Thank you to Net Galley for the advanced copy of this book. I always look forward to a new Sarah Morgan book and this book was no exception. As usual Ms. Morgan has a somewhat dysfunctional family in the centre of her plot. The twists in this book make it exciting from start to finish. Once again the author's book has many different emotions running throughout the story, love, hurt, jealousy, regret but most of all forgiveness. The three main women all have strong characters but are extremely different in nature, however their family bond ends up being stronger than anything else as they find their way back to each other. This is going to be a terrific summer read when it comes out for those who pick it up. It is a great story that will hold your interest and you will find it hard to put the book down.

I have read all of Sarah Morgan's novels and have loved them. I feel the same about The Island Villa. I could not put it down and read it in one day. It is a story about a fractured family caused by secrets being kept for many years. Although one daughter is a psychologist and writes an advice column, she has never gotten over her childhood trauma and feelings of abandonment. The other daughter always had a great relationship with her Mom, but it might change when secrets are revealed. There are many twists, turns and surprises when the family gathers at a Greek Villa for their mother's fourth wedding.

This book shows what happens when people don't share their true feelings and keep secrets hidden for years to protect themselves and others. It is a good lesson to learn through these very believable, vulnerable characters.. I would highly recommend this book, you won't be disappointed.
