A page-turning new cosy novel in the bestselling Love Heart Lane series – perfect for fans of Katie Fforde, Phillipa Ashley and Milly Johnson!
Love Heart Lane – where friends are there for you no matter what.
When Vet Rory Scott inherits ramshackle Clover Cottage in the quaint village of Heartcross, Allie MacDonald just knows this is their happy ever after. A place to call home with the man she loves – it’s her dream come true!
Until Rory drops a bombshell. He loves Allie but he has dreams of his own to follow – to live and work in Africa. Clover Cottage will have to wait just a little longer…
Allie can’t imagine life without Rory, but she loves him too much to hold him back. And as he embarks on his adventure, Allie begins to rethink her own plans. She loves Rory and knows she wants him in her life, but maybe she can follow her own dreams too?
And always there, nestled in the beautiful village of Heartcross, surrounded by the people she loves, will be the place that will always bring them back to each other. Their forever home, Clover Cottage.
Thank you to Rachel for letting me take part in this tour. I would also like to thank One More Chapter for my copy of this book via Netgalley. This is the third book in the Love Heart Lane Series. This can be read as a standalone ( I haven’t read the first two) but I do think you would get more if you read all three books. I will be going back to catch up on the first two.
This story follows Allie and Rory. Allie and Rory have been together for 18 months when we begin the story. I was a little sad to not see the beginnings of this story but this book isn’t about the beginning of the love story but the issues that can come up when we are already in that relationship. Both Allie and Rory were easy characters to connect with. Both at times were a little irritating. They could both be a little selfish but I think this just made them more realistic.
As well as being a love story there were many serious storylines in this book that will really touch your heart. I had some real respect for some of these characters for what they have been through. Christie manages to mix the lightheartedness with the serious.
I really enjoyed my trip to Love Heart Lane and the village of Heartcross. I can’t wait to go back!
