My Thoughts
In this final instalment in the series, you get to see how Holly's life has evolved since Evan's tragic death. She been supported as ever, by her friends and family, none more so than by Giles who she regards as her closest friend in many ways. When Giles has some surprising news for her, her sense of reality takes a jolt and she spends the rest of the story coming to terms with her emotions and wishes for the future.
By the end of the story, you feel that Holy's life in the Cotswolds has reached a stable plain and that she will continue to thrive and to prosper. Before she gets to that stage, Holly tries to protect her life from more heartbreak. Her daughter is growing up a little but she has plenty to occupy her and some great plans for the business. With a gorgeous setting and a range of characters, you find humour and romance side by side in this gentle story.
In short: Friends and lovers
