Publisher's summary

When Charlie Thorpe met Holly Renton, they were not a match made in heaven....

Holly lives and works in the beautiful town of Willowbury in Somerset. An incorrigible optimist, she is determined to change the world for the better.

Charlie Thorpe, on the other hand, is the ultimate pragmatist. As Willowbury’s new member of parliament, he has to be. While he’s determined to prove himself to the town, as far as Holly’s concerned, he’s just another politician on the make.

But when their paths cross again, it’s clear they’ve got more in common than they think. Can Holly and Charlie overcome their differences and work together, or are they destined to be forever on opposite sides? And why does Holly have a funny feeling she has met Charlie before?

Let Fay Keenan whisk you away to a world of glorious country views, unforgettable characters and once-in-a-lifetime love. Perfect for all fans of Fern Britton, Veronica Henry and Erica James.

Rambling…

The narrator has a pleasant voice but her inflection made it hard to listen.
The book rambled on and I found myself drifting.

Could not finish

I am a voracious audible reader, however, I could not listen to this narrator. Her voice was pleasant, but she had a very odd speech pattern where she would speak hurriedly for a few words, pause and speed up again. She also read the book without regard to the story- very robotic-like. This made it impossible for me to listen to the book. Don’t waste your credit!
