About this listen

Can a summer romance last forever?

Wren Roberts thought he’d found his fairy tale when he met Mateo Rossi on holiday in Majorca. The wealthy and successful older man swept him off his feet, and before he knew it, he’d thrown caution to the wind and was living in Mateo’s waterside apartment in Venice. It’s a far cry from his harsh upbringing and crummy flat in London.

But as the summer turns to autumn, cracks begin to show. Mateo’s family aren’t welcoming, and there doesn’t seem to be a place for Wren in Mateo’s world. He could have coped with all of that, but Mateo himself seems like a different person away from the sunshine island.

Should Wren have been more cautious in riding off into the sunset when he wasn’t sure what lay over the horizon?

From best-selling author Lily Morton comes a romance about two men who find that sometimes happily ever after doesn’t end there.

Lily Morton’s books are always excellent. But this one is outstanding. Her protagonists are well developed and her dialogue engaging and often witty and humorous. The settings of Majorca and Venice are as warmly and lovingly described as the growing relationship between Wren and Mateo. Throughout however is a subtle thread of melancholy - Wren has always been the cuckoo in the nest, never found his home - and that underlying note of sadness adds depth to the story. I was desperate to finish and devastated when I did finish it. A book that will repay reading again!
