Starcross Manor by Christie Barlow

 


Today I am pleased to share with you my review of the fun and heartwarming new release from Christie Barlow. 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

Dying to know more about the brooding and mysterious Flynn Carter and the secrets behind his plans for Starcross Manor?

You won’t want to miss the next spellbinding chapter in the Love Heart Lane series – where friends are there for you no matter what.

When Julia Coleman meets Flynn Carter again in the cosy village of Heartcross it can only mean trouble. Flynn might be rich, brooding and sexy, but Julia knows first-hand he’s ruthless and she plans to watch his every move.

When Julia discovers Flynn’s plans for beautiful Starcross Manor her greatest fears come true.  Because Flynn’s dreams of turning Starcross into a luxury hotel could ruin Julia’s dreams…and finish off the community of Heartcross for good.

Flynn makes it clear he doesn’t want trouble, and he’s not the man Julia thinks he is.  As he sets about convincing the community he’s changed, he hopes he can convince Julia to give him another chance too…


My Review

This is the latest heartwarming and uplifting read in the brilliant Love Heart Lane series from Christie Barlow and it is another of her books I could not put down. 

Julia Coleman runs a successful B and B in the Village of Heartcross. It is a business she has spent time and effort building up and she is proud of how much she has accomplished. She even has plans to extend the B and B so that she can take on more customers and make her business grow further. 

Julia is shocked to see Flynn Carter in the village pub. He is a face from the past that Julia is not happy to see. The rest of the village find him to be a charming man but Julia knows just how cruel and heartless he can be. Julia is even more stunned when she finds out the reason he is in the village. Flynn has big plans to turn Starcross Manor into a luxurious five star hotel, this could ruin not only Julia's dreams, but mean trouble for the whole village too.

Flynn makes his his plan known to all of the businesses in Heartcross and that he has no plans to take over  the village. this takes some convincing from all of the villagers concerned, and when disaster strikes at the B and B he swoops in to help Julia and save her business. 

Maybe Flynn is not the man that Julia thought he was but time will tell will he be able to gain her trust and prove he's not a bad guy after all?

This is a great addition to the Love Heart Lane series that i have simply adored. The writing style of the book flows well and the settings are described in such a way that you feel like you are transported to the village too. 

This story in the series features Julia and Flynn. It tells the story of there lives and how much they both want success. Julia has been brought up in the Village of Heartcross and wants to continue to be a big part of the village. You do get to know her more as the book progresses and you find out why her business means so much to her and why she feels the way she does about Flynn. 

Flynn Carter has worked hard to make his business a success and this has give him a great reputation in the hotel business. Life has not always been easy for him and he has heartache and issues to deal with in his past too. He is determined to prove to Julia how much of a nice guy he is and that he can be trusted. This is going to take some hard work from Flynn as Julia is a tough nut to crack. 

The setting of Starcross Manor sounds simply divine and a place we could all use to escape to from time to time. 

This is the forth book in the Love Heart Lane Series and does include all of the characters from Heartcross that we have grown to know and love. These books are a delight to read and are the perfect form of escapism from real life. 

Christie Barlow has such a talent of whipping you away from your life for a few hours and taking you on another adventure in the Scottish Highlands.
