Pippa moves from the city to a small town for a new beginning to start up her own B&B. With ups and downs along the way, the reader goes on her adventures with her.
An enjoyable read with a variety of characters.

I loved this book, there was such a mix of heart warming moments and poignancy throughout, very beautiful read.

While this is a sweet and cosy romance about a young woman escaping the city to start a new life in the country, it isn’t afraid to tackle some painful themes. I found this quite a poignant read at times, with Jenny’s difficult situation as she tries to run a business whilst caring for her husband who has dementia. The authors made it easy to feel empathy for her, even though I often disliked the things she did.
Jake is a suitably hunky hero, but I did feel a little impatient with him at times.
There were plenty of charming side characters and this is a lovely escapist autumnal read about rivalry, community and being brave enough to start again.

I got an ARC of this and it was a pretty roughly edited version.

It was a cute story, it got good at about 65-70% in and the last 30% or so I didn’t want to put it down.

Mostly a rivalry story with a little romance. I enjoyed it even if it was a little slow to start.

Thank you Netgalley for the advanced copy

a cute cozy book, perfect for autumn season that's coming up... but nothing new i've never read before.
just ok

This is a cozy small town story, very Hallmark, so good if you're into that! I think it was a bit unrealistic, but sweet. The characters are enjoyable and the writing was good, it is pretty predicatable but it was a good story

Pippa has had a difficult year. Her mother died and her boyfriend cheated on her, She decides to upend her life and move to the little village that her mother grew up in. Pippa knows nought about the village. Her mother kept her past locked up but Pippa would love to find people who knew her mother, hoping it would ease the loss of her mother. She buys a cottage and renovates it to a bed and breakfast. Most of the town is very welcoming, but one person is downright rude. Jenni Foster is the owner of the other bed and breakfast in town. She is dealing with her husband who has Alzheimer's, a bed and breakfast that needs renovating and fearing the loss of customers to Pippa. A sweet novel with likable characters, it is filled with warmth. Thank you to NetGalley and Allison & Busby Publishers for the complimentary digital ARC. This review is my own opinion.

Funny and heartwarming! I loved this small town setting! A really good cosy read perfect for an autumn afternoon! Thoroughly enjoyable!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my ARC

Pippa buys a rundown cottage in Riverdean where she plans to turn it into a b&b. There's more needs done to the cottage than she thought but is steadily opening up rooms and having guests to stay. She meets Jake who she she is attracted to. There's also another b&b run by Jenny who doesn't take kindly to Pippa opening hers
