I am so happy to be on the tour to celebrate the second in Christie Barlow's Love Heart Lane series, Foxglove Farm. It can be read as a standalone. You can read my review of the first in the series, Love Heart Lane, here.
Return to Love Heart Lane for friendship, romance and a
community who will be be there for you no matter what…
Isla and Drew Allaway appear to have the perfect life – a
strong marriage, two beautiful children and their picture-perfect home,
Foxglove Farm.
But, new mum Isla is struggling. She loves her little family but with Drew
working all hours on the farm, Isla’s lonely.
When she discovers that Drew has been keeping secrets from
her, Isla has to face losing the home they all love.
Can the Love Heart Lane community pull together once more to
help save Foxglove Farm? And can Isla
save her home…and her marriage?
My Thoughts
The community at Love Heart Lane welcomes you back in this feelgood story. It is lovely to meet up with the characters again and to find out more about Isla and Drew's life. It takes time to get to the reason behind their arguments and along the way there are some obstacles to overcome. Behind the story you realise that there are some serious issues to deal with. The story may have a cosy feel but some parts of life are difficult and can't be avoided.
There are also some humorous touches throughout the story. The characters are all well drawn and relatable and you get to see how the generations relate to each other. Isla's relationship with her grandmother may have its ups and downs but you get a real sense of family and belonging as well.
In short: A story to delight the reader.
