There are shades of Monica McInerney, or even Joanna Trollope here. The plot builds nicely, if a little predictably at times, and Bloom’s descriptive writing paints a vivid picture of the landscape in all weathers. The characters are all well drawn . . .

For those who love a good romance this book is an entertaining weekend read. The tour of the attractions of Banks Peninsular is a well researched bonus.

What I really like about this book is that it's contemporary and set in New Zealand. New Zealand readers generally get books set in foreign countries or New Zealand based books set in the past so hats off to Bantam and Penguin Random House New Zealand for giving NZers books that they can really relate to location and language wise. Bloom is a talented writer who can wonderfully create a landscape and area which you feel you've visited or that you're there. It has the right amount of detail to make it vibrantly real but not too much you're bored by it.
