Charming, cosy, realistic romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. Felicity and Jesse are great leads and I really loved the slow burn friendship and eventual romance between them, The mistakes that Felicity makes are so honest and hilarious, I couldn’t help but feel for her. Jesse is such a gent, with a heart of gold. I hope there’s more from this series.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this.

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. .
