Very cute summer romance - great to ready on holiday or when you’ve read a gruelling book and need a change of pace. Highly recommended

Reading about a holiday disaster mixup with a happy ending really is the best way to spend your own vacation!

Maya and Alex are complete opposites and I loved how in the end they actually complimented each other so much! I liked that the book was dual pov so we got to see both their sides. Maya loves order and Alex thrives in chaos. What could possibly go wrong when they go on holiday and their room is double booked? Forced proximity is one of my favourites! I enjoyed having the sights of Mallorca through the page too and this book included some hilarious side characters.

A breezy summer read that you should back in your bag for departure!

Cute summer love story. Maya and Alex both end up at the same resort. While I thought it rather slow and not as exciting as some other reviews, it was still a cute beach read.

I adored this book so well written and the perfect summery read, Mimi Deb is quickly becoming a must read author for me! Can't wait to see what we get to read next!

I loved Maya and Alex and really enjoyed how grumpy Maya was lol

I'd highly recommend this one as a quick beach read

This is the perfect summer read. Whether you want to read it round the pool or at the beach it's a great read.

I loved Maya and Alex. I really did love Jorge, Javier and Alexis. They were great side characters.

It really is a quick read and there's laughter throughout.

Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy for an honest review.
I didn't love it; it was a very slow burn and almost gave up st 30%. However, I was intrigued, and that's what kept me going.

Maya books a deluxe holiday at the last minute to find that she has been double booked. What follows is a series of events involving her and a guy that she he meets. It was a little far etched at times, but enjoyed it on the whole.

This is a great summer beach-read, perfect to flick through by the pool whole sipping sangria.
It's a forced proximity enemies to lovers trope which I always enjoy.
Set in the beautiful Mallorca, we explore a little, eat some delicious food, and meet some wonderful local characters.
Both Maya and Alex have to learn something about themselves and a way forward, and I liked that they never really pushed the other, just stood by in support.
I liked Javier, Alexis, and Jorge particularly. They were great supporting characters.
It's a quick read, chaste romance with some laughs throughout.

Grumpy sunshine slow burn forced proximity romance. I love books where the female lead is grumpy and the male lead is sunshine. Fun premise, but I wish the romance would have happened sooner. Well written but, personally, I didn't really connect with these characters. A pretty quick easy read though.

I will not be reviewing this book as it unfortunately expired on my NetGalley shelf before I was able to read it. My review is based on the blurb of the book, which I will be reading when it was released.

I would like to thank netgalley and Avon Books UK for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Boring.

This book was charming and would make a delightful addition to your beach bag. While it wasn't a perfect match for me, due to its somewhat slow burn that occasionally lost my interest, it still had plenty of enjoyable moments. Overall, it's a sweet and light read that's perfect for a relaxing day by the shore.

This book was an absolute delight to read under the warm sun! I was completely captivated by it, as it perfectly encompassed every aspect of a summer read that I adore:

Thank you to NetGalley for providing an eARC of this book, this is my objective review. Our fmc Maya is methodical and an over-thinker with the heart of a musician. She books a swanky vacation package in Mallorca after failing to get the theater job she wanted. Alex, our mmc, is currently working as a property developer in his family's business. Reeling from what he sees as his friends' betrayal, he impulsively books the same vacation package as Maya. The forced-proximity trope ensures that they must share the same room they both booked, and they get to know one another as they end up taking a joint vacation. There was a dryness to the writing that made it difficult for me to fully sink into the story, but I did enjoy the author's careful peeling back of the layers of both main characters. We are helped to see why both Maya and Alex are the way they are currently, as well as why neither are fully happy in their present-day lives. Maya is a bit rigid and Alex was smugly clueless at the beginning but mellowed some along the way. I'll be honest, for me these two made such a bland couple. And while I don't mind the opposites-attract trope, these two initially were so different that a relationship seemed unlikely. They gentled towards one another as the story went on, but I found the attraction difficult to fully believe in. Extremely slow burn, maybe a bit slow for me but I think others will enjoy the gentle progression. Also, the description calls this a romcom but there was very little in this book that was funny. Gently entertaining, but not comedic. I think this was written fairly well and is a gentle, very slow burn, individual growth-focused story with a romantic undertones. It just wasn't the book for me.

This was a fun, easy read. The perfect summer holiday book!

The supporting characters were fantastic (especially the women). Alexis, Chiara and Lana have so much potential to be main characters in their own novels!

I loved the way the author dealt with Alex’s feelings around his sister, and the way he remembered her. The feeling of life moving on, when we are stuck in the past, is one many of us can relate to.

Having loved the supporting characters, I didn’t warm to the main characters the way I wanted to. I felt that both of them routinely didn’t stay true to character.

I also felt that the slow-burn was too slow at the beginning. It didn’t feel as though there was going to be a romance at first! It felt like they weren’t attracted to each other at all, then suddenly were very much saying the other was attractive out of the blue. They certainly weren't 'enemies.'
I definitely feel that this book ‘saved the best for last’ and I felt much better about it upon finishing than I did mid-way through.

3.5 sunny stars.

This was a simple, fun, easy and quick read. The perfect type of book for your holiday, beach, pool kind of read. This is a first for me by the author and one I enjoyed and I would read more of their work. The book cover is eye-catching and appealing and would spark my interest if in a bookshop. Thank you very much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

Sadly I had to DNF this book around 35%. I was not feeling the characters and could not imagine how they would have chemistry. A great premise, but not living up to the hype unfortunately.

I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Even though the story started off on a good note, I could not get past the 60% mark. It was quite cliche as expected, which made the story rather boring. There were times when I had no idea what was happening and didn’t understand why certain parts of the story were relevant.

Another big red flag for me was how the characters were acting as if they have known each other for significantly longer than a few days. This was especially weird with the side characters. For example, who in their mind tells someone they have met 3 days ago that they will be proposing to their girlfriend and invite them to the dinner. It’s not like these characters have family members they could invite instead of some strangers.

I will stop ranting now! I hoped for this book to be something it wasn’t, maybe it will be a book you would enjoy?

After a challenging few years, Alex and Maya book a travel deal, landing them double booked in the Sunset Suit on the beautiful island of Mallorca. This fun summer read will make you love the side characters and cheer on Alex and Maya as they embark on their journey.

Thank you so much NetGalley and Avon Books UK for this ARC, all opinions are my own.

Trope-y but fun. And Mallorca! Maya and Alex are opposites who find themselves sharing space as a result of a series of mistakes. It turns out to be the best thing that could have happened to them. This made a good summer read.

I hate leaving bad reviews but this was just “okay” for me, I wouldn’t recommend it and won’t remember it in a weeks time.

The story is about Maya and Alex who book the same holiday deal at the exact same time and somehow this ends in a double booking (very very unlikely), they then end up having to share a suite in a hotel (very very unlikely). On the outside this had everything I enjoyed (one bed, forced proximity, slow burn, grumpy x sunshine), it just was all very unrealistic and in my opinion there was no chemistry between the two love interests. I also didn’t really like either of them and didn’t root for them.

No hate to the author art is subjective, this just wasn’t for me.
