Product Description
Product Description
Life in the bosom of the Wilding family has its ups and downs From the moment she arrives back to find a half-naked man in the kitchen, nothing about returning to the Shropshire village of Upper Faviell is quite what Jamie Wilding expected. For much has changed at Bucklebury Farm in the months she's been travelling the world since the death of her mother...Her best friend's wife has gone completely off the rails, her father is behaving like a love-sick teenager - and he's about to sell off the farm. What's worse, the shark threatening to take away Jamie's family home is the man who made off with her heart twelve years ago. To defend her legacy and have a chance to discover the true love she craves, Jamie will have to confront a long-running family feud, her father, and her own past. And she'll have to answer the question: is home always where the heart is?

Format:Paperback
This is the first book I’ve read by Veronica Henry, so I did not have any special expectations or preconception as to what the book should be like, still, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a very entertaining chic-lit book, nothing new under the sun, as far as the content is concerned, but still exciting. It is a perfect relaxing reading for a lazy Sunday afternoon or a holiday. There are several characters you can root for or dislike as you choose and of course the end – though predictable – leaves you with a feeling of satisfaction.

Loved it, loved it, loved it. Veronica Henry is a writing genius. Lovely lighthearted storyline, likeable characters and interesting senarios. You can almost feel the chemistry between Jamie and Rod through the pages and the temptation to give Claudia and Zoe a slap is unbearable. Tongue in cheek humour, good fun and definatly worth a read. A gem of a book.

Format:Paperback
This is the first of Veronica Henry's books I've read but it won't be the last. It is a very enjoyable, well paced, humorous, bubbly book that's full of hunky men and sexy women with a good few affairs, rivalry, laughter and tears. It's a great holiday fun read very much in the style of Jill Mansell, Tina Reilly, Christina Jones etc.
