The Secret Cove In Croatia by Julie Caplin

Maddie comes from a busy house on a council estate, the first in her family to go to university were her passion for art and becoming a prope sod in a gallery artist grew.

However, needing a job her friend Nina tells her for a job going helping out cooking, cleaning Nd generally assisting on a boat her brother Nick is cruising on. So she accepts.

Nick and his model girlfriend Tara head off on holiday acting entitled and generally being very up themselves towards Maddie so do the ther guests too, Douglas, Simon, Siri and Cory.

This story was astruggle. I hate to be down on a book but my gosh, the first half I hated I can't blunt it down the action was slow didn't grip me in and the characters made me angry and want to give them all a good talking to about how to behave towards other human beings!

That being said after dnf-ing the book I did go back to try and finish it for this review and oh boy, after halfway the drama finally picks up and it's like a blooming different book. If it had started from the halfway point it would be fabulous the characters were engaging, falling into bad and lovely situations and the cove scene was extremely brief but all the same crucial to the story.

Please don't let my review put you off this book, I have loved Julie Caplin's other books, you only have to look on my blog to see that.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
