De: Linn B. Halton

Narrado por: Emma Powell

From the bestselling author of Christmas at The Highland Flower Shop writing as Lucy Coleman, comes a brand new series set in a Cornish Farmhouse.

When Jess Newman married the love of her life Ben she was sure they had what it took to stay together forever. So when Ben falls out of love with her only to promptly fall in the arms of new girlfriend, Naomi, she really doesn't know how to come to terms with their divorce.

Thankfully Jess's granddad, Gabe, has the perfect place for Jess and her eight-year-old daughter Lola to start afresh when he hands them the keys to his holiday home in Cornwall, a beautiful albeit rundown farmhouse–the fresh countryside air, the saffron buns and the seaside breeze might just be what the doctor ordered but soon it's clear this fresh start includes a whole new set of complications...

Heartfelt warming story

Enjoyed this book very much. Light hearted and fun read. Loved the renovation aspect with love story.

Heart warming.

It’s a lovely story with a lovely voice….Soft and gentle, heartbreak and new beginnings, strengthening old relationships while braving through new ones, including one with self.

Wholesome Romance

It’s a combo of Escape to the Chateau, meets Cornwall romance. It’s charming and sweet and a quick feel good listen.

Unable to download/play

I was able to listen to the first chapter, but the rest will not play or download

Slow paced and narrator put me to sleep

The narrator has a flat whispering voice which made it hard to follow the story. The story was also slow paced. I gave up after an hour.

Restoring a property while restoring a life. No romance here.

This is not a romance. It will be disappointing if that is what you want. Even the moments when the characters “get together “ are irrelevant and businesslike. I don’t mean sex scenes but there is nothing romantic about it. She propositions him at the same time with offering him a job.

It is a story of a woman putting her life back together while restoring and repurposing a property she inherited, after her husband left her.

It is the kind of book with a lot of descriptions that don’t contribute to the storyline, a lot of secondary characters and a long, rather boring road before reaching the expected conclusion. No surprises, no twists. Little drama.

The narration is okay, there is no voice difference between characters, which makes it difficult to tell who is talking, sometimes. Not monotonous but not diverse enough.
