Publisher's summary

He’s inherited every English boy’s dream car. But to hold on to it, he’ll have to get his hands dirty.

Eric Sibley loves his upscale job and the good life it provides. So when the corporate climber inherits his father’s Aston Martin DB4, he’s excited to drive his wife and daughter around in style. But he’s shocked to discover he can only have the flashy auto if he agrees to get a little mud on his polished shoes.

Confined to the will’s strict guidelines, he has no choice but to venture far from his London office and keep his father’s community veggie patch growing. But his hare-brained shortcuts to worm his way out of the obligation only dig him deeper into trouble with his worried wife and the meddling rural greenthumbs.

Has Eric spoiled his stake in the allotment and ruined everything, or will his failed schemes reveal the very thing that matters most?

Peas, Carrots and an Aston Martin is a heart-warming novel from the Peas and Carrots humorous fiction series. If you like crazy capers, quirky characters, and brilliant second chances, then you’ll love Kindle Storyteller Award winner Hannah Lynn’s madcap tale.

Fun getting to know a car and it's owner

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed the depth of the characters in the book and the setting was interesting. I like how it ended. Loved reading about the car!

Adorably Funny and Witty! Loved it.

This totally reminded me of Confessions of a Shopaholic. The humor was spot on. It was so well written and i love the narrator. Nailed It! I've listened to other narrators with British Accents and I spent more time trying to mentally translate into English (American English) and finally just gave up, but this man was perfect. Well done!

great story

this was a great story. the bar did a great job, good character development, funny at times. I really enjoyed it.

Gardening, family and a car what better combo!

The author as well as the narrator work together to bring a wonderful picture of the characters out in this book as well as the settings. As you are listening you can just imagine how Eric can get into so much of a mess in the allotments and at the same time it is such a wonderful thing that he does as it is a real changing point in the story. You also will love that Suzy is a go for it type of woman, and sweet funny Abbey. Then there are Christine and Janice, Norman and and Hank, and we cannot forgot Lydia and Thomas with their boys. . . these are all wonderful characters you will meet in the journey of the Peas, Carrots and an Aston Martin Book 1 and I am looking forward to seeing what happens in Book 2 and with all the characters and the Aston Martin Sally, and the bunch at the allotments! I loved it and I am sure you will too it is a wonderful story that is woven around a son who has grown into an adult with a family of his own, a father who has grown old and remembering that son, and a car they both loved, and what happens when they no longer find common ground over the years and then one is no longer around! Enjoy! It is about family!

Did not finish

I figured it was only fair to state that I did not finish this up front. I am sure the story was wonderful, all of the other reviews say it is. I listened for a little over two hours and just could not get into it. I had no sympathy for the mail character and didn't care what he did or what happened to him. Maybe I should have stuck it out, but I didn't. There are way too many other books in the sea!

I enjoyed the narrator though! I would listen to this narrator again.

A Pleasant Surprise

I don't know what I was expecting, but this exceeded my expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of fun, quirky, unique, a breath of fresh air (no pun intended). Definitely give it a shot!

True family dynamics with a touch of humor

Beautifully written story about true family dynamics with a big touch of humor. I loved all the characters and how they interact with one another. The storyline is absolutely believable. I was hooked on this book within the first five minutes. This book kept me on the edge f my seat I just had to know how it was going to end. I highly recommend this book if you love drama, humor and a touch of reality. I can already tell that this series is a do not miss read/listen. I received this book at my request and I am glad I did. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review here of my own volition.

I liked this book

Loved the narrator and the story was very intriguing. An allotment and an astin Martin inheritance brings a businessman to the realization family and time are most precious.

Funny, Quirky Listen

I found this book to be amusing and fun to listen to and the narration was excellent. I had a little trouble getting into the book at first as I found the main character, Eric, to be rather unlikeable (why couldn't he just follow instructions?), but as the story continued Eric's character developed and he discovered the things that were really important in his life. As his character grew, he became more real and likeable and by the end of the book, I realized that I had enjoyed it very much and now have the second book in the series to listen to and enjoy, and I'm very much looking forward to it.

very enjoyable

This was just what I was looking for after various thrillers, this is funny, light hearted, and thoughtful.

Eric has to come to terms with his fathers death and also the conditions of the will, which are not to Eric liking, but, once you start reading it is easy to understand why his Dad left them. Eric on the other hand doesn’t, but as the book goes on Erik eventually comes around to this and his family is better off for all of this.

I found this book to be very likable, with some funny parts, but I never laughed out loud.

Interesting quirky characters, well written, a great book for those who enjoy humour, contemporary fiction.
