Josh Nightingale has always been married to his books. Happy to run his bookshop in the small town of Castle Clare, he’s never really had time for romance and truly believes that he’s never going to fall in love. But, when April Channing opens a new shop opposite his, everything changes.
Sweet and attentive one moment, abrupt and aloof the next, Josh really can’t understand April at all. What exactly is going on? Josh is pretty sure that the answer can’t be found in a book.
Join the Nightingale family once again for this deliciously heartwarming novel, the forth in The Book Lovers series, by the bestselling author of The Rose Girls and A Weekend with Mr Darcy.

I was so delighted when this landed on my kindle, that I pretty much had to start it instantly. It was a joy to be back in Castle Clare, amongst the Nightingale family.
Josh is the quietest member of his family, he's a bit of an introvert and loves his books and his bookshop and doesn't really do much else. However when he meets April who takes on the shop opposite his bookshop, his life suddenly exists in technicolor.
Yet nothing with April is quite as it seems, I twigged one of her secrets quite early on, but the rest I was on the same journey of discovery as Josh with.
She is s complex woman, and I loved her outlook on life, and also her unconventional family set up.
It was great seeing all of Josh's family again, and catching up with people that we have met in the previous books. This though easily stands alone, and the main focus is on Josh and April.
I also enjoyed one of the book club members opening up to Josh about his own first love, and his sibling relationship. It was good to for Josh to get an outsiders perspective on his own love life.
I would love to tell you more about this fledgling potential relationship, but I don't want to risk spoiling the bigger story lines, that are really interesting.
I also learnt a lot about the Bloomsbury Group from this book, not being someone who particularly reads classical literature I had no idea about the group that involved Virginia Woolf. At times I wasn't really sure about the references but I got the gist, and I suspect if you have heard of them and their philosophies those bits would make even more sense to you.
I couldn't get enough of this book, I found like I always tend to with Victoria Connelly books that it was an incredibly fast and enjoyable reading experience.
I have everything crossed that this won't be the last book in the series, I really do need more from this family of bookworms, book sellers, book addicts and all around book lovers!!
Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily,
