Loved it, would be great to continue into a part 2 with more of the farm house maybe renovations? and the art gallery

A fairly undemanding and pleasant read set around the rural community of Hartfell in the Yorkshire Dales.

The attractive cover romantically depicts a bucolic rural scene. When Pippa Douglas arrives at Home Farm with instructions to sell the property for her father, she finds dilapidated and outdated buildings requiring more than TLC and a coat of white paint. Another surprise is the sitting tenant, Gil.

A slow start depicting Pippa as an uptight, controlling snob, overly protective of her teenage daughter, Harriet. Pippa doesn't come over very well, to her, animals and the country, are smelly and dirty. She requires everything hygienically clean and orderly and, where her daughter is concerned, imagines danger everywhere.

The book improved during the second half becoming a bit 'James Herriot', the romance developed into mostly side glances between Pippa and Gil. The last part of the book was much better, it seems that you can get used to mud, farmyard smells and even wayward animals with a hot vet around.

3.5 A story about second chances, best of all was the scenery.

With thanks to Canelo and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book, this review is my personal, unbiased opinion.

Yet another good read from Suzanne Snow. The lead character arrives in a run down farm to sort out some unknown business for her father. Enter a range of additional character which cause her a headache. The story goes on with everything sorting itself out and a focus on family and romance. Well worth reading.

Pippa's rock star father asks her to go to the village of Harfell to get a house ready to sell. She and her daughter arrive to find the house has a local vet living there.

Very slow to get to the actual romance-y bit of the story, but it was a nice story itself with history and plenty of characters that had interesting relationships and characteristics.

It was frustrating to see Pippa get annoyed at almost everything sometimes, especially when it came to Harriet. I understand that she is a mother but the whole safeguarding is a bit insane.

Overall, this was a book with a decent flowing story. It was easy to follow and the characters were memorable. However, the enemies to lover was very out of nowhere in my opinion. Of course, it was obvious it was coming but the sudden change from hating each other and yelling at one another to "we are in love!!!" was not great.

I fell in love with Suzanne last book but this one, well, it just doesn't have the same magic as the previous one. Pippa is bitter towards her dad, her aging rock star and needs to grow a pair. A twisty typical teenager whose life is all about Wi-Fi been forced to sort out a rental. property.

Sorry but this is a miss for me.

This was such a sweet and moving story! I absolutely loved it! Ms. Snow has definitely found a new fan! A hilarious, heartwarming and soul grounding must read!!

Pippa is the glue that holds her family together sinner mother died she’s been there for them all including her aging rocker father Jonny Jones. When her dad asks her to sort out a house he owns in Hartfell she packs herself and her daughter off without question as she always does.
Surprisingly she finds the village holds more about her family history than she ever knew also the house comes with a sitting Tennant Gil the local vet.
Brilliantly written as expected from Suzanne Snow and hoping for further visits to the Hartfell village .
Fantastic read.

I was so pleased to read this book for. Review on NetGalley. I have read all Suzanne’s books and loved them. Took me a few chapters to get into this one but when I did,I didn’t want to put it down. Loved the setting in the country and on a farm. So many great characters too. Pippa and her daughter Harriet are up from London at the instruction of her father who owns the farm. Gil runs the vets practice which is on the farm and was his family home when his gran was alive. Pippa’s dad is a rock star who is travelling the world on a tour,she has siblings who are scattered around the world too. Her being the oldest,they all turn to her and expect her to be available for them. Pippa and Gil don’t get off to a good start but you can see there are sparks there. Gil has tenancy rights to stay in the house but he moves in to an old dilapidated caravan which he puts in the yard. Harriet,who is 14 doesn’t want to be at the farm but she loves animals and gets a job helping at Gil’s aunt Dorothy’s animal shelter as well as a pony on the farm which she looks after. Pippa and Harriet ingratiate themself’s into village life. Harriet meets Alfie and they spend lots of time together. There are comings and goings between Pippa And Gil but you must read it to find out how things all pan out but I can’t wait for the next instalment.

This book is all about balance between family, self, responsibility and desire; and it’s done with warmth, wit, and just the right amount of charm. If you’re in the mood for a story about second chances, love, and finding your place in the world, then this book is your perfect escape.

A mum struggling with her teenage daughter, thrown into an old farmhouse in Yorkshire. Add in a gorgeous grumpy vet. What could possibly go wrong. Brilliant characters, chemistry and scenery. A wonderful book.

Pippa is asked by her rock star dad to go sort one of his houses to sell, she doesnt bank on there being someone living there.
Gil lived in the house were his grandma lived and it still looks the same.
He runs a vets practice in the buildings at the back of the house and is well known with the local farmers.
sparks start to fly but neither of them wants to act on them as Pippa will be going back to London soon.

Hmmm, it took me a while to get into this book. The enemy-to-lovers theme was a bit much, they were almost yelling at each other. But hey, there were alpaca's, so I am good :)

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the book.

A lovely story. You have a teenager, a meddling famous father , a gorgeous vet, a family farm , a slow burn love story. Pippa was the main character and her siblings just relied on and it was lovely how she got stronger. A great ending. Read it .

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this book!!

What a great book! I really enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down. The author has such a good writing style. This was a first for me by this author but will not be my last! I enjoyed the characters. They had good chemistry.

It took a little bit to get into this story, but once I did I really enjoyed it. Pippa and Hannah are fun characters and the location in Yorkshire Dales is really beautiful. There were some moments that were only okay, but overall I really enjoyed the read.

Beautiful romantic heartfelt read:. I loved the veteran aspect as my father was a veteran. I highly recommend this book to someone looking for a light escapist read.
