Story
At Bagley Hall, a notoriously wild, but increasingly academic, independent, crammed with the children of the famous, trouble is afoot. The ambitious and fatally attractive headmaster, Hengist Brett-Taylor, hatches a plan to share the facilities of his school with Larkminster Comprehensive - known locally, as 'Larks'. His reasons for doing so are purely financial, but he is encouraged by the opportunities the scheme gives him for frequent meetings with Janna Curtis, the dynamic new head of Larks, who has been drafted in to save what is a fast-sinking school from closure.

Story
Hetty Longden's mother thinks that looking after Great Uncle Samuel's crumbling stately home will be just the thing for Hetty's broken heart. Hetty doesn't mind; at least she can be miserable in private. But 'private' is a relative term in a village which revolves around the big house. Particularly when you are expected to thwart Great Uncle Samuel's awful heir and his nefarious plans for his inheritance. Pitchforked into the community's fight to save the manor, Hetty has no time to wallow.

Lainey has just lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK, quite a big fib) helps nail her dream job. Soon she's living in a stunning house by the sea, fending off obsessed fans for a retired - if far-from-retiring - actor and organising his charming but chaotic family. Yes, everyone thinks she's part of a couple, and it's tricky keeping this secret. But at least she's not looking for love: with her disastrous relationship history, men are definitely off the agenda.

With nothing but her two green thumbs, Marnie takes a job as a gardener, which comes with a little cottage to make her own.

Summary
Few women in Compton Magna could fail to notice the arrival of Luca O'Brien. The village stud's new manager, known internationally as the Horse Maker, brims softly spoken sex appeal from his wild blonde curls to his leather boot soles. Gossipy riding quartet The Saddle Bags are all smitten; young village mum Carly Turner wants to learn his healing skills, and bored housewife Monique Austen longs to take him straight to bed. Only his old friend Ronnie Percy sees how much Luca's changed from the rising star she met a decade ago, the golden armour masking deep secrets. But as Ronnie soon discovers, Luca's slow smile and sympathetic hands belie a volcanic core. And when his past catches up with him, the heat is on to save the stud.

Brilliant
I loved this book and the whole series and I hope there’s more to come. I really want to hear more about Pax, Ronnie, Luca and the Saddlebags. My only gripe is I preferred the previous narrator Jilly Bond and struggled to get on with the book for a while because my brain wouldn’t let me get past that! I’m so glad I persevered because the story is great and I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

The Compton Magna series continues
I loved the Country Set and was really happy when Country Lovers became available on Audible narrated by the author herself. Absolutely brilliant and feel bereft now it's finished. I hope it's not too long until the next one. Fans of Jilly Coopers Rutshire chronicles will love the books/audibles but I feel Fiona Walker has just pipped her to the post. Fiona don't make it too long until the next one please.

Normally enjoyable narration of Fiona Walker books
I enjoy these light hearted books but the Scottish accent put on by the narrator was appalling as a Scot it sounded like the worst stereotypes ever teeth clenchingly awful! However I did at least enjoy this follow on and I assume with more tales to tell from Compton Manor worth the listen as long as you can stand the awful accent!
