Dottie Perks has forged a new life for herself in London, with a new job and a loving boyfriend. She's safe, happy and loved. What more could she ask for?

But when Dottie visits her home in Brighton, the last person she expects to see is her first love, Ralph Bennett. As old feelings come rushing to the surface, Dottie struggles to deny the strong chemistry between them. She can't throw away everything to be with Ralph...can she?

The combination of author and narrator has made these two books one of the best listening experiences to date. The characters are so believable that I feel as though I know them and must have grown up with the author as we knew exactly the same people! These books are so heartwarming, human honest. If you’re reading reviews to decide if the books are worth spending that precious monthly credit, then don’t hesitate; start with See Saw Lane and follow on with this one. If you’ve found it in the free list then download both books very quickly before somebody cottons on that these are works of contemporary genius and asks for a credit. Fantastic narrator, wish they were all as good as this one.

Don’t hesitate; download this book and enjoy…

I enjoyed the story, especially after the first book. The narrator almost ruined it for me. I had trouble figuring out who was talking, except for when she used that horrible stupid voice that she used for Rita. I was almost tempted to fast forward so that I didn’t have to listen to it!!

Their love for each other

I loved catching up with Dotty and old friends and meeting new ones. There are plenty of new quirky characters to love in this book; they often made me laugh throughout the book.

I have to say, I was more than a little disgusted over Dotty’s obsession with Ralph and of Ralph’s messing Dotty about while he tried to grow up and figure out what the heck he wants. While he figures it out, he leaves a lot of broken hearts. Every decision he makes leaves a trail of broken hearts, including his own. And Dotty…how STUPID is she that she falls for the same thing over and over again.🤷‍♀️ />
The other thing in this book that REALLY got on my nerves was the narration for Dotty’s sister Rita. It was totally OBNOXIOUS!

Matthew — he seems like the perfect match for Dotty. I hope he will repeat in Book Three and we’ll see the last of Ralph.

I’m looking forward to Book 3 and catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.💕

EXCELLENT FOLLOW-UP STORY; LOVE ALL THE GUNNY CHARACTERS!
