Book 2 of the series but can be read as a standalone., however it is much more enjoyable if you have read the first.
I loved being back at the animal rescue centre. It is easy, enjoyable, Reading . I enjoyed being reacquainted with the characters and meeting lots of new ones . Beth’s story intermingled with the original characters, and some unexpected twists to the plot made this a really great read which I highly recommend
Thank you to Netgalley, Book outre and Sue Roberts for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review

I have not read any of her books before but i have heard about them so I had high expectations. But she did not disappoint I was sad when she did not end up with Artemis but they were truly better off as friends. There was lost of cute scenes with everyone. I would have liked if there was a bit more about the dogs instead of a little big here and there. But I loved the wedding and that there was secret dance lessons going on. Overall I loved the book and will read more books of hers.

Thank you to Bookouture for my advance electronic copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

Everywhere she turns in her small town, Beth sees people and things that remind her of her recent breakup. So she decides to cash in her saved vacation and volunteer for the summer at a dog rescue run by some expats on the Greek island of Crete. There she is kept busy making new friends, managing the adorable pups, and helping her hosts get ready for their wedding. She also meets a handsome local names Artemis, but just when she feels ready to spark up a summer holiday romance some secrets from his past rear their ugly heads. Beth has to make the difficult decision to give romance a try or to avoid yet another painful ending.

I found this one to be cute but unpolished. It was engaging, but somehow I couldn't lose myself in it as I was hoping to. The setting was beautiful and the author's love of the place shone through. The characters were sympathetic and realistic. But it just wasn't for me.

The perfect way to ignore the bad British summer weather and travel on a fun Greek escape.
Heart warming, easy to read and really enjoyable throughout. The characters are easy to follow and connect with and the storyline makes it hard to put down!
Lovely light summer read. Highly recommended

I really enjoyed this fast, fun read set in Greece. It's an escape to Greece, a perfect beach read for me. I loved all of the characters, both the locals and the volunteers. The main character Beth heads to the island of Crete in Greece to volunteer at a dog rescue after breaking up with her fiance. There she is surrounded by owner Judith and her fiance Lars, her niece Tanya and some of the other volunteers, Hannah an avid reader, but shy, as well as Doll and Michael world star dance champions. Once there she meets a handsome local, who has secrets and she wonders if she might find romance with him. I loved that it includes some of my favorite hobbies-dancing, reading, and dogs. I definitely am looking forward to reading more of Sue Roberts's books. Ironically I had already bought My Big Fat Greek Summer. I can't wait to dive into another fun romance set in Greece.

"All You Need Is Greece" by Sue Roberts is a light-hearted summer read that transports readers to the picturesque beaches of Greece, immersing them in a tale of self-discovery, unexpected romance, and the power of new experiences.

The story follows Beth, a woman who has recently ended her engagement due to her partner's reluctance to commit to marriage. Seeking solace and a fresh start, Beth embarks on a solo adventure to Greece, where she finds herself staying at a dog sanctuary. This setting adds a heartwarming element to the narrative, as Beth not only heals her own wounds but also forms connections with the adorable furry residents of the sanctuary.

One of the highlights of "All You Need Is Greece" is the vivid and enchanting portrayal of the Greek landscapes. Sue Roberts does an excellent job of painting a colorful backdrop of sun-kissed beaches, turquoise waters, and charming villages, providing readers with an escapist experience that will make them yearn for a summer getaway.

The novel introduces readers to an array of characters, each contributing to Beth's journey in their own way. From newfound friends who bring joy and support to her life to potential romantic interests, the interactions between the characters keep the story engaging and dynamic.

Beth's personal growth and self-discovery throughout the book are commendable, as she navigates her emotions and seeks to redefine her path in life. The theme of empowerment and finding happiness on one's own terms resonates with many readers, making Beth a relatable and likable protagonist.

However, while "All You Need Is Greece" offers a delightful escape, it does fall short in some aspects. The pacing of the story can be somewhat uneven, with certain moments feeling rushed while others may linger longer than necessary. Additionally, some plot points and character developments could benefit from more depth and exploration to truly resonate with the audience.

The romantic elements in the book are sweet and add an extra layer of intrigue, but they could have been further developed to create a stronger emotional impact. The overall resolution of the story, while heartwarming, may leave some readers craving a more substantial and satisfying conclusion.

In conclusion, "All You Need Is Greece" by Sue Roberts is a perfect beach read that captures the essence of Greek beauty and offers a story of self-discovery and unexpected romance. With charming characters and a picturesque setting, the novel serves as a wonderful summer escape. However, the uneven pacing and underdeveloped plot points prevent it from reaching its full potential. If you're looking for a light and breezy read to accompany your vacation, "All You Need Is Greece" might be the ideal choice.

This is the perfect light read to take with yourself on a holiday. It’s enjoyable and has just the right amount of depth. The romance part was not what I expected but it turned out well. I liked the setting of a dog shelter in a small village in Crete, the description of the place was great and the characters were nice and friendly.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of the book.

Loved the story for this book! Definitely have the scenery explained and seeing the cover of this book fit it perfectly. Only thing I would have liked to see was more character driven plot. Thanks so much netgalley for sending me an early copy and thank you so much for letting me read your work!

Another delightful read from this author whose books always make you feel like you have gone on a journey to whichever destination they are writing about. Love how you can get absorbed in the story and the delightful descriptions of the food and the sights and surroundings and feel like you are there on holiday. In this case this book gave me the perfect Greek escape.

This book is a sequel to there’s something about Greece but could easily be read as a standalone. Was lovely to be taken back to the dog rescue and to be reacquainted with previous characters and introduced to new ones

This was the perfect pick me up and feel good read and hope that more stories are written about the dog rescue and it’s inhabitants so that we can continue to follow the characters lives and journeys.

A summer novel about Beth who escapes to Greece to get over a broken engagement. This is a decent read but could be better, it doesn't really feel massively engaging, just ploughs on to the end.

Love Sue Roberts books. This is no exception. Beth flees to Crete after her fiance breaks off their engagement. Brought back so many happy memories of a holiday in Crete

Love this sweet Summer Romance, on one of the many islands of Greece.

The best way to get over an ex is fly away to another destination.

This was adorable, fun, emotional, sexy, romantic… I could go on but to cut long story short All You Need is Greece is attractive and relaxing read you would not like to miss.

We return to the beautiful island of Crete and Judith’s dog rescue in All You Need is Greece. Beth has broken up with her fiancé and flees to Crete in an effort to end her broken heart but it appears everywhere she turns, there are wedding bells as her hosts Judith and Lars are about to tie the knot. With the help of fellow volunteer Hannah, Beth begins to enjoy herself and finds herself becoming close to Artemis as they explore the local beaches and nightlife. Although it seems Artemis has his own broken heart and secrets. I really enjoyed this novel. It features well loved characters from her previous novel as well as new ones who blend in seamlessly. It’s a warm-hearted feel good novel that I highly recommend. I was soon drawn into the novel and couldn’t put it down. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the chance to review.

This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the talented author and the publisher. This is a quick fun read. The characters are likable and keep the story moving quickly. Some of the love interests do not seem to be as realistic as the rest of the story, but it is a delightful story. I like this author.

Bookouture and Sue Roberts knock it out of the park again! I was so excited to read this new title I was recently approved for. I am not able to travel this year at all for some personal reasons so I was really looking for a great travel read to live vicariously through. In this particular title we meet Beth who is going through it with a breakup with her fiancé. Which we all have been through this type of heartbreak in some form or another so I was rooting for Beth from page one. To help her escape the pain of seeing loved up couples all around her which always happens more especially when going through a break up she escapes to the island of Crete thinking it will solve her problems only to have weddings thrust into her face again. Wouldn’t you know her hosts are going to be relying the knot again. Enter Artemis the gorgeous love interest who happens to come into Beth’s life and is recovering from heartbreak of his own. I seems possible that he may be able to fund his way into her heart only a secret he’s been holding which I won’t spoil threatens to tear the possibility apart. What a great fun gorgeous read! I loved the dialogue, fun quirky characters, and of course the gorgeous scenery. I felt I was right there with Beth in Crete. I was laughing, crying, and swooning with a giant smile on my face the entire time. Highly recommend. Our readers are going to love this one! Thank you very much for the opportunity to read this one. I will anxiously be awaiting another Sue Roberts title and all the wonderful Bookouture reads to come! What a wonderful group of authors, publicists, and community of readers.
