Ce second tome m'a beaucoup plu même si l'histoire est plutôt basique : l'héroïne, Kay, hérite d'une petite somme qu'elle investit dans un B&B à Lyme ( lieu emblématique de Persuasion), coup de chance : une adaptation du roman est justement tournée à Lyme au moment où elle termine ses plus gros t...
Only reason why I read this because a) I craved for some happy end romantic novel b)I love Jane Austen. Had a month ago read Longbourn and yerned for more Austen like books.I drank tea, ate cake and read this sugarcoated story. It was easy to read, no cloud in the sky, no brain activity. Just mun...
What would you do if you won the lottery? Perhaps you would reward yourself with a new house and car, splurge on items that were considered out of your financial reach and travel to practically anywhere in the world. The opportunities are indeed endless when a large sum of money is worked into th...
I’m going to tell on myself. I’m a sniveling, sentimental sucker for a good Christmas story. It is only October and I’ve only devoured two of them so I’m way behind my normal seasonal curve. Thank heavens for Author Victoria Connelly, who sensing a good thing, has smartly thrown together ALL o...
He was sitting in the drawing room at Purley Hall having been fed tea and shortbread by a very sympathetic Higgins. ‘Should I ring Miss Robyn?’ Higgins asked. ‘Good grief no!’ Dan said, his bright eyes widening in alarm. ‘She mustn’t know about this...
She’d been there for just over a week and her once hectic timetable had been abolished, leaving her with whole days to do exactly what she pleased. She was sleeping well, eating what she liked, and taking long walks around the loch each day. Her eyes looked brighter and she’d lost the shadows und...
I still find it hard to believe that I’m a married woman. After a wedding night in the West Turret Bedroom at Amberley - another Bretton tradition - we journeyed up to the Highlands to Glentorran Lodge. It was wonderful if chilly. I was trying desperately not to think of girlfriends who’ve honeym...
Why did she keep shutting him out when he so desperately wanted to help her? He was the only one of her fiancés to have questioned her like that - the only one to realise that she wasn’t being completely honest. But did he really want to help her? If she told him the truth, would he really unders...
There were so many thoughts skydiving in her head but the one that wouldn’t let go was perhaps the silliest. I’ve been skinny-dipping with a married man! She stopped for a moment and closed her eyes in horror. She wasn’t the sort of woman to do such a thing and it filled her with dismay that Milo...
He’d done nothing more than nod and smile at Katherine from across the breakfast table. He sat a couple of rows behind her in the Undressing Mr Darcy session, and he didn’t even try to corner her during the first coffee break of the morning. Oh, no. That wouldn’t be cool. He didn’t want to come a...
She was certainly taking her time: faffing about with Mr Bartholomew’s booklets, closing down all her files, straightening her in tray, and fiddling with the contents of her handbag. Any more time-consuming nonsense and Kristen was going to have to march over there and physically propel her out o...
‘He looks so sad,’ Flora said. ‘Not as sad as I’d have looked if I’d lost him,’ Tom said, picking him up and dusting him down with loving hands. ‘Come on, Flo. Let’s see if we can catch up with Molly.’ But they couldn’t. Shortly after finding themselves back at the farm tr...
‘Are we wearing our dresses again today?’ Shelley asked. ‘Of course!’ Mia said. ‘I’ve been looking forward to wearing mine all year. I can’t very well wear it in London, can I?’ ‘Imagine the looks you’d get on the tube!’ Shelley said. Mia collected the breakfast dishes and...
Oli was silent at first, his head bent down and his blue eyes hidden behind his dark glasses. Kay felt horribly conspicuous in her bright green cardigan and yellow hat and had seen the double take the taxi driver had given as they got into the car. ‘Where’s the fancy dress...
She’d travelled from the Cotswolds and was meant to be meeting someone and couldn’t help feeling a mite nervous at the prospect. What would everyone at Purley Hall say? Doris had told Robyn, of course, and the sweet girl had said it was absolutely fine and had told Doris not to worry but she coul...
She had instantly liked her and could easily see why Olivia was so attached to her. So what was Dominic’s problem? Did he really have no feelings for her anymore? Had his work taken over his life to such an extent that there wasn’t any room left for a girlfriend – or was there more to it than tha...
