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.

Loved the vocals!

The book was a little low itself at times but Rachael kept you in it with such amazing theatrics. Voice and accent changes. A nice read.

Absolutely Charming

This is a delightful romance full interesting characters, a solid plot, and outstanding narration. Some may find the ending a little too sweet, but this was really an enjoyable listen, both funny and sad.

Feel good read

I really loved the story.
For the most part I enjoyed the narrator.
Good character development so I felt I got to know and understand them all.

Perfect listen

As usual, Rachel Tidd does a great job narrating and does all the voices well.
Story is well paced and written so it is an easy listen too.
Plot is fun without the cheese!

very good love story

this book had me at the first chapter. it was written well & had me involved all the way through. the narrator was spot on with the characters. if you want to hear a love story that has its ups & downs but prevails, this is it. there were surprises at the end of the story & i did tear up. i would recommend this book.
