🎵 Music Running through my mind!
*** this is the song that ran through my head throughout this book, doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the story, but I will be pairing my books with songs going forward!

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you’re not alone
'Cause I’m going to make this place your home

Love Heart Lane is a lovely, cosy story best served with a steaming mug of hot chocolate, cashmere socks and a warm, soft blanket. Even if you haven't got those things to hand, you'll feel like you have when you read Love Heart Lane!

Perfect for these dark, cold January days, this tale of family, friendship and community is written with love and warmth, and is the perfect escape. Christie's writing is so evocative that I shivered when I was reading the snowy scenes at the beginning. Fergus soon melted my heart though!

The themes of heartbreak and loss also runs through the book, and we learn that tragedy can pull a community together, as well as tear it apart.

It truly is a heartwarming book, and it's the first in a series, so I'm looking forward to reading more and getting to know the residents of Heartcross even better.

I love when books go beyond the main story, especially in romance. This story went beyond the romance and the characters and found a way to incorporate all of the characters, the town and the setting. I really like when books do that especially since a lot of romance novels do not.

Overall I loved this book and loved the cover too.

Firstly, I would like to thank Rachel Gilbey for organising this blog tour. As soon as I knew a new series was coming out from Christie Barlow I new I had to get my hands on a copy as quickly as possible.
Well as the blurb says Welcome to Love Heart Lane and what an absolutely brilliant setting we have for this story. Love Heart Lane is in the beautiful village of Heartcross in the Scottish highlands and here there is plenty of drama. It all starts with snow which is very apt at this moment in time and the arrival of Felicity, who is back home to face up to what she left behind. Her arrival home is met with mixed emotions from many of the locals and lots has changed. Felicity needs to get herself together to help sort out the village of Heartcross before everything is lost. Just when things seem to be calming down, the snow has stopped and his melting and friends are welcoming Felicity back with warm hugs heavy winds and rain appear leaving the village stranded as the only connection to Heartcross collapses. All the locals must pull together but they need a strong leader to guide them!
Felicity has an eventful welcome back to the village and not just with the locals and the weather but also with a certain handsome man she left behind and still loves. Christie has really excelled in her writing if that is even possible as her last book was just amazing and had me in tears. Love Heart Lane has my emotions all over the place too.
A brilliant read filled read full of hope, love and friendship. I am excited for what is next in the series.

I absolutely LOVED this book! It is such a heart-warming love story, but isn't without it's drama and heart-break.
Felicity (AKA Flick) is a very likeable, but conflicted, character. When we meet her she is living in London, but is not exactly loving life in the capital any more. When she receives news that her beloved Grandmother has passed away, she takes immediate leave from her job (which she is loving less and less as time goes on) and jumps on a flight home to Scotland. She has no idea how the village are going to react to her return, but she is worried about one person in particular. We realise that Fergus is an ex and that Flick moved to London quite hastily some years previous, but we're not sure why for quite a lot of the book. This intrigued me immensely and certainly adds suspense to the story. I found Fergus' reaction to her return totally believable considering the manner in which she left and the fact that she had made no attempt to stay in touch for such a long time. I also found Flick's reaction to the fact that Fergus moved on very believable too. It's funny how some people can be so jealous of others moving on even when circumstances have given them little choice but to do so. It's human nature to want what we want, when we want it, but life is rarely that simple. However, I loved Flick's friendship with Esme and how she managed to change her outlook on life without even trying. Grief is complicated and none of us know how we would react in certain situations unless we have experienced them. Flick has obviously been consumed by her grief for a long time, but Esme opens her eyes to a more positive future. I know this all sounds quite vague, but you'll just have to read it for yourself to find out what I'm talking about! (If you haven't already).
I loved how her closest friends just welcomed Flick back without question (even though one of them wasn't going to make it too easy initially!). The best of friends are just like that. Time and distance makes no odds to true friendship.
I loved the setting and the inspiring community spirit shared amongst the residents of Heartcross.
I pretty much loved all of the characters to be honest.
I loved the whole things from start to finish and I am SO looking forward to catching up with them all again in the next book.
Many thanks to the author and publisher for my review copy via Netgalley.

With the snow gently falling and everyone snuggled around the fire, it is the perfect time to read some winter cozies and I have the perfect one for you today – Love Heart Lane by Christie Barlow.

Felicity “Flick” Simons is a bit fed up with her London retail job, more than a bit homesick for the Scottish highlands she has left behind and feeling like a loner in London despite being surrounded by throngs of people. When she receives the devastating news of her grandmother’s death, she decides that it is past time to travel home to Scotland for a few weeks no matter the reasons she left it all behind nearly a decade ago. However, her arrival home is anything except welcoming as she lands in her village in the middle of one of the worst snow storms in ages followed by a torrential rain storm that washes out the town’s bridge, cutting it off from the civilization and supplies that lie on the other side of the river. An avalanche of emotional and physical needs swarm Flick as she is forced to confront the loss of her grandmother, the closure of their family’s tea shop, the life and love she gave up so many years ago, the friends she once left behind and a village that must cope with a dwindling supply of food and coal. Can Felicity set aside her personal angst and lead her community forward? Will it be enough to save her tiny village?

Love Heart Lane is a wonderful book about community, resilience of the heart, friends and neighbors who rally together to help one another in a time of great need. While there is romance, and it is referenced often, this book is not a “rom-com” as it is billed. There is a lot of tragedy, death, and heartbreak, some of which is dealt with realistically and some of which is brushed over a little too easily – which can be somewhat expected in a cozy. However, what Love Heart Lane does have in abundance is hope and friendship and messages of second chances which, I like to believe, is something we all need to believe can be a reality for us all. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Love Heart Lane and recommend it for those who enjoy a heartwarming, cozy read. This is the first book in a series and I’m truly looking forward to the next so I can catch up with the delightful characters whom I’ve come to know and adore.

I’m grateful to @HarperImpulse, #Netgalley and #ChristieBarlow for my copy of Love Heart Lane available now.

Felicity Simons returns home to the Scottish Highlands after 8 years. Her departure was, in retrospect, very sudden and she burned a few bridges, to be honest. So it's not a wonder that her return, that was prompted by her beloved grandma's death, is not very welcome, especially by the one person that she cares about - and it's the person she's broken his heart. Felicity has a lot of fences to mend, especially with her friends, who couldn't understand why she didn't stay in touch with them. Being back, Felicity quickly realises that her hearts belong again to Heartcross. But will she be given a second chance?

There is a lot happening in Love Heart Lane for such a small place but I adored this village. The setting was beautifully idyllic but also dangerous, and so different. I've been reading the book at the same time when here, not far from where I live, there were incredibly heavy snowfalls, and the catastrophe alarm has already been introduced, so it was easy to imagine how Love Heart Lane looked like.

There is a whole cats of characters in the novel, and they are all lovely, warm and welcoming, probably sometimes too lovely, the small conflicts and misunderstandings weren't too twisty. But the author for sure knows how to bring them all to life, and she brilliantly described how easily they all pulled together at the time of crisis. And I really liked the gang, the way their friendship survived, the way how they were around each other.

It was an absolutely lovely, nice read guys, that started in such a brilliant way. I thought, yes, I'm really into something great. And it was still an absolutely lovely, nice read until we reached the moment with the bridge. As of this moment I couldn't stand Felicity. I know she was the main character but I had a feeling that every second word is either Felicity or Flick. Felicity this, Flick that. And of course Felicity was everywhere and she was able to do anything, starting with helping by the labour, through being chosen unanimously as a spokesperson for the village, finding Esme (of course!!!), finding herself in all the crucial moments in the right places and organizing everything smoothly and hassle - free. Well, I think I could take it but not the way she was crowding Fergus and his family - because it felt like this. I was wondering, hell, woman, who has given you the right to act like this? To decide over Fergus's will? To impose yourself? To not give him a choice? Those things simply annoyed me, spoiled the book for me and made me not to really care about the characters and what's going to happen. It was also impossible not to spot what was in the heart of the book: community, because it was also mentioned on every second page. I love books where the community feeling is so brilliantly overwhelming, where people support each other, but I also like to deduce it by myself, I don't need to have it all the time mentioned. But yes, I liked how close knit the villagers were and how the pub and the tea shop were the places to be, to meet and to enjoy the company.

So really, if it weren't for Felicity, I think I would totally adore this book. Shame. However, I am in minority here, guys, as all the other reviewers are RAVING about this book, so no matter what please do not feel put out by me and simply read this novel. It's light - hearted and fast - paced and if you're like this kind of read it'll give you the warm fuzzies. The narrative flows and it's very easy to read. And the cover is simply gorgeous! It deserves a standing ovation.

This is a sweet romance with charming characters and a unique setting. While fairly formulaic as most light romances are, the simple sweetness reels you in and holding your breath waiting for the characters to reach their happy ending.

I was so thrilled to be able to review the latest book from Christie Barlow and more than that, the first in a NEW series, set in the fictional Scottish village of Heartcross.

The book is set in a picturesque Winter wonderland, where the small rural village is home to an array of characters that all provide a strong cast, both for this story and for future books in the series. I always enjoy how Christie Barlow's signature is building an interesting community around her stories, weaving in feisty, fun and adorable characters in escapist settings.

Felicity (Flick) is returning to her family home, the cottage and village tearoom run by her Mum, after the death of her beloved Grandmother; yet all is not as perfect as she remembers it. On top of her grief and a series of shocks, Flick has to come face to face with her old friends, particularly her ex, who she chose to leave behind some years ago. Inevitably this brings difficult confrontations and proves you can't run away from your past forever.

At times honestly I was frustrated by Flick- she seems to act on impulse often without properly considering others in her choices, she can be obstinate, single-minded and lacked empathy on occasions which was vexing. This was an unusual experience for me in this genre as I usually find it easy to route for the protagonist. However, as the story developed you see that beneath these frustrating flaws she has good intentions and cares, she also has had a considerable amount of heartache that goes some way to explaining her defensive/clumsy approach under pressure.

There is much drama: snow, a village crisis, storms, and unexpected arrivals, plenty to keep you turning the pages and drawn in to the community. Because that is ultimately what this book is about, community, isolation, friendship and belonging; that you can always be a part of something much bigger if only you allow yourself to be vulnerable.

I truly enjoyed this book, such a lovely heartwarming story.
Felicity Simons, flees to London from the village of Heartcross after miscarriages resulting in her being unable to have a baby through no fault of her own. She is unable to cope and thinking that Fergus the boy she was destined to marry, grew up with and loved with all of her heart wanted the children she couldn't give him, felt it was her only way out. Little knowing that all Fergus wanted and cared about was her and their happiness.
Fast-forward 8 years later and after learning her beloved grandmother Bonnie had died decides to make the long journey back. When she arrives everywhere is covered in snow. She makes it into the village when a few days later a terrible snow storm hits the village, the bridge suddenly collapses leaving the village cut off from the outside world.
Fergus has not only got a little daughter Esme but is angry and hurt with Flick leaving him. Felicity has to win his trust back and also those of the childhood friends left behind. There is a lot of bridge building to be made both relationships, friendship and literal.
Delivering babies, pooling together food and feeding the villagers is only a small part of this story.
Much much more keeps you enthralled. With the unfolding of love and smiles.
Thank you, NetGalley for the chance to read this lovely book.

I chose to participate in today’s Book Tour because it sounded like such a sweet and sad story that I just wanted to know what happened!

Story overview
Felicity starts this story waiting to speak to her manager to get some time off just after the new year. Given that she works in a department store, this is when sales are rife and it's super busy.

Felicity's dreading having to ask for time off since the new management isn't people focused. Surprisingly, she manages to get time off, but only because her grandmother had just passed away.

Meanwhile, as the day continues we learn about her now ex-boyfriend. She's kicked him out of her apartment and is mentally preparing for the trip to her Scottish hometown of Heartcross.

While Felicity travels home she's wracked with heartache on account of Fergus, her childhood sweetheart. However, we don't have long to wait to see what kid of reception she gets from him. Since she unexpectedly runs into him within hours of getting home in the middle of a blizzard.

Their greeting is even colder than Felicity imagined it might be. But then again, she did run away more than 8 years previously. And this it the first time they are seeing each other since then.

My thoughts
At this point, reading about how cold Fergus is towards Felicity. It had me wondering what she could possibly have done to him that was so awful that he held onto his grudge that long. Throughout the book I was wracking my brain to try and figure it out. In response to my patience I was slowly drip fed the answers I was starving for. And boy was I surprised!

I was treated to a lot of heartache, quite a few arguments, tension between friends, a runaway child, disaster and a community spirit that left me emotionally exhausted. With an ending that felt like it really brought the story together.

At times you can reach the end of a story and it feels like the author has rushed a relationship, just to get the happily ever after. But this one didn't feel like that, which is great.

Instead, it felt like the natural progression of friendships that finished things off in the perfect way. Without being over the top JUST to get that happily every after. Because of this I'm super eager for the sequel Foxglove Farm to come out!

Love Heart Lane gave me the warm and fuzzies. What a cute story. There is a town to save, a man to love and a little girl to cherish.

Felicity Simons knows where she belongs. Her heart has always been in one place and belongs to one man, but when times got too tough she ran away. The future she saw was not the one she had planned. Felicity moves to London and left her small town in Scotland behind. Her cute cosy town was swapped for a flat in the big city. Her family tearoom job was exchanged for a department store. She’s dating a guy that isn’t the right one but at least she has her best friend Polly.

Felicity returns to her hometown in Scotland after her grandmother passes. It’s years later and the town has moved on without her. Felicity realised how much she’s missed home and everything that goes with it. She has some bridges to mend and some hearts to fill.

I really enjoyed this book. The whole town came to life. It was more than a second chance romance. It’s about acceptance and community. Felicity is a great leading lady and the town won me over. I really like Alfie’s character. He is misunderstood by Felicity and she never really saw who he was, but author Christie Barlow hints of his story.

This is my first story by this author and it won’t be my last. 5 out of 5. *I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This was a Netgalley read.

I'm absolutely over the moon to find a new series with all the ingredients you need to totally fall in love with the story and the characters. Love Heart Lane is such an idyllic setting, in the highlands of Scotland. Totally remote in snowstorms but with a wonderful community spirit when they need to pull together.

Felicity has returned after a long spell and we are left to wonder what happened between her and Fergus when they were younger. She feels a bit left out with all her old friends, but the lure of Love Heart Lane soon has her wanting to belong all over again.

She weaves her way into everyone's hearts again when she finds herself in charge of overcoming adversity when the snow starts to thaw.

A beautifully woven story that has me hoping the next book in the series is going to be released very soon..

Really enjoyed this book! I completely felt like I was part of the community of Heartcross from reading it. I loved the depth of the main male character Fergus and it was him that I really felt invested in. Felicity had her moments, but Fergus was the one I was really rooting for to have his happy ever after.

I loved the setting of the Scottish village and could clearly see it in my mind throughout the book.

If you're a fan of Debbie MacComber's novels, I think you will love this!

A wonderful new series by a favourite author!!!

Chick Lit at it's finest...I want to live in this book!

#HappyPublicationDay

This is a great beginning to a new series. It's a lightand cheery read about finding and keeping love, being part of a community and having great friends. If you like novels about small villages and the lives of the occupants , then thisbook is for you.

I received an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Flick Simons returns to Heartcross, a small village in the Scottish Highlands, when a winter storm sweeps the only bridge connecting them to the mainland. Flick not only reconnects to the residents of this village who come together in this dire situation, but also to the memories and the man she left behind.

This book is perfect for the winter season if you’re a seasonal reader. While blurbed as romantic comedy there is not much humor involved. The book deals with loss and picking up the pieces after experiencing heartbreak. The book reads like any other returning to home story where the Flick realizes what has been missing in her life once she returns home. I felt most of the obstacles were easily overcome, and while I realize this isn’t the focus of the story the resolutions felt a bit cheesy.

The romance takes a while to pick up since Fergus has grown more cautious since he has more than himself to think about. Flick was a difficult character to get into. On one hand, her circumstances are completely understandable and easy to emphasize with, but on the other hand, I found myself unable to root for her pursuit in romance as I found her personality to be a bit juvenile (jealous of the woman Fergus moved on with and quick to tears when Fergus rebuffs her). The build up made me think they would reconcile as friends than pick up where they left things.

If you enjoy stories of a community coming together, having the courage to face the past, a fight for your love story, and the presence of a cute child then feel free to pick up this title.

My rating: 3.5

I recieved this ARC via Netgalley and have given it my honest review.
A fantastic book to start off the series! The characters were a delight to meet, and Heartcross a village I would love to live in! There was drama, romance and an intriguing story line, from the moment I started reading it I didn't want to put it down. It is definitely a huge hug in a book on a cold winter's evening, the descriptions of characters and settings were beautiful and I could imagine the scenes. A well written book with true to life experiences within it, well done Christie Barlow I can not wait for the next one!

What's not to like? Village life, a love interest, a cute child and a major problem to overcome. When Felicity returns to her home village after eight years away she feels like an outsider, especially as her old love and her friends have all moved on in her absence. But when a bridge collapses, cutting them off, the village turns to Felicity to pull off a miracle. Of course there is a tea shop involved. There always is! An enjoyable easy read with more books about the same village and characters to come. I'm sure this book will touch hearts and sell well.

It's been ages since I read an entire book in a day and that's simply because a) I haven't had the time and b) there has been no book recently that has made me want to do this despite reading some very good books over the last few weeks. That all changed the minute I began reading the brand new book from Christie Barlow Love Heart Lane, from the first page I knew this book was going to be brilliant. Sometimes you just get this feeling from the word go that this is going to be a special read and that you will love everything about it and want to shout about it from the rooftops, this is that book for me and really it is Christie Barlow at her very best.

Not one fault could I find with this book and truly it was a story with such fantastic characters and a unique setting that really reminded me just why I love reading so much. I'm always such a stickler when it comes to rating a book and I don't give out four or five stars that easily. But here hands down Love Heart Lane is five stars all the way as between its pages there is a story that you will relish and become completely immersed in so much so that you dread any interruption whilst you are reading for fear you will have to put it down and tear yourself away from an engaging, interesting, emotive, marvellous and unputdownable read.

Felicity Simons has worked at Little Browns department store in London for the last eight years after arriving from Scotland on a whim. Her boyfriend now her ex, Adrian, has recently moved out of her apartment as they have come to the conclusion it was wrong him moving in six months ago. As Felicity sits in her bosses office, the dreaded Eleanor Ramsbottom, she knows she is at a new juncture in her life. She needs two weeks off so she can go back to Heartcross, a tiny village in the Scottish Highlands, as her beloved grandmother Bonnie Stewart has passed away. But it's not easy going back to a place where you left such heartbreak behind and literally fled but she owes it to her grandmother. Instantly my interest was piqued.

What made Felicity flee? Why hadn't she been back except for very brief visits where she engaged with no one except her mother Rona and her Gran? What could have happened to make her leave everything she knew on a whim especially as the further we delve into the book we discover just how special Heartcross is and of course the people who live there too. For Felicity this is a major step to go back but as it is only for a fortnight she feels she can do this and then escape back to the safety net she has created in London. She wants to avoid certain people especially a man named Fergus. Little does she realise what action and surprises Heartcross has in store for her and for the reader. Twists and turns aplenty which keep you hooked and keen to know how things will unfold.

Felicity arrives back to the village just as a snowstorm hits and the bridge to the village becomes dangerous to cross. For a little while the community, already isolated, will be cut off. But not to mind that just means that Felicity's not given the opportunity to run away at the first sign of confrontation. For that is really what needs to happen. She had been so embedded in the village, that to up and flee without a word to anyone especially considering what had happened left many people devastated, heartbroken and angry. Fergus springs to mind here and also her friend Allie who works in the pub with her parents. Isla, another friend, is more accepting of her coming home as she knows the trauma Felicity experienced. Yes the way she handled things was divisive and to run away was not the correct answer but it was all she could think to do at the time.

I thought it was brilliant that people who had been affected by Felicity's actions didn't at first welcome her with open arms. She had caused too much pain for that to happen and then she acted for eight years as if Heartcross nestled amongst mountains, glens and waterfalls didn't even exist. Felicity had to prove to people that she could and had changed and that was very realistic. I thought it would have been fake and too over the top for everybody to forgive her instantly because that doesn't happen in real life. We need to work at things, to seek forgiveness, acceptance and understanding for past actions before we can reconcile and come to terms with how we are in the present.

Of course I felt sympathy for Felicity, and as I guessed what had occurred, this only deepened but I could also understand Fergus' point of view as to why he wasn't willing to fully extend the hand of friendship given how damaging Felicty's actions had been. For someone that would have given the world to Felicity now he can barely make eye contact with her. Her guilt only deepens as she discovers Bonnie's Teashop, which she ran from the front room of her cottage, has been shut down and the dust left to gather. Rona couldn't keep it going when Bonnie was sick and now so many memories for Felicity are gone. She wonders why didn't her mum tell her how bad things were both financially and on a personal level? It's a stark wake up call for Felicity as she knows she now has many bridges to mend. Heartcross may offer comfort, belonging and a wonderful sense of community but will Felicity be welcomed back into the fold or has too much water flown under the bridge for her ever to find the happy place she once occupied there.

This was a woman who needed to work for what she wanted and needed back in her life and it wasn’t going to be easy. It sounds terrible to say but I enjoyed seeing Felicity having to work hard to find her place and to be big enough to say sorry and to explain the reasons behind her actions. It felt true to life as really it isn't all plain sailing. She really had been too caught up in her own little world and given Heartcross was so far away from London she pushed it and everyone there to the back of her mind because she believed she was the only one hurting but she wasn't. She felt she would cause too much damage if she stayed but really by leaving she caused a significant amount more. How can she rectify all this?

I loved how Felicity wasn't all perfect and that slowly but surely she admitted her faults and that she had made bad decisions and just maybe she did miss Heartcross and all it stands for. She had learnt to block out her sadness for many years but the feelings she once had are still there waiting to be reignite but she has an awful lot of work to do before she can be content in her own skin. She feels like an outsider and that she has lost her place and let's be honest about it, she had. Did she really expect to waltz back in as if nothing had changed and everything would be perfect and all rosy in the garden? She needed to work hard at mending fractured relationships in order to assume her place once again that's even if she wanted to stay. Can Heartcross work its magic or will a devastating event prove too much for all?

Said event proved a real turning point in the book and I loved how everyone came together as one to fight for what they believed in. The village may be small but at its centre it has a big heart and a sense of friendship and strength in the face of adversity. Might this be exactly what Felicity needed to show everyone that people can change and the very person she wants to prove this to is Fergus? A steep learning curve coupled with plenty of new life experiences is in store for Felicity as she attempts to face up to things. The transformation of Felicity was a joy to behold as she found strength, courage and her voice in the face of so much adversity. But one question remained can the person she hurt the most ever find it in their heart to forgive her?

Love Heart Lane blew me away as to how much I enjoyed it. At times I become jaded with some of the storylines in women's fiction as they become so routine and run of the mill but this was fresh, exciting, emotive and heartfelt and I devoured it. Christie Barlow has created a wonderful setting that you can visualise so easily in your head so much so that you feel as if you are right there experiencing everything the characters are going through. There is a superb cast of supporting characters, too many to mention here, but ones that I hope will be feature in future books. I say books because I fervently hope there will be more than one sequel to Love Heart Lane. I feel that this is a series that could potentially run and run as it provided both comfort and escape for me which is what I look for in a book but it was also so highly readable and one that deserves to be consumed in one go. Foxglove Farm will be book two in the series and I am already impatiently awaiting its release. Please Christie Barlow write it as quickly as you can, I just can't get enough of Heartcross and want more more more as soon as possible.
