Publisher's summary

Set on a lush Greek island, The Greek Escape by Karen Swan is a Sunday Times bestseller, and the perfect getaway for fans of Victoria Hislop and Santa Montefiore.

'This irresistible story will sweep you right up into its pages and keep you there' –
Heat

Before every new beginning, there must be an ending . . .

Running from heartbreak, Chloe Marston leaves her old life in London for a fresh start in New York. Working at a luxury concierge company, she makes other people’s lives run perfectly, even if her own has ground to a halt.

Then, a terrible accident forces her to step into a new role, up close and personal with the company’s most esteemed and powerful clients. Charismatic Joe Lincoln is one of them and his every wish is her command. So, when he asks her to find him a secluded holiday home in the Greek Islands, she sets about sourcing the perfect retreat.

But when Tom, her ex, unexpectedly shows up in Manhattan, the stability of her new life is thrown off-balance again. So she jumps at the chance to help Joe inspect the holiday house; escaping to Greece will give her the time and space to decide where her future truly lies.

Tom is the man she has loved for so long, but he has hurt her before – can she give him another chance?

And as she draws closer to Joe, does she even want to? As magnetic as he is mysterious, there’s an undeniable chemistry between them that she can’t resist.

Whatever her heart is telling her, Chloe is in over her head – another client’s wife has mysteriously disappeared, and serious allegations about Joe threaten more than just her happiness.

Who can she trust? And will she uncover the truth in time?

Fun, interesting, surprising

Like the scent of reader. Put in in right perspective. Unable to guess how things will happen throughout the book. Very descriptive so I could “see” where the characters were.

Not a Greek Escape

You won’t hear much about Greece until chapter 17 or so- and that was disappointing. A decent story with good twists.

The Greek Escape

I thought this book from the cover would be different to what it is. I have spent a lot of time in the Greek Islands and love reading anything about them usually. I just bought this book and only read the first couple of chapters haven’t even downloaded it all but the narration is terrible so stilted and formal for me cannot listen to any more.

Poor narration

I’m still on he first chapter and don’t know if I’ll get to the end. The narrator is far to stilted. The pauses too long. I feel like it’s being read to a kindergarten class.
