Summer Ever After
Can love bloom again under the heat of the Spanish sun?
Ten years ago, while travelling before starting a cookery apprenticeship, Alice fell head over heels for Barcelona: the food, the sun and the gorgeous Andy Hall...Family tragedy sent her back to London, but now, finally, she's been given the chance to return. Only to find herself working alongside none other than Andy, the only man to ever break her heart.
The decade apart has changed them both, though he still has his frustratingly good looks--and is Alice imagining it or does the spark that always existed between them still burn just as brightly? Not ready to risk getting hurt again, she focuses on exploring the culinary delights of the city, and begins to remember a life she once dreamed of...
As Alice rediscovers a world of possibilities under the hot Spanish sun, could there be a second chance for Andy and the love they used to share? Perhaps the vibrant flavours of Barcelona might just be the ingredients for everlasting love?

Ratings and reviews
This book has no business being this long, I think a lot of things could have been cut out so it was a more concise and enjoyable story. I found the characters to be so surface level, even their “complex traumas” were dull and predictable. The representation of characters and sexuality in this book are horrendously built from stereotypical tropes. The bi/pansexual character is promiscuous and flippant about cheating. The Catalonia woman is cold, greedy and a “man stealer”. The disabled character is needy, unwilling to do things on her own not because she can’t but because she won’t. Then at the end she’s suddenly so much better, all because she lost some weight and got her man back. That’s just naming a few that come to mind. I should have DNF’d but I was just hoping the story got better.
