There are some things in this world that are guaranteed, and one of them is that Jill Mansell writes great books. This is another to add to her extensive list. The characters (and there are lots) are different enough for you to keep track of & are mostly likeable. An easy, enjoyable read for any time of the year.

I’ve always been a fan of Jill Mansell’s novels, and this one certainly didn’t disappoint!

The story begins with Nella and Nick crossing paths at the start of Nella’s short trip to the Cotswolds, after an unfortunate incident that lands her in A&E. Nick's charm and humor help lift her spirits, and he even ensures she gets back home safely to Manchester.

Shortly after, Nella loses her job, but a surprising opportunity presents itself—working for Nick. Now, the real challenge begins: trying not to fall for her new boss!

We are also introduced to Lizzie, a famous actor from LA, who books a retreat in the Cotswolds and quickly takes a liking to Nick.

With a wonderful cast of characters, the various storylines weave together beautifully, creating the perfect mix of drama and romance. Initially, I worried that there were too many characters and subplots, as I was eager to find out what would happen between Nick and Nella. But as the story progressed, I found myself rooting for each character and invested in their individual journeys.

This was such an enjoyable read that I devoured far too quickly!

Thank you, NetGalley, for the opportunity to read this!
