My own copy |
The
blurb:
Chloe Richards is a
small town girl with a big heart. At least, that’s what the local folk of
Rosehip Village think. But when her parents turn up on her doorstep asking for
help, her secret past is about to be revealed.
Being the daughter of
Hollywood royalty was never going to be easy, but at 19, Chloe Richards managed
to leave that life behind along with the scandals that almost destroyed her. A
fresh start was all she needed, and a fresh start was what she got in Rosehip.
Girlfriend of a local bookshop owner, best friends with fiercely loyal café
owner and owner of a perfume business herself, Chloe has a happy life. But her
parents are about to turn her perfect life on its head. Again.
What do you do when
you’re torn between loyalty and protecting yourself? Should you trust your
heart when your head is telling you not to?
My
Opinion:
*Book

Can
we just first take a moment to look at this gorgeous cover?! I love it!
Chloe
Richards is at a good point of her life when we meet her. She has a boyfriend,
does what she loves and lives in a small town. When her parents turn up however
everything is turned upside down. Her past catches up with her again and
suddenly everything comes back.
Her
parents are famous actors and they bring attention to Rosehip Village.
Her
past almost destroyed her and now it’s all coming back. Her parents, the couple
that comes with them (rockstar Reilly and actress Bree) and then there is also
her boyfriend Billy.
A
big plot twist shakes everything upside down and adds a lot of drama. I just
felt with Chloe all the time. The things she had to go through come basically
back to haunt her and her parents are finally there to help her, but will she
let them?! And then there is Reilly who comes across arrogant at first, but
proves to be charming and caring!
Ellen
striked again! The writing of this story is beautiful and I love how well the
characters were lined out and how they were all connected. Some unexpected
moments added great excitement and drama to the gorgeous setting of Rosehip. Ellen
has a wonderful way to include emotions in a story and take you right into it,
as if your part of it.
Rating:
My possible cast:
