I am happy to feature Liz Davies' latest novel on the blog today: The Cottage on Wildflower Lane.
Esther's life isn’t perfect (whose is?) – but she’s happy
enough living in her little flat with her boyfriend, Josh.
But that’s about to change.
Bored out of her mind in work, she wishes that something,
anything, would happen to liven her life up.
Unfortunately, her wish comes true when Josh calls her from
the airport to tell her he’s going to work in a bar in Spain, and she’s not
invited, Esther is devastated, and her unhappiness is compounded when she discovers
she can actually view the bar via a webcam link and watch him chatting up other
girls.
But when she inadvertently clicks on a link to another
webcam which shows a pretty cottage and the rather hunky man who lives in it,
her interest is piqued and she wishes she could get to know him.
Wishes don’t really come true, though – do they...?
My Thoughts
Although the book is named after the Cottage on Wildflower Lane, most of the action takes place elsewhere. Nevertheless, the cottage does play a very important part in the story. I enjoyed meeting the two central characters, Esther and Kit who are both nursing a broken heart. There are plenty of coincidental meetings which you have to accept but despite that, the whole story hangs together in a very satisfactory way.
This is really a romantic tale of two souls meeting and I loved the similarities between them. They are people with faults and impulses but in the end, you know how you want their story to end. This a great feelgood story which beckons you in and which you just know that it would be heaven to sit in that beautiful garden.
In short: rural romance flourishes despire the modern world.
About the Author
Liz Davies writes feel-good,
light-hearted stories with a hefty dose of romance, a smattering of humour, and
a great deal of love.
She’s married to her best friend, has
one grown-up daughter, and when she isn’t scribbling away in the notepad she
carries with her everywhere (just in case inspiration strikes), you’ll find her
searching for that perfect pair of shoes. She loves to cook but isn’t very good
at it, and loves to eat - she’s much better at that! Liz also enjoys walking
(preferably on the flat), cycling (also on the flat), and lots of sitting
around in the garden on warm, sunny days.
She currently lives with her family in
Wales, but would ideally love to buy a camper can and travel the world in it.
