Title: New Beginnings at Wildflower Lock
New starts and hopeful hearts...
At 25, Daisy May’s life is not living up to expectations. Her childhood dreams of being an artist feel as unachievable as a committed relationship or managing to save enough money for a deposit on a house. But a surprise inheritance could change all that.
After Daisy learns she’s now the new owner of a forty-foot narrow boat, she sets out for Wildflower Lock, where the fresh country breeze and the calm water is enough to assure her everything will be okay.
With the help of the ruggedly attractive, yet grumpy riverman, Theo, she begins to work on her new home, the September Rose. Can she breathe new life into the old boat and learn to navigate not only the canals themselves, but also the people who live there? Or will the whole venture pull her under?
I felt right at home in this story, despite it only being the second book I've ever read from this author, and the first book of this series.
The writing just drew me in so quickly, and I warmed to Daisy-May incredibly fast.
To the extent with each secret she undiscovers about her past I really felt for her.
There is something really inviting about a canal boat setting, and reading about the renovations and Daisy's first trips out on the boat, were just lovely. And I could really picture the landscape.
However the ending, well that makes me thing this must be the first book in a new series and it makes me very eager to carry on reading. Not so much a cliffhanger, but definitely a "happy for now" sort of feel to the end of the book, with an inkling that more will come.
An absolute joy to devour.
Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
