About this listen

Compton Magna and Nether Bagot sit high on the Fosse Hills to either side of the Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border, just half a mile apart. They form the backdrop to this rich story of secrets and rivalries, as glamorous Ronnie Ledwell returns to take up the reins of her father's horse breeding stud farm, years after she scandalised family and friends by eloping with her lover. News of her return will well and truly set the cat among the pigeons....

A delight to hang out in horsey heaven again. Slightly spoiled by the narrator’s caricatures- thoroughly undermines any romance and gets in the way of any attempt at characterisation.
Please commission the sequel, Audible!

It's not often a book makes me chuckle to myself as I'm listening but this one really does, it's the little details and quirky jokes that make this something special. I was new to Fiona Walker so I was pleased with this real find. It's a gem of a book and Jilly Bond is really bringing out the humour.

I unexpectedly enjoyed this book. The storyline is a little far fetched but so what. It is a combination of escapism, animals, cookery and friendships wrapped up in the effort and challenges of everyday life and living. At 26hrs I had thought it would drag, but found it a great accompaniment to gardening and working around the house. It made me laugh out loud at times. I’d recommend it is you are looking for some light relief. I’ll be purchasing the sequel.

I thought this was absolutely brilliant. I loved every minute. The narrator is excellent too. Really can’t wait to get going on book number two in the trilogy. I’ve only read one other novel by Fiona Walker before now (I think it was called “The Woman Who Feel in Love For A Week” ) and I loved that too and gave it five stars. Fiona Walker is fast becoming one of my favourite writers of romantic comedies. There are books you can’t finish, then there are books you just can’t put down and race to finish, and then there is that really special ‘breed’ of books: books you can’t put down and yet don’t want to finish and leave the wonderful world and characters behind. I’m so pleased this one has a sequel. After a truly dreadful year with very serious illness/Covid and then the horrors of “long Covid” (now fully recovered thankfully) Fiona Walker got me through the last few weeks of that. I am very grateful — this book was a real uplift during some truly dark times. Thank you Fiona Walker for such a wonderful, entertaining and well-written read. Your characters and the world they inhabit spring off the page. Can’t wait to read all your other books.

Wonderful. Six stars if possible
