Happily Ever After by Jane Lovering #Review

  I am delighted to feature Jane Lovering's Happily Ever After  which was published by Boldwood Books on February 17th.   Andi Glover loves nothing more than a good book. Any book in fact because when you’re raised by unconventional parents who think school’s for squares, alongside a deeply conventional sister who escapes home as soon as she can, fiction is eminently preferable to reality. The only problem is that fiction isn’t the best way to learn about the real world. When Andi starts her new live-in job at Templewood Hall for the eccentric Lady Dawe and her enigmatic son Hugo, it’s tempting to think she’s fallen into the pages of one of her favourite gothic novels. But the plot twists at Templewood Hall are stranger than fiction and it’s not long before Andi questions if she’s living in a romance novel or a whodunnit. Bumps in the night, a missing heir, ghostly apparitions and secrets that have been kept for generations - the mysteries mount up. Then there...

Primrose Park by Christie Barlow #Review

 

It is always a lovely day when we visit Love Heart Lane for another in the series and today we are headed to Primrose Park. It can be read as a standalone. You can read my review of more in the series here: Love Heart Lane, Foxglove Farm, Clover Cottage , The Lake House.

Vet Molly has always been career driven and focussed on caring for her animals, but when she meets a gorgeous Mystery Man at a conference and their connection is off the charts, well, one night off work won’t hurt anyone...except the next morning he’s vanished and all Molly knows about him is his first name.Three months later, back in Love Heart Lane, everyone loves the storyof Molly's amazing one-night stand.It's so unlike her! But when Mystery Man turns up walking his dog through Primrose Park and their night together seems to mean nothing to him, Molly needs her friends and neighbours more than ever. And especially when she’s left with the most unexpected of surprises...

My Thoughts

Visits to  Heartcross always deliver us up a great story and Primrose Park is no exception. Family and friendship are at the centre once more and as well as catching up with familiar characters, there are new ones centre stage. Molly and Cam have great chemistry from the beginning so it was no surprise when their paths crossed again. 

    Molly fits in beautifully alongside the others we have come to know. She is independent and determined to succeed but also kindhearted. Being a vet, she is able to stand on her own two feet and you find out that although she is alone, family does mean a lot to her. Cam seems a little harder to read at first. The feisty character of his grandmother, Dixie adds humour as of course does her four-legged friend, Darling. The setting is as gorgeous and welcoming as ever. With some great characters and bags of heart, this is another lovely read. 

In short: romance blooms in Primrose Park
