Book Description
There’s a newcomer to the village of Heartcross and she’s never been more in need of a friend. Ella is ready to start afresh ––and that could mean there’s love on the horizon in the form of the gorgeous Roman, the local water taxi driver. Every day Roman is there to ferry Ella to the restaurant on the other side of the lake and every night he makes sure she gets home safe. But Roman has secrets of his own…
Can the Love Heart Lane community offer Ella a chance of a new life? Or will the ghosts of her past catch up with her?
My Review
This is the fifth book in the 'Love Heart Lane' series, and having loved all of the series so far I could not wait to get started on reading this one.
In this book we meet Ella who is in need of a change a scene after a tough six months, and thanks to her friend Callie finds herself staying in the beautiful village of Heartcross.
Ella feels welcome in the village the moment she arrives and it doesn't take her long to feel like she's been part of the village forever.
Ella is soon making friends and there is even a spark of romance but Ella feels like she is not ready for love. Ella also really enjoys her new job at the Lake House and even manages to get a promotion within days of being there after coming up with a brilliant idea to help promote the Lake House.
Ella finds herself swept up in life in Heartcross and is really enjoying her life again. She is also beginning to realise that your past does not have to define your future, and maybe she should let love back into her life too.
This is a wonderful addition to the series.
This is such a heart warming and uplifting read that will brighten even the darkest of days.
I really enjoy the writing style of Christie Barlow, she has a way of really keeping you engrossed in the story from beginning to end and gives nothing away.
The setting of the village of Heartcross sounds like the perfect place to put yourself back together again and will make you want to stay forever.
I liked getting to know Ella, the more you find out about her past the more you understand the decisions she is making now.
It was great to be back in Heartcross and catching up with all of the characters I have grown to love as the series has progressed. The warmth of the community there can almost be felt through the pages of the book.
This book is a fantastic story full of friendship, fun and romance which will really bring a smile to your face.
The perfect start to 2021 reading.
