The Cottage on Wildflower Lane by Liz Davies



Today is my stop on the Blog Tour for this heartwarming and romantic read from Liz Davies. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to join the tour and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. 



Book Description
Esther's life isn’t perfect (whose is?) – but she’s happy enough living in her little flat with her boyfriend, Josh.

But that’s about to change.

Bored out of her mind in work, she wishes that something, anything, would happen to liven her life up.

Unfortunately, her wish comes true when Josh calls her from the airport to tell her he’s going to work in a bar in Spain, and she’s not invited, Esther is devastated, and her unhappiness is compounded when she discovers she can actually view the bar via a webcam link and watch him chatting up other girls.

But when she inadvertently clicks on a link to another webcam which shows a pretty cottage and the rather hunky man who lives in it, her interest is piqued and she wishes she could get to know him.

Wishes don’t really come true, though – do they...?



My Review
This is a wonderful heart warming read that I was hooked on from the first page to the last and read in one sitting. 
Esther is working as a temp doing some admin jobs. She is happy with her life, she has a boyfriend she adores and they share a flat together. Esther is finding her current job rather slow and is just sat wishing that something exciting would happen just to perk up her day. What Esther wasn't expecting was a phone call that will shake up her whole world and leave her broken hearted. 
Her beloved boyfriend Josh, has decided to dump her and move to Spain to work in a bar his friend owns. He could not tell her to her face so gives her all this information while he is already at the airport. 
Esther head home with a broken heart and has her friends around her to try and lift her up. She looks online to see is she can find the Flamingo bar in Spain, this is where Josh is working and she sees that they have a live webcam showing what is going on in the bar. 
With her world feeling like is has been turned upside down Esther is drawn to watching the webcam every night to try and get a glimpse of Josh. Esther finds herself drinking too much to hide the pain and even goes on a few dates too which both only end up in disaster. 
It is while on a night out with her closest friend that she meets Dean, he is one of the partners in a company and after finding out that Esther is looking for a new job explains that he is looking for admin staff for his landscape company. Could this be the fresh new start that Esther is looking for?
While settling into her new job that she is really enjoying Esther finds herself drawn to the Flamingo Bar webcam less but she has stumbled upon another webcam which shows a beautiful cottage with a rather handsome occupant. 
With her new job, the handsome man in the webcam video, and starting to date the handsome Kit is Esther finally getting her life in order and will she be getting her happy ever after or is she going to get her heart broken again. 
This is a wonderful heartwarming and fun read that I loved from start to finish. 
The writing style of the book is light and really makes you want to keep turning the pages.
I found this characters in this book fascinating. Both Esther and Kit have both had hurt and heartbreak in their pasts and it does make it harder for them both to trust anyone else again. Kit is also keeping a secret from Esther that he is worried about sharing. 
I loved that the story was told from both the perspectives of Esther and Kit which made for fun reading. 
this is a book you will definitely not be disappointed you purchased. It is the perfect pick me up on a wet and grey day.

About the Author

Liz Davies writes feel-good, light-hearted stories with a hefty dose of romance, a smattering of humour, and a great deal of love.
She’s married to her best friend, has one grown-up daughter, and when she isn’t scribbling away in the notepad she carries with her everywhere (just in case inspiration strikes), you’ll find her searching for that perfect pair of shoes. She loves to cook but isn’t very good at it, and loves to eat - she’s much better at that! Liz also enjoys walking (preferably on the flat), cycling (also on the flat), and lots of sitting around in the garden on warm, sunny days.
She currently lives with her family in Wales, but would ideally love to buy a camper can and travel the world in it.
