Set on the Greek Island of Kos, this is light, flirty and fun, in other words, a lovely ‘escape from it all’ read. When she was younger, Pippa adored her holidays in the village of Taxos, where she found friends, laughter and happiness. When Pippa returns after nine years, she discovers the village is struggling to survive and her daydreams of a tea-shop may in reality help save the village. Pippa tells her own story, and occasionally Samantha Tonge allows her to toy with the reader, letting Pippa’s imagination rush off and tease us. Joining Pippa are handsome men, tasty scones and gorgeous surroundings, ensuring ‘Game of Scones’ is a sparkling, delightful romance.
Samantha Tonge's next sizzling summer read is coming in August and is called Breakfast at Poldark's.
Voted best Romantic eBook at 2015 Love Stories Awards 'This was the ultimate summer read and I enjoyed every page and every word. A little slice of paradise.' - Jenny in Neverland A story of icing and flour...and how love doesn't always go to plan! Growing up, Pippa Pattinson's summers were spent in the idyllic Greek island fishing village of Taxos. There she spent many long hazy days determinedly ignoring thoughts of the life her parents had mapped out for her (a dreary-but-secure accounting job and obligatory sensible husband!) Instead she daydreamed of running her own tea shop - serving the perfect scones - with mocha-eyed childhood friend Niklaus by her side...Arriving back in Taxos for the first time in years, with suave boyfriend Henrik, Pippa barely recognises the tired little town - but is relieved to catch glimpses of the quaint, charming village she's always loved. Together Niklaus and Pippa put together a proposal to save Taxos from tourist-tastic ruin, and at the heart of their plan is Pippa's dream project: The Tastiest Little Tea Shop in Taxos. It's time for Pippa to leave her London life behind and dust off her scone recipe that's guaranteed to win over both locals and visitors. And amidst the rolling pins and raisins, it seems romance is blossoming where she's least expecting it...Loved Game of Scones then don't miss My Big Fat Christmas Wedding - out now!
