Orange Blossom Love

‘The musician had begun again, a guitar solo this time, his dark head bent low and lovingly over the instrument, absorbed in it. Margaret found herself watching him. She found her gaze riveted to his wrist and hand as it moved on the guitar, her attention caught by the brown skin against the pale blue of his jacket, the long, strong fingers moving so surely and confidently.’

Margaret is in her mid thirties, divorced, depressed and working in property sales on Tenerife. Only a few weeks ago, she left wintry Glasgow to make a new life for herself in the sunny Canary Isles. That was the idea at the time, but now she’s not so sure. You take yourself with you wherever you go, and she’s as lonely and unhappy as she ever was. 

Luis is a musician and a chef from the nearby island of La Gomera. He plays the guitar and sings traditional songs in the bar where the property crowd spend their evenings. But he has much more serious dreams and ambitions, until he is brought up short by his unexpected but overwhelming attraction to Margaret. 

The feeling turns out to be mutual. 

Orange Blossom Love is an unashamedly romantic novel from award winning writer, Catherine Czerkawska. This is an intelligent and grown up love story about an irresistible mutual attraction followed by an impulsive cross cultural marriage - and what happens after. 

It’s a sexy, appealing and thought-provoking novel whether you’re reading it beside a wintry fireside or on holiday in the sun.
