Take one divorcee, who needs to regain control over her life without pushing people away; add in the ‘Heavenly Hunks (more on them later!); add a best friend, who knows when to push her friend in the right direction and mix this into the fun-filled holiday destination that is Tenerife and you have ‘Sun, Sea and Sangria’ by Victoria Cooke. We may not be able to go on holiday to sunnier climbs at the moment, but throw on some sun cream, pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple; set your phone to do not disturb and you’ll feel the holiday vibes as you follow the unlucky in love Kat; the dreamy men in her life and a new addition to her world who is about to challenge her in ways that she isn’t sure she is ready for.
What I thought of the eBook
Victoria Cooke, whose book Who Needs Men Anyway? was a digital bestseller in 2018, provides you with the perfect mixture of romance, golden beaches and handsome men. Kat left her cheating, controlling husband back in England and headed for the sparkling waters of the Canary Islands where she submerges herself in the world of holiday entertainment. The Heavenly Hunks are her all-male dance troupe. Her best friends (who she keeps firmly in check), who help her to keep her ship steady as she navigates life on her own. While Ant, Hugo, Marcus and the other Hunks, backflip, sing and dance into holidaymakers’ affections, Kat’s attention is drawn to the new addition, Jay, who isn’t all that he seems. Kat is determined that she will not be hurt again, but she is drawn to Jay in more ways than one and he seems to know how to make her temperature rise involuntarily.
‘Sun, Sea and Sangria’ is a light, easy-going read which captures your interest with its insight into the life of entertainment abroad. As you follow the team on their quest to win a competition, you’ll find yourself rooting for them as they come up against some talented acts. The characters are flirtatious, playful and sincere. You’ll laugh with them ( especially Andrea, Kat’s bar-owning best friend, who lets the Hunks rehearse in her bar for free so that she can watch from afar); you’ll feel disappointed for them but more importantly, you’ll be excited by the twists and turns in their story. Especially when a leading entertainer from the lucrative world of Las Vegas offers Kat a deal she can’t refuse. Will the Hunks prove the cynics wrong and win the competition? Will Kat allow herself to let go of the control she has established over her life so she can finally be happy? Like I said before, sit back, relax and you’ll feel as sizzling at the May heat!

This sounds perfect poolside reading – so a deckchair in the garden and a glass of sangria will have to do! Like the sound of the Heavenly Hunks too.
Hahaha yes indeed, to take your mind of current troubles
This sounds like a great book to read when away on holiday or just relaxing in the garden when the sun is shining, one for my ever-growing reading list
Absolutely Samantha! This is a fab book to read and relax after a hectic day
This certainly seems like a very interesting read! Ebooks are something I actually haven’t used much of so far but it seems a lot more convenient than purchasing a paper copy from the shops!
And the eBooks are a lot cheaper than paperback too
I have never read using my tablet or other devices. However, it sounds a great idea for my summer. I would like to read the specific e-book and learn all story.
Hope you do get the chance to read this ebook especially with some publishers now only offering eBooks
This sounds like my kind of easy summertime read. The kind of thing I’d usually prefer to read on a sunbed on holiday but alas not this summer x
Well the garden would work well especially on a nice day
This sounds like like a good book. It would help my mind wander to places I dream of visiting! Oh my. I definitely long for those days when I could go to the beach and have a really relaxing weekend!
It would indeed especially now that we are stuck at home
Sounds like a great one to enjoy whilst sitting in the garden with the children. An easy summer read – adding to the reading list.
Please do Sarah and let me know what you think of it

This sounds like an interesting summer read for the holiday period. I’m sure many will enjoy reading it.
Yes most would enjoy reading this eBook
Lovely holiday type read I’m
Sure! I’m more into audio books so I can multi task and cook or clean at the same time. Think it’s just my mother instinct to do more than one thing at once
eBooks are fab as you can read them whenever
Not my normal kind of read, but does sound like a relaxing read. And perfect to dream about being on holiday at the moment too
Agree, and why not!
Sounds like a great read, an easy read is always good for summer time reading whilst watching the kids by the pool etc! I do love a story with good twists and turns too so will definitely go check this out, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Absolutely agree, this is such a light and easy read
Sounds like the right kind of book I need right now, dreading of being on holiday.
This is such a wonderful eBook to read
Sun, sea and Sangria sounds like a great light read. Perfect for cheering us up as we can’t travel at the moment
So agree, this will get you into the mood for travelling
