***** 5 stars
I am a HUGE Harriet Evans fan. This was my first book that I read by her and I was hooked and half way through the book, was ordering all the rest of her works online. When you read this book you are really taken away from it all and enveloped into the story. Her characters are deep and well formed. She has depth that you don't find all the time in Chic lit, but with the same pull that makes you want to gobble it up and for it never to end. I guess I am a hopeless romantic as well, so it is definitely one I will go back and reread!
Book jacket summary:
The warm and enchanting new novel from the bestselling author of 'Going Home'. Laura Foster is a hopeless romantic. It is her most endearing characteristic, yet consistently leads her into trouble. Friends and family look on with amused tolerance -- until Laura's inability to tell reality from romantic dreams causes betrayal and a broken heart. Taking refuge in Norfolk, Laura is bitterly aware that her rose-tinted glasses have to go. She swears off men, and all things romantic, for good -- until she meets Nick, the estate manager of a huge stately home. But Nick has a secret too. And it's one that Laura, however much she tries, can't get past her prejudice about. Just as she was stubbornly a die-hard romantic, so Laura is stubborn about there being no future for her and Nick. But will he manage to change her mind?
