The Greek Villa by Sue Roberts

medium-paced

4.0

If you want a lighter, low angst romance to get you in the mood for summer you cannot go wrong with something from Sue Roberts!  These romances set in Greece always put me in a holiday mood no matter when I read them but when I only have 4 weeks until I go to Greece, I'm totally in holiday mode now!

Claudia decides to use an inheritance to do something very unClaudialike and buys a property to renovate.  But buying sight unseen is maybe not the best way to buy!

Hiring Dimitri, the local builder, should make things go a bit easier but the Grumpy, annoyingly handsome Greek male gets under her skin every time they bump into each other. Claudia is great at dishing out advice to everyone else about their lives and relationships but sadly doesn't heed her own advice! She could also be a bit of a snob and very opinionated - I think that's why I struggled with this one a bit.

There wasn't a lot of commonality between Dimitri and Claudia and I did have to just go with the story sometimes and found I wasn't rooting for them as I usually would with my MC's.  However, I still really enjoyed the story and was happy with the ending.  I really enjoyed watching as Claudia finally settled down a bit and became friends with the locals and a lot less stand-offish and aloof.
