Summary

'Bea’s snark and Gibson’s charm made for some delicious banter, and the chemistry between them crackles like the Santorini sunsets. You can feel the heat in every glance and every argument'

Rising star author Bea Williams needs a vacation.

And her godmother’s snug Greek island retreat is the perfect place to use as an escape from her writer’s block.

Until she finds she’s going to have to share her idyllic one bed cottage with him – Gibson Caddell, one time childhood friend and a great big, drop-dead-gorgeous red flag.

As the sun sets on Santorini, Bea’s thoughts soon turn to something much more pressing – there’s two of them. And only one bed…

One Bed was one of those reads that I enjoyed well enough while I was reading it, but it didn’t leave a huge lasting impression on me afterwards. The Greek island setting was cute and definitely gave the whole story that holiday romance atmosphere, which was probably my favourite part of the book.

The chemistry between Bea and Gibson was decent, and the classic “only one bed” setup always has potential for tension and awkwardness, but for me it never fully reached the emotional payoff I was hoping for. I kept waiting to completely fall in love with the story and it just never quite happened.

That said, it’s still an easy, light romance to fly through, especially if you enjoy holiday settings, childhood connections, and low-drama contemporary romance. It just ended up being more of a pleasant “fine” read than a standout favourite for me personally.
