Sometimes you have to let your heart rule your head . . .

Cherry, Maggie and Rose are mother, daughter and granddaughter, each with their own hopes, dreams and even sorrows. They have always been close, so when, in a moment of impulse, Cherry buys a gorgeous but rundown pub in the village she grew up in, it soon becomes a family affair.

All three women uproot themselves and move to Rushbrook, deep in the heart of Somerset, to take over The Swan and restore it to its former glory. Cherry is at the helm, Maggie is in charge of the kitchen, and Rose tends the picturesque garden that leads down to the river.

Before long, the locals are delighted to find the beating heart of the village is back, bringing all kinds of surprises through the door.

Could Cherry's impulse purchase change all their lives - and bring everyone the happiness they're searching for?

Escape to the glorious Somerset countryside with this joyful and uplifting story of family, love and hope.

I know I'm rather partial to an occasional impulse purchase, but I have to say I've never bought a pub on an impulse.

And while most people could also say that, Cherry can't as it is her impulsiveness to buy a pub in her home village that really kick starts this book. 

And I loved how it was three generation of women taking over the pub, Cherry who is going through a blip with Mike, Maggie, her daughter who is still grieving the loss of her husband, Rose, the granddaughter who is suffering from anxiety and in addition Rose's daughter who is adorable but too young to have a role in the pub. 

I loved the chapters from their points of view, in addition to an occasional other chapter from Chloe and a few others. 

These are strong independent women who are working together to create a real community pub, and I loved seeing how their lives all change as a result of it. 

I felt as though I was there in Rushbrook alongside the women, and at the pub itself. I really enjoyed every moment of this book, and would love to return to this setting in the future. 

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