Perfect for fans of Jill Mansell and Carole Matthews, Jo Thomas's irresistible, sun-filled novel transports you straight to the mountains of Crete.

Sometimes you have to go back before you can move forwards...

One magical summer Nell fell in love in the mountains of Crete and her life changed for ever.

Eighteen years later, Nell is ready for a new beginning. When she sees a honey farm in the same hilltop town has lost its bees, the opportunity is impossible to resist. Welcomed back to Greece by the warm sun and aroma of wild thyme, Nell finds memories of her past at every turn. But much has changed since she's been away.

As Nell throws herself into restoring the honey farm, she starts to unlock the truth of what happened all those years ago. She soon learns that the course of true love - just like Cretan honey - can be wild and sweet. And well worth the wait...

Jo Thomas takes you there.

Initial thoughts: The best part about books like The Honey Farm on the Hill is being transported to an idyllic location, especially if it's one of your dream travel destinations. Greece is definitely high up there for me, so I happily soaked up the atmosphere. I liked the main character a lot and loved the bond that she shared with her daughter. The story was predictable, in my opinion, but that didn't diminish my enjoyment all too much.
