So I read Book 1 and thought it was a good start to a series, but I didn't get a chance to read the books after leading up to this. Carmen included a handy up-to-date character list and what they had done so I don't feel I missed anything. I must say I enjoyed this book so much! I just had one gripe and that was how the marriage "troubles" were resolved, it annoyed me a bit and I wasn't happy with the behaviours of either party. 

However, Annie is back, being Annie and she provides a lot of entertainment. I was laughing and shocked by some of the situations she got in. However, at times, her parenting skills need to be addressed!!

I will go back to the other books at some point as I would like to see how Annie got where she is now! I loved the trip to Paris, and it will be interesting to see how it goes with Sylvie! Plus that cliffhanger with Svetlanka!! I need to know what the text said!!! Plus she wore a cape to do the gardening in! LOVED that! 

This is a great book to lose yourself in, not take too seriously and just relax. I loved the audiobook of this! Julie Maisey is just such a fab narrator, and like the first book, Annie is brought into technicolour! I loved that! Annie is your everyday person, who is trying to get by, juggling everything she does, and that I can relate to! 

Looking forward to Book 8!
