What would you sacrifice to be with the person you love?

Summer has arrived and it’s over a year since strangers Abigail and Edward bought Winfield Hall at auction and restored it together. Now, two new tenants are about to join them at their beautiful Georgian home.

Workaholic Harry Freeman has forgotten what it is to relax so when he meets healer, Aura Arden, and learns to meditate with her, he can’t believe how good he feels and he soon finds himself falling for her. But, with her bare feet and crystal beads, Aura’s not a big hit with Harry’s old-fashioned parents, and he finds himself torn between the people he loves most in the world.

It isn’t just Harry and Aura finding love. Summer has woven its spell over Edward and his brother Oscar, and both are making a play for Abi. But Abi isn’t happy at having to choose between these two very different men and, when Oscar’s behaviour spirals out of control, she realizes that some decisions can have devastating consequences.

High Blue Sky is the second novel in the heart-warming trilogy from the bestselling author of The Rose Girls and The Book Lovers series.

This was such a lovely calming book, and a really gentle second book of this trilogy.  

I want to start and most likely end by saying how keen I am to read the final book in this trilogy, and to get presumably get some proper conclusions.  This book does have an ending but I also want to know what happens next. 

We still see plenty of Abi and Edward from the first book, but this story focuses more on Harry and Aura who seem like polar opposites. 

Harry works in advertising, seems rather stressed and has no idea how to relax until Aura moves into Winfield Hall too. She is a crystal healer sort of a person.  Normally the sorts of things Aura deals in would have me rather sceptical. 

But the way Victoria Connelly described everything had me at the very least believing there was comfort to be had from what Aura believes in, and that I can sort of see the benefits. At any rate I was happy to go along with the details of the sessions she has with Harry. 

There is far more plot packed into this book then I first though while reading, but looking back a lot happens, some good character development, and hints of intrigue planted for the next book too. 

I just found this to be a rather warm book to read, that certainly kept my interest, and I'm highly curious to see if some of the outcomes I really really want will occur in the final instalment. 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
