Sun, sea, and a sizzling romance… the perfect holiday, right? Wrong.
After a work party gone disastrously wrong, Samantha suddenly finds herself jobless and jilted. So when her sister invites Sam to stay at her little whitewashed farmhouse on a Greek island, Sam leaps at the chance to escape. Before long, she’s trundling up the cobbled driveway, almost colliding with sexy neighbour Spyros.
It isn’t all sunshine and smiles though. For every afternoon spent lounging by the pool, cocktail in hand, there is a morning spent adjusting to life with boisterous six-year-old nieces. When Spyros invites Sam to explore the island with him she’s tempted, but with his carefree, live-for-the-moment attitude, he couldn’t be more different to Sam with her five-year plans and high-maintenance hair. One drink, as friends, couldn’t hurt though?
Over glasses of fruity Greek wine and honey-sweet baklava, can he – and the other charming locals – help city girl Sam to appreciate the simple pleasures the Greek life has to offer?
Just as Sam is considering ditching her designer gear for good though, she runs into an old flame from home, and suddenly her London life comes hurtling back. Can her smooth-talking ex convince Sam to return to the concrete jungle, or will the lessons she’s learned from her Greek escape persuade her to stay?
A fun, fabulous, and completely laugh-out-loud summer read perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Jenny Colgan, and Sophie Kinsella.

My thoughts on Going Greek by Sue Roberts
Are you looking for a quick beach read? Going Greek fills the bill. It has a wronged TV presenter fleeing from the paparazzi and social media trolls after a one-night-stand gone awry. Samantha hides out on a delightful Greek island on her sister Fiona’s rustic sheep farm.
While there, she learns to slow down, unwind, and appreciate what really matters in life. When you add to the mix a handsome neighbor with a heart of gold and a past love showing up unexpectedly, you have the required bit of drama.
Fiona and her family are adorable. They have figured out that life is best lived at a slower, easier pace with true friends. Everyone from Spyros, his aging father, semi-reclusive neighbor Sophia to the many colorful townspeople make this story a heart-felt page-turner.
While I certainly felt like giving Samantha a shake or two to wake her up to what’s really important in life and relationships, this is still an enjoyable book to read.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.

About Sue Roberts
Sue Roberts lives in Lancashire with her long term partner Derek and has had a lifelong love of writing, encouraged by winning a school writing competition at the age of 11.
She always assumed that ‘one day’ she would write a book, always having a busy household and a job, the idea remained firmly on the back burner but never forgotten.
The inspiration for her first novel came to her on a holiday to a Greek village. Her daughters had left home and suddenly the time had come to write that book!
