Summer on a Sunny Island

Not an Indie author, but an author I was lucky enough to see on an author meet and greet near my home town. She writes two books a year. Amazing! This is the first time I have read a book from this author, and I will definitely read her books again.

It has a brilliant feel of a summer romance.

Rosa Hammond splits up from her partner. To get away she joins her mum in Malta. Her mum thinks she needs a holiday romance to make her feel better, but she wants to steer clear of men.

Until she meets Zach.

Zach, in trouble as a young man, has a history of problems on the Island. He tries to stay out of trouble, but seems to attract the wrong attention. An old adversary isn’t the forgiving type. A new friend, and his trust is tested to its limits.

Both find a bond they didn’t expect.

The grow close, and with the beautiful surroundings, which Sue Moorcroft describes extremely well, their holiday romance blossoms. Zach is worried about his mum. He is not sure whether he will have to go back to England to help his dad look after her. Rosa loves it in Malta, but with the unpredictability of her partner, she may have to return home too. They all have baggage, both in Malta and in England, but find happiness with each other.

Will it be just another holiday romance? Or will the summer sun fade into night?

I give this book five out of five stars. It is a brilliant read, full of unexpected twists and turns, it hooks you in from the start and you will not be able to put the book down.
