I recently had the pleasure of reading a truly exceptional literary work that has left an indelible mark on my mind. This masterpiece is a testament to the author's skillful storytelling, weaving a narrative that is both captivating and thought-provoking.

From the opening pages, I was drawn into a world that was both familiar and yet, utterly unique. The author's use of language is masterful, painting vivid pictures with words that transported me to a realm that was both fantastical and grounded in reality. The characters that inhabit this world are multidimensional and relatable, with complexities that make them feel like old friends.

One of the standout aspects of this book is its ability to tackle complex themes and ideas with nuance and sensitivity. The author tackles difficult subjects with a deft hand, never shying away from the tough questions, but instead, presenting them in a way that is both accessible and thought-provoking.

The pacing of the book is expertly managed, with a narrative that flows effortlessly from one chapter to the next. The author's use of plot twists and surprises kept me on the edge of my seat, eager to discover what would happen next.

What truly sets this book apart, however, is its ability to evoke emotions. I found myself laughing, crying, and cheering alongside the characters, invested in their journeys and outcomes. The author's writing is evocative, conjuring up feelings and sensations that linger long after the final page is turned.

In short, this book is a triumph. It is a must-read for anyone who loves literature, and a testament to the power of storytelling to transport, educate, and inspire. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable reading experience.

There’s a lot to love about this one. The charming country setting, the fish-out-of-water trope, the colorful secondary characters, and a grumpy hero with a heart of gold. And the meet-cute? One of the best I’ve ever read, and it had me laughing out loud.

‘Felicity DeVere is having a not good, horrible, very bad day that goes from worse to catastrophic. After getting dumped by her fiancé, selling her London flat and buying a “fixer upper" farm (there was wine involved – lots of wine) she finds herself in unfamiliar territory. Not only is the farm house a dump, a raging storm flattens her roof with a big tree, and the one room she had begun renovating is ruined.

Fortunately her neighbor, Jesse Woods, comes to the rescue. He takes Fliss to his home for the night and then sets about calling in favors to get her house fixed. The only problem? Fliss does not need or want rescuing.

I’m all for a strong, independent woman with walls a mile wide. It makes for some entertaining interplay and has the potential for a lot of growth. Unfortunately, while Fliss had a soft heart, we only caught glimpses of it, and rarely with Jesse. I saw little growth in her character. Conflict that might have helped her grow was twisted back on Jesse, who seemed to be at fault no mater the situation.

While this has a lot of parts that are entertaining and has great potential, there is little give and take or compromise that is vital to healthy interpersonal relationships. I loved the secondary characters but couldn’t get past Felicity's prickliness and lack of development.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Felicity life is spinning out of control. She makes the decision to move to 5ge country. I liked this book.

After losing her job in a moment of regret following her ex-fiancé's picture-perfect wedding, Fliss finds herself unexpectedly inheriting a fixer-upper in the countryside. The bright spot in her new life? Jesse Woods, the charming and ever-helpful local. When a tree crashes through her roof, Fliss reluctantly accepts Jesse's help—and a place to stay. Though wary of trusting men again, Jesse just might be the one to change her mind.

The chemistry between Fliss and Jesse was adorable—predictable, yes, but that’s exactly what I love in a good chick lit! While the storyline was lighthearted and filled with fun side characters and a hilarious meet-cute, it also had some emotional depth. Fliss’s backstory, her guardedness, and Jesse’s past all added layers that brought a few tears to my eyes. It wasn’t all smooth sailing for them, with a few bumps along the way, but it made for an enjoyable, quick read that I finished in just a few days.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the copy!

A very authentic and enjoyable story from Morrey. I liked the characters and how they come together despite mishaps along the way. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Great book. Realistic characters and plot. I was Hooked by the description and never stopped being engaged in the story. .
