review 1: Oh, what a shame I've finished this. A brilliantly written short story with warm-hearted, really appealing characters - especially Grizzie the dog! It made me feel I wanted a little house just like the one up a Scottish mountain, belonging to well-known author, Rory. The setting ...

review 1: Perhaps this isn't the best offering from Katie Fforde, but it was still a fun read. I've been a fan for years, and recently re-read almost all of her books. I did find this one uneven - not enough about the antiques business to make me feel connected to the story - and a sort ...

review 1: I expected something in Sophie's character will change (that she will realize she is being used and she will try to make a good of herself). But the book is solely describing how lucky she gets to find herself in a new life (and also because she is such a nice plain girl). At som...

review 1: This is my third Katie Fforde book, and I picked it specifically because I thought the plot sounded romantic... and it was in its way, and I enjoyed it in the way I think I was supposed to; a quick, light, entertaining read. There were many out loud chuckling moments and I liked ...

review 1: This book was lent to me by a friend but it's one I would have picked up in a shop because I love the cover. The story had such potential with Gina and her sister, Sally inheriting an antique stall from their aunt. The antique centre is run by Matthew who is struggling to keep th...

review 1: This was a highly anticipated book for myself. I really enjoyed it. I loved the secondary story lines and wanted a bit more of that.I don't know if I agree with some of Bella's actions and at times I found her to be a bit of a scaredy cat. I wanted to yell at her to stop being su...

review 1: First time I've ever reviewed a book on here. This book was suggested to me by a friend so I gave it an honest go, but it was one of the worst books I've ever read. The plot was so obvious and unrealistic. The heroine Laura willingly misconstrued every interaction she had with he...

review 1: I had to stop. The heroine is an idiot. Her roommate is also her competitor in a cooking competition. She is ruthless, determined to win, a good actor, and deliberately sabotages her. So instead of doing the logical thing such as, oh, getting a different room or roommate, no s...
