Product Description

Product Description

Jo’s romance with the gypsy began with his first kiss, she never forgot it…

When Jo Edmond’s husband runs off with their nanny and disappears into a Spanish sunset, Jo resolves to make a new life with her baby son. She impulsively purchases Kirkton House a run down guest house and with the help of a colourful cast of characters, establishes a thriving country house hotel. Jo opens the hotel during Fair Week, a famous 300 year old gypsy tradition, hated by the locals and loved by every tinker and traveller in the country. Romance is the last thing on her mind, until the enigmatic John Doherty walks into her life...

Assisted by Hattie, a local woman who becomes a friend, Jo’s business succeeds and a new Jo emerges, attracting the attention of every man who comes within her radar. In Fair Week, Jo’s errant husband turns up and begins a campaign to win her back but Black Monday is looming, the stock market crashes and tourism dries up. With difficult days ahead Jo has to reinvent her business to survive…

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lovely read 28 April 2012
By MrsB
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I downloaded this to my kindle as I thought it looked a 'good read'. I was proved right.

I loved the relationship between the main character, Jo and Hattie - who gave plenty of laugh out loud moments. Jo's relationships with other characters in the book were little stories of their own. I found myself cheering for Jo, crying with her and getting angry with her. All signs of a good, well written book.

A lovely, warm story, perfect for your holiday read.

I look forward to this book as a paperback, so I can get it for my mum who has not yet been tempted by a kindle.

I look forward to more from this author.

I have never left a review before but just had to for this book. I downloaded this when it was free and started straight away. It was a absolute fantastic read, I just couldn't put it down, you get drawn into the live's of Jo and Hattie and the day to day goings on in the Hotel.
I would definitely recommend this book, read it and you will not be disappointed.

Too predictable, but a nice wee read. Will not put me off reading more of her stuff. I like Caroline James short stories better (Candis Mag).
