Format:Paperback
This was a very readable and enjoyable romance. It is at times light hearted, other times humorous, then quite serious and tugging at your heart strings - and then it all gets a bit explicit, oooh-er! (but only a little bit.)
Two men and two women, all at times married, find themselves variously separated, divorced or just isolated in their marriages. They all meet up in a village in Devon - one of them is a world famous artist, one is an interior designer in hiding, one is a stone mason, and another is a GP.
Veronica Henry obviously has a real feeling for this part of the world and writes about it vividly. The local characters, for example those in the pub, really come to life. The plot had quite a few twists and turns, enough to keep me occupied in trying to guess the final outcomes.
My only quibble is that someone seems to have decided to make this into a Christmas book (hence the snow on the front cover) and all of a sudden, the characters are planning Christmas, which just feels a bit forced and unrelated to other events. Maybe there's some kind of publishing rule that all the rom-coms at this time of year have to be glittery and snowy...

I LOVED this book. Veronica Henry was one of my favourite authors when chicklit was my primary genre, but over the last few years I have switched to crime. However when I saw this book I thought I would have a change and a bit of light hearted relief. And what a good decision, this is a wonderful read.
It's not silly or farcical as a lot of chicklit is, this is simply a heartwarming story as is typical of the author, laced withb fabulous characters. The main character is Charlotte, happily married until her husband is arrested for fraud. Following the resulting scandal, she flees and takes refuge in a remote Exmoor village. There she meets celebrity artist Sebastian and his wife Catkin, desperate to make it big in television, stonemason Fitch and his devious and selfish wife Hayley, and divorcee Penny, who is bored with being on her own, largely ignored by her teenage children.
The cast is so well portrayed that the characters become almost real and the only disappointing thing about this book is that when you finish it you have to leave them all behind. It's a lovely read and one I highly recommend.

A good offering of chick lit! Can't really go wrong with this one! Easy to read with a fast enough paced story.
