Review
'Very nicely done... Jill Mansell's chorus of sharp-witted youth, shaking sticks at the foibles of their elders, is delightful'
(Daily Express )'A smashing read that both delights and surprises the reader'
(Sun )Product Description
Lottie Carlyle isn't looking for love when she meets her new boss, Tyler Klein. Living in a beautiful cottage with her two adorable - sometimes - kids in an idyllic village in the Cotswolds, on good terms with her ex-husband and with friends all around, she's happy enough with her lot. But Tyler's perfect for Lottie and quickly she falls for him - and he for her. Unfortunately, there's a problem. For reasons that are totally unfair, Lottie's children HATE Tyler. When a rival for Lottie's affections comes on the scene in the shape of charmer Seb, the children adore him, and he's certainly a distraction. But he's not Tyler - and he's not even at all what he seems. Lottie's got a problem - but thanks, in classic Jill Mansell style, to a tobogganing accident and a delicious series of mix-ups, all will be revealed and true love will find a way.

This is not a bad book, in fact when I'd finally managed to get to grips with who was who I enjoyed it quite a lot, my only gripe is that Jill Mansell seems to be trying to put too much into her stories lately and I never felt enough empathy with any of the numerous characters to care too much really.
Her last book was a dismal effort - in my humble opinion - and while this is drastically better I still have a problem with the complexity that isn't needed. I much prefer her simpler, earlier work in that respect.
Lottie is a likable character that I never felt I had a chance to get to know too well, and why did she and Cress only seem to share a chapter or so? Considering they're supposed to be best friends they didn't spend much time together.
Tyler seems nice enough, but then so do Mario and Seb. Too many men to choose from? Maybe.
And finally, the ending had me feeling a little cheated and I'd experienced such better feelings of romance earlier on in the book that I felt the last scene was lacking in any.
Overall a feel-good Jill Mansell romance with plenty of village life thrown in, enjoyable for an afternoon's reading but don't get your hopes up too high on this one.

Once again i'm not dissapointed by Jill Mansell's new novel and she definately meets all my expectations and more. Her stories are perfect for any occasion: bus, train, work, holiday or just those lazy sunday afternoons.
If you've never read any of her books i recommend you purchase all of them as she never dissapoints and they are a thrill to read over and over again!
I just wish i didn't have to wait so long for another of her books to come out.

I have read all of Jill Mansell's books and this one doesn't disappoint. Some parts you laugh out loud and others have you wipe a tear away. It is definetly an "easy, feel good" book.

Mediocre at best
This book was sort of a let down for me. It started out with so much potential, and had all the elements that Jill Mansell is known for. Read more

Poor characters, not up to her usual standard
I have read a large number of Jill Mansell books and loved them all. Her characters are lovable and sparky and the stories are usually convoluted but fun. Read more

Easy summer reading
Upon reading the first few chapters of this book I was a little sceptical, it all seemed a little dull and `wishy washy' however, I persevered and found it a really enjoyable read! Read more

A GOOD BOOK TO COSY UP WITH!
Any story which eventually covers Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas gets my vote! This was a very enjoyable read, and the first Jill Mansell book I have read. Read more

A bit dissapointing
I am 120 pages into this novel and, to be honest, am finding it a bit boring. So far we have been introduced to the characters, and the scene has been set, but nothing of any... Read more
