Return to Embthwaite Farm
The Mowbray Sisters #1
Kate Hewitt
Reviewed by Helen
This is a lovely story and a fabulous start to a new series, I loved the setting, North Yorkshire and I did very much enjoy getting to know the Mowbray family, sisters Rachel and Harriet and their father Peter.
Rachel left the family farm at eighteen setting off to university and she wasn’t planning to return, she also left behind her neighbour, Ben Mackey, but she wanted a career in London and although there were a couple of short visits home she never felt welcome and she has a great job and enjoying life, or is she?
Rachel is lapping it up on her first holiday since forever when she gets a call from her ex Ben, telling her she needs to come home and now, her father is not well, so Rachel arrives ready to do what she can but she is not met with welcome arms from her sister or father, but Ben still has the power to make her heart race, after all of these years.
Coming home though opens up a Pandora’s Box of childhood memories and they are challenging for Rachel and she starts questioning herself and Harriett, but as she works through the problems of her father’s health she also is talking to Ben more, she knows how much he means to her but does Ben feel the same way and when push comes to shove will she choose Ben or her job?
This is a beautiful story, with fabulous characters Kate Hewitt has dug deep into their emotions and bought them to life on the pages, Rachel had a lot to re-think about her life and about family, will she find her true HEA?
I do highly recommend this one and I am very eager for book two in the series.
My thanks to the publisher Tule for a digital copy to read and review.
