Today is my stop on the Blog tour for this wonderful new release from Julie Houston. Thank you to Aria Fiction for inviting me to join the tour, and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
The four Sutherland sisters have all had very different paths in life, but one secret and a slighty tense production of Jesus Christ Superstar are about to bring them all back together again…
When the news that pop-superstar Lexia Sutherland is returning to Westenbury, not everyone is thrilled by the news – including Lexia. There are too many memories she doesn’t need to face – or need re-surfacing. Meanwhile, Juno Sutherland just wants a little peace and quiet.
As the local village doctor, she’s got her priorities in order; kids, job, husband, tenacious pony, a role in the village musical… So when the sexy new locum turns up – and steals her office – the last thing she needed was to be hit with rising temperatures and an over-active imagination.
Will these sisters be able to uncover the past, deal with the future and put on the performance of a lifetime?
Return to Westenbury this spring and find out.
My Review
Having read A Village Affair by Julie Houston and loving it I could not wait to get started on this new release.
We are heading back to the Village of Westenbury where we meet the Sutherland Sisters, Juno, Lexia, Pandora and Ariadne.
Juno works as a doctor at the local surgery. She juggles this with looking after her two children with a menagerie of animals and all that their lives entail too. She does this alone as her husband has moved to the USA to work for a year.
Lexia is an amazing singer who found fame and fortune with her incredible voice. She is now married to Theo Ryan who is a famous footballer and they have a son too.
Pandora is the bossy and efficient one of the sisters. She once worked as a solicitor, but became a stay at home mum after having her son. She is now on every committee within the village and also runs the local choir.
Ariadne works as a teacher but does not seem to enjoy her job, or even like children that much.
The sisters are brought together by a singing competition being run by Pandora.
all of the sisters can sing. It is a skill they have all got from their mother. The sisters did not have the best upbringing as their womanising father left their mother for another, much younger woman, leaving her heartbroken and and suffering with mental health issues. This resulted in the older sisters looking after the younger ones.
With all the sisters now reunited in Westenbury, seeing each other again could be difficult for them all. Their lives are all very different now, with complications.
They all have secrets they are trying to keep will the reunion be everything they hoped for all will it cause more heartache for them all.
With the handsome locum doctor added to the mix this will make an exciting time for one of the sisters too.
This is such a wonderful read that you will not want to put down.
I really like the witty writing style of Julie Houston. She has a way of really drawing you into the story and making you feel part of it.
The story is mainly told from the lives of Juno and Lexia. Both of them are very complex characters who both are trying their best to overcome all of the difficulties in their lives.
You do also get to know Pandora and Ariadne too.
all of the sisters have different memories of what happened in the past, which does cause them a few differences.
I enjoyed all of the twists and turns, and ups and downs within the book and they keep you guessing right up the end.
I thoroughly enjoyed this hilarious and heartwarming read from Julie Houston, and I am already looking forward to her next release.
