Synopsis
What if the one person you wanted to talk to wouldn’t listen?
Winter Gregory and her twin sister Daisy live oceans apart but they still have the ‘twin thing’ going on. Daisy is Winter’s port in the storm, the first person she calls when things go wrong …
And things are wrong. Winter has travelled to a remote Yorkshire village to write her new book, and to escape her ex-boyfriend Dan Bekener. Dan never liked her reliance on Daisy and made her choose – but Winter’s twin will always be her first choice.
She soon finds herself immersed in village life after meeting the troubled Hill family; horse-loving eight-year-old Scarlet and damaged, yet temptingly gorgeous, Alex. The distraction is welcome and, when Winter needs to talk, Daisy is always there.
But Dan can’t stay away and remains intent on driving the sisters apart – because Dan knows something about Daisy…
Book 5 in the Yorkshire Romances.

This is a charming read and I was engrossed from beginning to end. A box of tissues is advisable as the story plays out with our hero and heroine. The supporting characters are interesting too. A chocolate delight with a hidden centre.
…There are some really beautiful themes running through this gorgeously crafted novel – love, loss & letting go. The characters are colourfully described and I especially loved the use of email, tweets & facebook posts to enhance the narrative. A fresh, modern approach which illustrated key parts of the story really cleverly.
It’s a really lovely, touching & heartwarming story with an unexpected twist – so good you’ll want to cwtch up with a copy and a cuppa. Loved it – five cwtches!

…I don’t want to say much more than that, because I refuse to spoil this delicious book for anyone. It absolutely must be read. Must. It’s funny. It’s romantic. It’s SO, SO sad. It’s charming. It will SCRATCH at your emotions. My name is Amy, and I’m addicted to contemporary British literature, especially the constant supply I’m getting from Choc Lit.
So, grab a whoopie cushion and a box of tissues. You’ll need both of them to survive this rollercoaster. Maybe read with a friend and hold hands. I wish I had…

….Without wanting to give anything away, there are many plot twists, enough to keep you going and plenty of drama. You’ll feel like a wrung out rag by the time you’ve finished laughing and crying alongside Winter.
A great choice as a summer read on the beach or curled up indoors. Just make sure you have those tissues handy.

…There are some amazing twists and turns in this story, that you make pick up on earlier than the reveal like I did, but in doing so I didn’t feel any less shocked by the story that unfolded. You will laugh, cry and then cry a bit more. Have a box of tissues handy, because this really is a sucker-punch of a story that is still on my mind long after I turned the last page! This is a book that I will definitely be buying for my paperback collection! 6 stars!

… I was riveted to this book from the start having been drawn in by the author’s easy to read but deceptively clever style. As I began to realise what might be going on I was compelled to read more – I devoured this book in a couple of sittings. Even though I could see what was happening I was still surprised by some of the plot developments and the powerful way in which the story unfolded.

Have you ever read a story that simply destroyed you? Ever found yourself crying, almost uncontrollably yet impatiently brushed aside the tears that were blinding you so that you could continue reading? When was the last time you finished a story, closed a book and just sat still letting it flow over you as you came back to this real world of ours?

….Well, by the time I had finished this book I felt like I had gone through all the emotions along with the characters. It is not at all a predictable read and has many twists. In fact, there was one point where I actually put my Kindle down in tears as I was taken by surprise by a very emotional moment and it’s not often that a book will move me to actual tears. As well as a romance, which you would expect to find in a ChocLit novel, there are some big issues explored in this book which are tackled very movingly. A beautifully told story, I couldn’t put it down.
