Average rating4
"Sian Bishop's one moment of recklessness - ever, resulted in her wonderful, beloved son Rory. Since then, she's always taken the safer route. So when dependable, devoted Richard suggests a move to the English countryside, she leaves the city behind. She throws herself into the cottage garden, her furniture restoration business, and life in the country. However, her good intentions are torpedoed with the arrival of Gus Berresford. A full-time heartbreaker, Gus is ridiculously exciting and a completely inappropriate love interest for a single mum. But she and Gus have met before... Sian simply mustn't fall in love with the most unlikely suitor ever to cross her path - even if he's now crossed her path twice. But who knows what can happen in a summer of love...?" --Publisher description.

It was not bad at all. I actually enjoy the British writing and the twirls that come with it, and the characters were really sweet, even with the occasional weird tantrum. But the whole thing left me with a ‘meh' feeling that teased me to skip chapters to finish soon. I didn't ‘cos I'm a two goody shoes, but I wanted to.
I received this book through netgalley in exchange for a honest review
This was an incredibly charming book.
Usually, only fantasy books capture my attention but, I make myself read outside of the genre occasionally and this book was the one I picked to freshen my palette. I'm always apprehensive about chick lit books and I was hesitant to start.
Truly, the beginning was pretty ordinary but, at about 20% into the book I was pretty hooked!
I won't go as far as to say this is a favorite book of mine but, probably one of my favorite chick lit books.
The characters were so well rounded and I loved all of them... except Melissa...she's the only one! How dense or mean can a person really be??
The romance was meh. It was there but, I didn't think there was much progression. There is a bit of a love triangle but, if this is a concern for you I wouldn't worry too much. It is set up as a love triangle but, it is more of the classic questions ‘Love or Money?' or ‘Security or Uncertainty?' that kind of triangle.
Really enjoyed reading this book and I'm looking forward to reading more of this author's books in the future!
I recommend this book to people who like little English village settings and/or charming chick lit novels that warm the heart and put a smile on your face.
