About this listen

Leaving fame and fortune behind, it's the ultimate escape....

Can you live on love alone?

Willow Carruthers - British Oscar winner, style icon and mother of three - is facing a crisis: she’s broke, discovery of her partner’s infidelity has left her a single mother and, if the banks have their way, she’s about to be homeless.

Meanwhile, Kitty - nanny to Willow’s children - is desperate to keep her job and knows just the place they can retreat to: her crumbling ancestral home in the Bristol countryside, Middlemist House.

To both women in their hour of need, the idea of leaving LA seems brilliant in theory. That is, until Kitty’s brother, Merritt, returns home unannounced….

From London to LA, The Perfect Retreat is pure escapism - full of sex, scandal and intrigue.

This book was very commercial and light hearted. I would definitely recommend this book as a midweek pick me up.

A light hearted book.

Took a little time to get into but once in I had to find out what happened next and I quite enjoyed it. Reminiscent of an old romantic movie of the 40’s or 50’s with an up to date overlay. Not my usual genre but a lovely change.

Apologetically, I put this book on as an easy listen to fall asleep…. That was a mistake. I loved this book and listened to it over the course of one day, really enjoyed the characters and the open and honest writing! Well done to the Author, and thank you!

Surprisingly good listen!
