Kelly Hunter really knows how to write a fabulous story, this one is witty, fun and emotional and ticks all of the boxes for a beautiful romance, I loved it so much getting to know Lola, Ned and Ollie was pure joy and of course I do love my visits to Wirralong, come along for the journey.

Ned Harrow long term resident of Wirralong and fabulous artisan blacksmith lost his wife on the day their son was born, he is coping well as a single dad and getting his business back to where it was with the help of friends as babysitters. When his neighbour Rosa’s goddaughter arrives Ned’s life as he knows it is upended in a most delicious way but there are many emotional hurdles to cross.

Lola Darcy is an actress not yet scoring the big roles but slowly, slowly as she says, she is bright bubbly and moves at fast speed, she has arrived at her godmothers to surprise her for her birthday, this brings her in contact with the most gorgeous of men, a blacksmith and father of the most adorable Oliver and Lola steps in to help with babysitting and it is not long before Lola’s heart is finding Ned in it, is there any chance of a future.

Two most unlikely people become friends there is laughter, joy and the worry of a future but Ned’s past and Lola’s vulnerability cause a few bumps along the way, I truly smiled and shed a few tears reading this one as I also cheered them on, Lola is the most beautiful of heroines her heart of gold and her bounding energy and love are just what Ned needs and Ned what can I say, what he has been through would break many a man but not Ned with the love of Lola they fly to the future.

Another must read in this awesome series, I really loved it and can highly recommend it, Wirralong is the place to be and I do hope that there will be many more stories set there.

My thanks to the author and publisher for my digital copy to read and review.
