Morgan goes home to help her ailing mother. Her boyfriend moves to Scotland, per their plans, and waits for her to come. After her mother dies, early on, she and her sister prepare her mother’s cottage for sale…oops! Nate appears…friendship and more…the characters are likable and quirky. The setting is glorious. The story moves quickly. This is a great read that would make a fantastic movie. This is a sweet book of love and romance. This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher and the author.

Morgan Reese had moved to Little Woodville in the Cotswolds hoping to be with her ailing mom for a few weeks in their cottage called— Forget-Me-Not—but ended up staying for seven months.

After her mother passed away she starts planning on returning to Scotland to be with her fiancé Ronan.

Morgan’s mother had moved to Little Woodville when her marriage ended and Morgan and her sister Tegan were already teenagers.

Nate Greene was visiting Little Woodville from Wales and was looking forward to spending the weekend with his dad Trevor.


Following a chance encounter between Nate Morgan in the village, and learning they both went to the same school, they get to know each other better.

A feel-good romance novel filled with warm characters and beautiful descriptions of the village.

Thank you to Helen Rolfe, NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the arc of this book.
