Maddie Brooks is
delighted when she moves into her dream cottage. The cottage is the
perfect place for her to begin her new life. The cottage needs a lot
of work doing to it but Maddie can see the potential in the cottage
to create a wonderful place for her to live and make the first step
to the rest of her life.
Lewis Hart has a
strong connection to the cottage. He feels sad he misses out on the
chance to buy it for himself. Lewis was very close to the previous
owner Aggie and he also had plans for the cottage. He finds himself
employed by Maddie to help undertake the renovation work on the
house.
Excited to begin her
new life, Maddie moves in the cottage despite the mess and disruption
while the repairs are been done. Things become even more difficult
due to the work taking place over the Christmas holiday season and
this and the winter causes more delays and complications to getting
the cottage completed. Maddie soon gets use to having Lewis around
and they become close, but when boundaries are crossed and confusion
and communication cause more damage, will this be more complicated to
fix and put back together than restoring the cottage?
A beautiful book by
author Linn B. Halton. A wonderful, warm and romantic read. I liked
that Maddie is a strong leading lady who knows what she wants out of
life and is no longer afraid of doing things for herself and
embracing a new life with a positivity and enthusiastic energy, when
it could be so easily a sad situation. The location where the story
is set too provides the heart of a well told and emotional love
story.
