As soon as Kat Jenson set foot in the idyllic French village of Kirchhoffen, she knew she’d found her home. Now she has a dreamy boyfriend, a delightful dog and the perfect job managing a bustling book café in the vibrant Parc Lemmel.

But when she learns her boyfriend isn’t all he seems, it’s the start of a difficult summer for Kat. Vindictive troublemakers, work woes and family heartache follow, and the clear blue sky that was her life suddenly seems full of clouds.

Then she gets to know the mysterious Noah, and her sun begins to shine brighter than ever. But Noah has problems of his own – ones that could scupper their new-found happiness. Together, can they overcome their many obstacles, and find love again?

The perfect summer read for fans of Trisha Ashley, Sarah Morgan and Carole Matthews.

Once again Sue Moorcroft has written another delightful novel, that I thoroughly enjoyed and couldn't get enough of. 

I mean we are talking about a bookshop with cafe, in the middle of a gorgeous sounding park (by park I mean the sort that has a kayaking lake, many rides including rollercoasters, expanse of greenery, shops and more) and not the your down the bottom of your road small park, a gorgeous little dog,  summer in France, and a story that looks at family relationships. 

Especially looking at how children and step parents exist, and how that can shape who you are as an adult. 

I loved the friendship that was developing between Kat and Noah, and seeing Noah really come alive as the story progressed from his initial rather quite, withdrawn self, to at a certain point someone truly special. 

There is certainly drama involved which leads to sabotage, and then a bit of detective work.  And I do love a confrontation or two to heighten the excitement of the story! 

So many good storylines, everything moves along at a decent pace and this is just wonderful writing, a great story and Sue Moorcroft at her best.  An all around thoroughly enjoyable book. 

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