Summary

Welcome to Swell Valley - where the scandal is in a class of its own.... The second book in the Swell Valley series by best-selling author Tilly Bagshawe.

Nestled in a glorious patchwork of fields, surrounded by chocolate box villages, Wraggbottom farm means everything to Gabe and Laura Baxter. But love and tradition doesn't pay the bills. Luckily, Laura has an idea that will share the secret of her happy (if sometimes muddy) country life: producing a reality show that will save the farm!

Until the interfering new vicar, 'Call-me-Bill', takes it upon himself to lead a protest against the show. Suddenly the village is divided; even Gabe is torn between his new found fame and his old, happy life.

With so much at stake for her village and her marriage, will Laura be able to weather the storm or will her big idea turn out to be her biggest mistake?

Jilly Cooper-esque

A small town divides itself over the filming of a reality show. There are a whole load of characters, each given generous storylines. You'll enjoy it.

Gentle

This is a story that catches the imagination in a gentle but absorbing way, the story takes you up hills and down the dales of a wonderful but very English village.
So easy to listen too,

Loved it

Great story, at times you find yourself willing the characters to say a certain thing or do something different... I got quite invested into the story.
