Anna Love and Leo Knight used to be married to each other for six months before Anna broke it off because she was very insecure and didn't trust Leo to stay with her, even though he had not given her any indication that he wouldn't.

Years later, they meet again in Prague, Czech Republic, where they both have a six months beer brewery placement and are, of course, forced to share a flat.

Predictably, the forced proximity makes them fall in love with each other again, but Anna still needs a few stern talkings to before she agrees to try again.

In the meantime, the author does a great job of writing a love letter to Prague, a city I've never been to. The culture, scenery and food descriptions are enticing, and the people friendly.

I enjoy Julie Caplins books because she does romantic escapes to foreign cities very well and seems to research thoroughly every time. Recommended if you like second chance romances in a charming foreign setting and it doesn't bother you that it's never explained how a six months' stay in an EU country works after Brexit.
