Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. This was just what the doctor ordered whilst I was off work feeling a bit under the weather. Great storyline, great characters. Loved it.

This book made me dream of the warmer weather and being outside more with the sun on your face. Emma's story is a relatable one whatever age you are. She thinks she is happy, she isn't tied down to any one, she has a good job, but she is missing something. When her dad becomes unwell, she decides to go and spend time with him in the Village she grew up in. Can she find the missing part she desperately needs? there is a whole load of romance, cakes and a Village community coming together. Will Emma get her happy ever after? I really enjoyed reading Emma's story, it is heartfelt and uplifting when we all need a bit of escapism.

A lovely heart warming easy read. It has moments of self reflection and poignancy, but on the whole is a story of love, family and friendship. It was lovely to have a cast of older characters and to see life though the eyes of a different generation. Normally it is the late 20/early 30 characters who are falling in love and so to have the late 40s/early 50s made a pleasant change.

If you like village life, family, friends, re-kindled love and dogs ten this is the book for you. Settle in a cosy chair open the book and the hours will whizz by in a friendly and worthwhile way. I will now look up the next book in the series, if there is one.

A wonderful feel good book, a story of Emma who returns to her old village to look after her elderly father and the ghosts of the past catch up with her
Returning not only helps her dad it also helps put her life in perspective and she finally decides she wants to stay permanently,can all that has happened with an old love Connor be put to rights?
A light and easy book to read with some giggles included
