When Anna Love gets the opportunity to move to Prague for six months as part of a cultural exchange, she jumps at the chance, and she is very keen to win the associated prize. The idea is that the participants will be placed with breweries in Prague, and they need to take what they have learned and develop a new beer. The winning beer will win the brewer all the equipment they need to set themselves up for the future. Anna's family background is in brewing but she knows that her uncle will never let her work in the family business as a brewer so therefore this will be her chance to follow her dream, outside of the family business.
Anna expects that she will have to work hard, she will miss her boyfriend, Steve, and she expects to share an apartment with a fellow participant. What she does not expect is that she will be sharing that apartment with her ex, Leo.
Leo Knight has a passion for brewing, and he is very determined that no one is going to get in his way, especially not Anna. Leo is the kind of guy who people gravitate towards, always positive and always friendly, but this should not give the impression that he is not a hard worker or keen to learn as much as he possibly can given this opportunity.
Anna and Leo both have so much to learn about beer, about Prague, and about each other. Luckily they make friends with their neighbours Jan and Michaela who help them find some of the great locations in Prague, as well as traditional food and drink. Michaela, in particular, can see that there may still be a spark between Anna and Leo.
If you follow me at all you know that we are travellers. We love going to new places and exploring. If you ask us where we want to go, it's probably easiest to tell you where we don't want to go rather than list all the places that we do want to visit. However, if you were to ask me the where do you want to go for the first time question then Prague would definitely have been on my list, and that is even more true after reading this book. I loved that the author took us to some of the great landmarks of the city but also that we got to spend time in the country. It is clear that this is a place that she loves.
This is part of the semi connected Romantic Escapes series. Leo is the brother to Raph who was the main characters in the book, A Villa With A View. I don't think that it was key to have read Raph's book before reading this one. I do have at least a couple more of the Romantic Escapes series on my Kindle to read at some point.

A Little Place in Prague
It's been years since Anna has seen Leo Knight. And of all the apartments in all the cities in all the world, he just happens to walk in to her cosy new attic home – as her new housemate.
As the two walk the cobbled streets of Prague, taking in the sights and sounds from Wenceslas Square, frosted with snow, to the soft glow of candlelit Charles Bridge, the enchantment of the City of a Hundred Spires soon starts to work its magic on them…
