Love Heart Lane – where friends are there for you no matter what

When Bea Fernsby discovers her fiancé’s eyes have been wandering, she calls off the wedding and hits the road. The village of Heartcross in the Scottish Highlands is about as far away from home as she can get, and when she stumbles into the ideal summer job at The Little Blue Boathouse and meets gorgeous vacationer Nolan Hemingway, things finally start looking up.

Now, as an old mystery surfaces and Bea and Nolan band together to find out what happened to his late grandfather’s one true love, fate throws Bea some unexpected curveballs…and promising opportunities.

Bea’s stay is only supposed to last a couple of weeks, but as the old saying goes: ‘Once you arrive in Heartcross, you never want to leave…’

It is always a treat to be back in Heartcross, and I felt right at home from the moment that Bea had her first sight of the village. 

As a massive fan of the series let me just say how nice it is to catch up with many old friends and in once instance, discover the truth about something that we have perhaps been wondering about for a good few books. 

However this can easily be read as a standalone, and  I fell in love with our new characters of Bea and Nolan really quickly. 

I was also enjoying seeing more of Martha, in the lead up to her special birthday and once again she does seem to be a gifted psychic too. 

There are moments of peril, but for Bea who is originally only in Heartcross to mend a broken heart, it soon becomes apparent that she is also under the village's spell. 

I also really loved Nolan and his backstory too, and so would like to date him for myself. 

It's a joyous read and as always it has left me thinking that the next book in the series can't come soon enough!

Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
