My Opinion:
*Book provided by the publisher in
exchange for an honest review*
Kate Somersby is back home in Whispers Wood, after
running away for years. The Clockhouse on the Green holds a lot of memories for
her, so she makes an offer on the house. However, she is not the only one,
Daniel Westlake, an entrepreneur, wants it too. So that’s where their
competition starts. The current owner wants them to raise funds for the Summer
Fete.
Daniel is not connected to Whispers Wood, he just
landed there after his car broke down and he spotted Kate going into the clock house,
so he got curious.
Their ideas ideas to raise funds are fun, creative and
fabulous to read about. They build a lot of excitement for the storyline and
the characters can interact in several ways. Of course there are not only Kate
and Daniel. There is Kate’s family, Oscar (her brother-in-law) and Juliet.
Oscar and Juliet had their own story to tell, which wad fab. Most of the time
it was Kate or Daniel narrating a chapter, but Juliet and Oscar got their turn
as well. Sometimes, that was a but too much change for me, but I still enjoyed
reading about Oscar and Juliet as well and I really liked them and their story.
Kate’s past plays an important role in this book too,
which adds some intrigue and another level of interest.
Organising events and competing against each other
also meant that Kate and Daniel had to spend time together. These were my
favourite scenes by far, because I really liked them together, I just adored their
chemistry and loved seeing their relationship develop.
It took me a while to get into the story, but then I
got hooked and really fell in love with it. It’s a charming story, with a vivid
style of writing and full of warmth and love.
