally a great book to bring a bit of sunshine to the reader any time of year.

Orla reassesses her life after being treated for a brain tumour. She makes a surprise discovery at her dad's house as she recuperates and heads to Greece. Whilst soaking up the sun and culture, she considers her life choices.
Take A Chance On Greece is a warm and uplifting summer read. However it also has an important message about being brave enough to take chances with whatever life throws at you.
Orla travels to Greece on a mission but also determined to make the most of life's opportunities. She has never had much luck in the romance department but finds herself making positive relationships with a number of men: will one of them capture her heart...? There are multiple possibilities for finding love but Orla needs to focus on herself first. I had no idea which of the lovely men she meets would be the one to give her a happy ending.
There is also the subplot of finding out what she discovered at her dad's house. Again, Orla has to face her fears and be brave in order to make improvements to her life and relationships. This element to the plot develops slowly over the course of the book to increase our understanding of Orla's hesitant personality.
The style of writing is rich with description especially of the scenery and food. This brings the location and atmosphere to life and makes me want to visit Greece!
Take A Chance On Greece is an enjoyable and gentle, romantic, life affirming novel.

I loved this book! The characters were so likable and the setting in Greece was an absolute dream! It had me wanting to plan a trip to Greece ASAP! Sue Roberts writing really made you feel like you were there. This is a perfect beach read and I look forward to reading more books b6 this author!

I really loved reading this. And have since added Greece to my list of places I want to visit. I really love it when the city in which the story is set in is used nicely, and this one was just that.
I just have one complaint, and that is that it was a wee bit too long. But since it was a comforting read regarding life and how it can change at any given moment, so the too long part was fine.
Will recommend it to those who love a good feel good book.

I love Sue Roberts' books set in Greece. They are filled with vivid descriptions of the islands, the people and the culture--almost like traveling there. In this book, a young woman travels to Greece after recovering from a surgery to remove a brain tumor. In addition to the urge to travel, she also appears to have another reason, but it's not divulged until much later in the book. She stays at a small hotel where she meets some interesting fellow travelers, including a mysterious writer who is rather grumpy at times and seems interested in her at other times. She can't figure him out. It was fun to travel vicariously with her and to see what happens to the characters. A great read for the beach!
