This was a novella length prequel to the Love and Wanderlust series, and although Marcella and Seb’s relationship comes later in the series, I can’t wait to read The Second Chance in the Mediterranean. I mean, they don’t have the greatest start, and there is so much angst there already. How is this not going to be an amazing story?

Marcella and Seb are actually a really cute couple. I love that although they’ve worked together for a while, it’s not until this night that they actually get to know each other. Plus, it’s blatantly obvious that their boss is against them and not the nicest of guys. I’m not entirely sure what his drama is, but it’s obvious that he is acting in a way that is kind of cruel… I’m interested to see if he shows up again in The Second Chance in the Mediterranean.

I love how this novella has the feeling of a beginning that is rife with a whole lot of misunderstandings. It was actually kind of cringe-worthy how many misconceptions there were throughout a fairly short story. It was a bit frustrating that I need to wait to read the next instalments in this series…

Against the joy of this starter romance is the fact that both the backdrop and food was enough to make my mouth water. It was such a fantastic world in which to travel, and, as someone who doesn’t actually get to travel, it was nice to imagine travelling around on a cruise ship, cooking amazing food…
