Esther’s life isn’t perfect (whose is?) – but she’s happy enough living in her little flat with her boyfriend, Josh.
But that’s about to change.
Bored out of her mind in work, she wishes that something, anything, would happen to liven her life up.
Unfortunately, her wish comes true when Josh calls her from the airport to tell her he’s going to work in a bar in Spain, and she’s not invited, Esther is devastated, and her unhappiness is compounded when she discovers she can actually view the bar via a webcam link and watch him chatting up other girls.
But when she inadvertently clicks on a link to another webcam which shows a pretty cottage and the rather hunky man who lives in it, her interest is piqued and she wishes she could get to know him.
Wishes don’t really come true, though – do they…?

My Review:
This rather sweet story was slowly evolving, amusing, and chaste enough for my elderly mother’s book club. The main characters were gentle and likable people who were struggling with transitions and disappointments from betrayals by those they thought were most dear, but apparently, they were so very wrong. The storylines were rather predictable but with a few interesting webcam twists. I had never considered the implications of these hidden cameras and Ms. Davies now has me pondering the use and potential abuse of such items. I will definitely be more mindful about scratching myself or readjusting my clothing when away from home. 😉
About the Author
Liz Davies writes feel-good, light-hearted stories with a hefty dose of romance, a smattering of humour, and a great deal of love.
She’s married to her best friend, has one grown-up daughter, and when she isn’t scribbling away in the notepad she carries with her everywhere (just in case inspiration strikes), you’ll find her searching for that perfect pair of shoes. She loves to cook but isn’t very good at it, and loves to eat – she’s much better at that! Liz also enjoys walking (preferably on the flat), cycling (also on the flat), and lots of sitting around in the garden on warm, sunny days.
She currently lives with her family in Wales, but would ideally love to buy a camper van and travel the world in it.

Ah webcams. I’ve had mine covered on my computer for years – before people told you to do it, plus everything else in the house that has one. Great interview.
It is good to know despite the predictability and the slow start, you still enjoyed it. Great review.
It is extremely creepy what can be done with a webcam. Great review and I may have to pick this one up in the near future 🙂
This looks like such a sweet read and the cover is so cute!
It sounds like a cute book. It might be too boring for my moms book club.
Your mom sounds far cooler than mine, wanna trade? 😉
Sounds like a good book.
Great review. I recently read the recent romance that was the slowest burn romance I read in a long time. Not a favorite.
Oooh I haven’t read any by this author as I thought it would be way too cute for me.
Webcams – The bane on computers and at homes it could be protective if used for security. But I liked the olden days. I saw a post box – do you have them anymore at Hawaii. I want to write my tiny tot niece a letter just so that she could experience what a letter written by hand is.
Yes we do still have them, they are blue.
Ours here is red and they look cute
That cover gets me in the mood for spring!
