It was meant to be a gloriously romantic getaway for Ruby and Hudson.
That was the plan, anyway.
But then friends start inviting themselves along, lured by the idea of unwinding in a chocolate-box pretty cottage, enjoying the promenade and the gorgeous beaches, and soaking up the sun.
With Ellie, Jaz, Katja and Madison popping up around every corner, a work emergency for Hudson plus another sinister mystery to solve, will the lovebirds ever find time to indulge their desire for sun, sea and . . . strawberry shortcake?
I adore this series and I am so happy I had another book to read. I loved that Jaz was a narrator in this book, but her storyline – nooooooooooooo what are you doing to me!!!
I do love a Ruby and Hudson mystery, although Ruby was pretty much solo. I love that we have angst with the couples but I do wish we didn’t. This book also took a bit of the darker side as someone was terrifying Bee and her gorgeous little lady Jodie!!!! How dare they!
It’s always nice to see the girls on holiday and relaxing….well not much relaxing was to be had. I also did NOT like one of the characters, and it appears I had a good reason not to. I just have no idea how she became entangled with Hudson and Ruby in the first place.
Each book in the series is fresh, fun, and just what you need to get you through the day. It makes my day reading Rosie’s book. Each book makes me fall in love with everyone all over again and I love a knight in shining armour.
So glad we have zero signs of slowing down and still so many characters to come back to and meet!! It is my happy place and that is never going to change!
Until next time xxx
