Story
When Laurel returns to the village of Middledip, she’s looking for a quiet life. Adjusting to her recent divorce, she’s ready to spend some time getting back on her feet amidst the glorious snow-dusted countryside. Yet, life in Middledip is far from straightforward. Coming to the aid of her sister, Rea, as she navigates her own troubles, Laurel barely has a moment to think about where her own life is going. However, time stands still when she sees her old flame, Grady Cassidy - and it’s soon as if they’ve never been apart.

Great story, but...
I loved the story, but found the sex scenes a bit irrelevant at times; as if the author or the editor feel they make the story more attractive; quod non.
The narrator's American accent is irritating in some characters and some narrative. Her 'proper' English didn't sound very natural and disfigured some characters.
All this said, the story is still very enjoyable, worth listening to.

Funny, enjoyable and undemanding romance
What did you like best about this story?
I love the way Sue Moorcroft draws quite elaborate plots, and also draws you easily into whatever world she's writing about.
Have you listened to any of Jennifer Woodward’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Jennifer Woodward is a great expressive actor. Perfect for this, as the main character is American. Her way of making her English characters all sound like debutantes who occasionally slip into the Thames Estuary is quite comical - but doesn't really detract from a great performance.
Any additional comments?
Sue Moorcroft's books are well crafted and full of surprises. Here, I was rather irritated at one of her plot devices. (I'm not going to spoil the plot). This book was told from the perspective of Honor, the protagonist. We shared her history, her doubts, anxieties and hopes. Also her illusions and misunderstandings. We were on her side. As we're deep into the book Honor suddenly drops a bombshell. She's been keeping a big secret. Not just from the other characters but from us, the readers. I felt let down and started to mistrust the story and the writer. I later recovered, but wish the writer could have worked out the story in a different way.

3 ½ stars. A good story. I enjoyed it.
Interesting characters.
Like her other books this has a women’s fiction feel - a lot of story about everyday characters, but it’s definitely romance.
I liked things Honor did to stop a bully from hurting Rufus.
I liked the plot of Honor’s current husband doing bad things causing her to leave. Then he wants her back and does more bad things. That was a good story.
I did not like the first fight/misunderstanding between Martyn and Honor. He was mad at something that didn’t feel right to me - like the author was stretching for a conflict to write about. A later separation/misunderstanding was more believable.
If you’re looking for steamy sex you won’t find it here. There is one sex scene vaguely done which was good for relationship development.
I didn’t think about the narrator Jennifer Woodward, which means she was good.
Genre: contemporary romance, divorce
