'...has the freedom she's been enjoying finally turned her feral?'
Claudette, our favourite woolly friend, is back and as feisty as ever in this, the second book in Sarah Hope's Pennycress Inn series. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for this, but when I discovered there was an audiobook, I was straight in there, and I listened to it in just a day. I get through so many more books in the summer when I'm outside weeding and whatnot, with my AirPods in!
As always, I fell in love with all the characters and of course I was rooting for Nicola and Charlie, right from the get-go. I loved Charlie. Mr Grumpy, who pretends he isn't falling in love with Meadowfield and its inhabitants, and especially one in particular. Many of the characters from the first book make an appearance, Laura and Jackson, stern old Miss Cross and of course Claudette the sheep!
English country romances are one of my absolute favourites, and in this one, I loved the essence of quintessential village life. The fun, the friendship, knowing everyone and being able to pop into the pub for a drink and knowing that there will be someone in there to talk to!
Thank you to Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read, listen to and review Falling in Love at Pennycress Inn by Sarah Hope.
About the Book
Is this just a summer romance or could it be more?
Nicola grew up at Pennycress Inn, in the beautiful Cotswold village of Meadowfield, and now she’s come full circle by landing a job there. After a difficult few months, she’s happy to be back in the place she loves and calls home.
The whole village is looking forward to the annual summer carnival, and Nicola is charged with asking the local farmers to lend their tractors and trailers for the occasion. It’s an easy task – until she meets the new owner of Little Mead Farm, who stubbornly refuses to help.
On sabbatical from his City job for the summer, Charlie wants to do up his late uncle’s farm and put it on the market as soon as possible. The place might have been in his family for generations but country life is simply not for him. He has no time for whatever the villagers are up to.
When Nicola and Charlie meet, sparks fly – and unexpected feelings grow. Soon there’s more at stake in Meadowfield than the success of the carnival. But whatever happens between them, this is just a summer romance… isn’t it?
Sarah has been dreaming up stories ever since she was a child. She remembers many a family stroll when she’d daydream up her next story adventure.
As an adult, she prefers to write romance novels and novellas with a Happy Ever After ending. She has two main romance series, the Escape To... series that focuses on single mums taking a chance and fulfilling their career dreams as well as finding love, and The Cornish Bakery series, that follows a busy bakery in a beautiful fictional bay in Cornwall.
Sarah Hope lives in Central England with her two children and an array of pets and enjoys escaping to the seaside at any opportunity.
She has also written some women’s fiction books.
