I am delighted to be taking part in the weekend blitz for Sunshine After the Rain by Daisy James. Today I will be sharing my review but first of all let's take a look at the description for the book...
A summer that changes everything…
Frazzled workaholic Evie Johnson has finally had enough! When she’s
blamed for a publicity disaster at the art gallery she loves, she decides to
flee the bright lights of London for the sun-drenched shores of Corfu and turn
her life upside-down.
Under the shade of the olive trees, she picks up her dusty paintbrushes
and begins to chase the dreams she had put aside for so long. But she never expected
to bump into drop-dead-gorgeous Sam Bradbury – and certainly not whilst wrapped
only in a towel!
A summer fling is the last thing Evie wanted but a few stolen kisses
under the stars might just begin to change her mind…

After the events at the beginning of the book I had my fingers crossed that everything would work out for Evie. I loved getting to know her mainly because her character is so endearing. Then add in how accident prone she is and I couldn't help but like her even more. Sunshine After the Rain pretty much had me smiling all the way through with it's fun and giggle inducing plot. Sam is quite an intriguing character and to begin with I wasn't quite sure about him but as time goes on his character develops wonderfully.
Even though our summer is a bit of a washout this story easily managed to transport me to a sunny and gorgeous Corfu with some lovely descriptive writing from Daisy James. There was heavy rain outside while I read but I didn't mind at all. It was a pleasure to read in one go and be carried off on Evie's adventure. From meeting the locals and making friends right through to experiencing Evie's love of art.
Sunshine After the Rain is a heartwarming story that is guaranteed to brighten up your day. The pace was good and I loved the interactions between Evie and Sam. They were playful and fun especially the more they got to know one another. Both the story and the characters were engaging and it made for a delightful read.
Sunshine After the Rain is perfect to curl up with and relax!

Daisy James is a Yorkshire
girl transplanted to the north east of England. She loves writing stories with strong
heroines and swift-flowing plotlines. When not scribbling away in her
peppermint-and-green summerhouse (garden shed), she spends her time sifting
flour and sprinkling sugar and edible glitter. Her husband and young son were
willing samplers of her baking creations which were triple-tested for her debut
novel, The Runaway Bridesmaid. She loves gossiping with friends over a glass of
something pink and fizzy or indulging in a spot of afternoon tea – china plates
and teacups are a must.Daisy would love to hear from readers via her Facebook page or you can follow her on Twitter @daisyjamesbooks,
