Cafe Tropicana - Belinda Jones ... vintage arcade in Bath and a life free of complicated relationships. But her plans go awry when her long-distance dad phones insisting she hop on the next plane to Costa Rica to meet his brand new wife. Ava has no intention of jetting to Latin America to acquire a stepmother - until, that is, her father offers her head honcho status at a beachfront cafe. The lure of frothing cappuccinos in a land where the coffee beans grow proves irresistible. But she hasn't planned on Santiago, her sexy-yet-stubborn business rival, or rugged Ryan whose idea of romance is swinging through the rainforest canopy at 6 am. Both men have the heartbreaker gene, but could one prove to be her very own star-crossed lover? There's only one way to find out.

 ... his new (and very young!) wife, she is reluctant...that is until she is told she will front a beach front cafe, and manage it while she is there. This seals the deal and so off she goes to Costa Rica, her father is a let down, he has never done anything right by Ava, he acts like she isn't even there, and she is not looking forward to meeting his new little wifey, but the thought of running her own cafe, especially seeing as her offer on the location she wanted for her own cafe was refused, she puts on a happy face and...more

I am a huge fan of Belinda Jones, I have loved every book I have read by her, and I only have one book to read until I have read the whole set.

Red-haired Ava lives in Bath and spends her days bemoaning her boring job, gossiping with her gay best friend Ollie and fantasizing about the coffee shop she dreams of owning. One day, she finds the perfect premises for said coffee shop, but she is beaten by another bidder. Out of the blue she receives a phone call from her father summoning her to Costa Rica to meet the new wife, something she has no intention of doing until her father promises her the opportunity to oversee the running of a new coffee shop there.

Her other titles include the Paradise Room, the California Club and I Love Capri. This book, Cafe Tropicana is about a 30-odd year old called Ava, who lives and works in Bath. She is single and spends most of her time with her gay friend Ollie, bemoaning their boring lives and boring jobs. One day ...  Read the complete review
