Will her new love story be the one she's read before?

A decade after they said goodbye after graduation, old friends Harri and Annie reunite in the beautiful village of Clove Lore in Devon – what more could these bookworms want than a holiday running the tumbledown bookshop?

Unbeknownst to Annie, Harri is arriving with a bruised heart after the end of his long-term relationship, while Annie is running away from painful memories in Texas.

Elsewhere in Clove Lore, the mysterious owner of Castle Lore has died, causing much gossip in the village. When Harri and Annie are sent to investigate the huge Gothic library, they find themselves locked in overnight and soon, are discovering their connection might be more than just good friends...

A gorgeously uplifting friends-to-lovers romance that will make your heart sing. Fans of Jenny Colgan, Trisha Ashley and Heidi Swain will adore this.

Oh Kiley, why oh why does this have to be the end of a glorious series (at east I believe this is the end of the series).  I have loved each and every book and I'm happy to say the series does end on a high. 

We get to see bits from many of the previous borrowers, as well as all the regulars in Clove Lore. 

And we get to know Harri and Annie, long term friends, that are in charge of the bookshop for the duration of this novel. 

As you might expect they start to feel rather fond of the quirky nature of this town and its inhabitants, as well as playing a key role in a gorgeous sub plot featuring another new character. 

I couldn't devour this fast enough, it was a pure joy to read. Another absolute triumph in this series in a setting that will live long in the memory.

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