loved one man – the very gorgeous Bear Brookfield. Ever since they were
children she’s dreamed of marrying him under the green canopy of Wishing
Wood. But when a teenage kiss that held such promise was followed by a
series of misunderstandings, Meadow lost all hope of a future with Bear.
Years later, Meadow and Bear remain best friends, despite Meadow
marrying and divorcing Bear’s brother Heath. Yet she’s sure there’s no
chance they’ll be anything more.
What Meadow doesn’t know is that
Bear has only ever loved one woman too. He was heartbroken when Meadow
married Heath, certain she chose his brother over him. But there’s more
to Meadow and Heath’s marriage than anyone knows...
With both
Meadow and Bear convinced they can only ever be friends they set one
another a dating challenge – will they meet their perfect match online,
as Bear thinks, or in person at a dating event, like Meadow believes? Or
will they finally discover that their soul mate has been right there in
front of them, secretly loving them, all along?
Once
you’ve arrived in Wishing Wood you’ll never want to leave! Treat
yourself to a summer of love with this feel-good, heartwarming and
deliciously romantic tale. Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Jill
Mansell and Sue Moorcroft.
My Thoughts
This series seems to be going from strength to strength. The chemistry between Bear and Meadow is clear from the start and when they both enrol onto online dating, you have a feeling you know how this could pan out! I thoroughly enjoyed all the different activities the dating group took them on. Knowing each other so well, their dialogue adds some wit to the situation as they verbally spar with each other.
The setting is as gorgeous as ever and provides a great backdrop to the lives of these friends and family. It is good to catch up with other characterd from the first book and to watch Star beginning to grow up a little. There is a magical feel to the story which makes it truly escapist and a lovely summer read. Do try it!
In short: Is love blind?
About the Author
Holly lives in a little white cottage by the sea. She
studied media at university which led to a very glitzy career as a hotel
receptionist followed by a even more glamorous two years working in a bank. The
moment that one of her colleagues received the much coveted carriage clock for
fifteen years’ service was the moment when she knew she had to escape. She quit
her job and returned to university to train to be a teacher. Three years later,
she emerged wide eyed and terrified that she now had responsibility for the
development of thirty young minds. She taught for four years and then escaped
the classroom to teach history workshops, dressing up as a Viking one day and
an Egyptian High Priestess the next. But the long journeys around the UK and
many hours sat on the M25 gave her a lot of time to plan out her stories and
she now writes full time, doing what she loves.
Holly has been writing for 8 years. She was shortlisted for
the New Talent Award at the Festival of Romance. Her short story won the
Sunlounger competition and was published in the Sunlounger anthology. She won

bestselling author of 18 books.
