When Daisy’s mother falls ill she is forced to return home. With her twin sons in tow, she moves back to Half Moon Farm, her family’s ancient hop farm.  

But a new life in the Kent countryside isn’t necessarily as idyllic as it might seem. Daisy’s relationship with her mother is complicated and the tumbledown farm isn’t the only thing that needs rebuilding. Daisy and her sons must adjust to life with estranged family, a leaking roof, and no WiFi.

Luckily for Daisy, she might yet find some distraction in silver fox farmer, Drew, or in the haughty heir to the nearby estate, Kit, who she can’t seem to avoid.

Daisy must learn to juggle her new life, the boys, and the daunting task of updating the farm. But there are secrets lurking in her family’s past that might throw everything into further disarray…

A really lovely and gentle story that was a pleasure to read. 

It's all about Daisy and her twin sons, as they move to Half Moon Farm to look after Daisy's estranged mum Rose who is recovering from surgery.  It's initially a period of re-adjustment as they get used to a new home, new school, new friends to be made etc.. 

And as Daisy starts to settle into the area, there are two leading men in this story, who are viable love interests for Daisy. 

We have Drew who her mother loves, and so does everyone in town and that has a bit of a playboy feel about him, but Daisy doesn't necessarily want anything serious or anything at all.   And then their is Kit, who is from a family that has had a long standing feud with Daisy's for many years. 

And it's discovering more about the unpleasantness between the two families that is rather interesting, as Daisy discovers some letters, that may lead to hidden family secrets. 

I loved getting to know all of this wide range of characters, and certainly at times I was kept on my toes. There are some really fabulous scenes and I especially loved all the descriptions of the castle and manor, and the flying lesson sticks in mind too.  

I knew who I was rooting for Daisy to end up with, and I was made to work for it.  This is just another really lovely and enjoyable story from an author I always love. 

Thank you to Sara Jade Virtue for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
