Clare Greene and Sam Wilson are getting married and everyone in Little Bramble is excited for the event of the year. But Clare and Sam are busy people and have left organising their wedding to the last minute.

Luckily, wedding planner Hazel Campbell has recently moved to the village. She had what she thought was a wonderful life in Edinburgh with a successful business, a loving fiance and her own wedding coming up. But when she caught her groom-to-be in bed with her best friend she fled, leaving everyone and everything behind.

Little Bramble seems like the ideal place for Hazel to start over. As she throws herself into planning the perfect country village winter wedding, she starts to find herself again. And soon she realises that a second chance at happiness might just be on the cards . . .

Escape to Little Bramble with the rest of The Country Village Series - The Country Village Christmas Show and The Country Village Summer Fete, available now, and The Country Village Allotment, coming in Spring 2022.

It was truly lovely to be back in Little Bramble again and to be able to catch up with Clare and Sam, who are struggling to plan their wedding. 

Thankfully Hazel our leading lady of this book has just moved to Little Bramble and is setting up as a Wedding Planner and attempts to come to the rescue.  She is also sworn off men after discovering the truth about her fiancee the night before her own wedding, and isn't really sure where she can trust women either. 

And as much as I enjoyed the focus on Hazel it was the alternating chapters where we get to know Josh in great detail that I couldn't get enough of. 

I was hooked on seeing how his story would evolve, plus I loved the rest of his family especially Bobbie. They just seemed like a fabulous family to be a part of. 

And Kyle, Clare's son is utterly fabulous too, I loved some of his one liners, his teasing banter and generally the energy he brought to any scene. 

This is such a heat warming and cosy read, bringing with it the best elements of Christmas and Weddings into one compelling package of  book.  I loved it! 

Thank you to Zaffre and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
