A feel-good story of new beginnings set in a gorgeous country village.

'A lovely story of finding yourself and discovering what home means. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Loved it.' Jessica Redland

After losing her job in New York, Amber Green isn’t looking forward to visiting her godmother in the sleepy village of Cranbridge. With its empty lanes and rundown shops, it’s hardly a place to mend her lonely heart.

But when Amber discovers that Cranbridge Stores, owned by her godmother Cathy and son Josh, is under threat of financial ruin, she realises that her skills as a window dresser might just be able to help save the struggling shop.

When disaster strikes, Amber and Josh must unite to save both the shop and the village from flooding.

Can Cranbridge Stores become the heart of the village once more?

And as the village begins to come back to life, perhaps Amber will discover a reason to stay…

A feel-good listen perfect for fans of Katie Fforde and Milly Johnson

Loved this cozy romance. Adored the setting in a quaint town and the gradual build up in the love relationship. I also loved the character Amber’s growth in the story. The relationships between the village community was so endearing and added to the overall warmth in this story. Definitely would read again to enjoy the cozy feelings all over again!

If you're looking for a cozy fireplace story to curl up with, this is definitely the one! The characters are easy with normal, understandable, and relatable nuances. The story reads fluidly with no unnecessary twists and turns. The narrator's voice is soothing and pleasant. Aesthetically, everything about this book is great.

Some stories take excessive liberties with drama and sometimes that's ok. But, there are times when you don't want a story that makes you want to throw something in fury or growl in frustration at the antics of the characters. This story is simple with a few hiccups that add depth to the story without making it complex. The hesitations of the characters are "normal" in that they are not erratic or ridiculous. You truly understand and empathize with them and how they act. They are loveable in their own ways. Its a beautifully soothing story.

The narrator does an awesome job. There are a few places where she pauses too early in the sentence and thus throws off the flow, but it doesn't take away from the story. Those instances are also few and far between. I found her voice gentle and appropriate. She gives proper life to each character.

Such a simple and cute story!

I chose this book only because it was narrated by Helen Keeley, who makes her characters sound like people I would like to get to know. The story is sweet and worth a listen!

Best narrator ever!

This story took me away and placed me right where the author wanted me to be! I loved the writing and I absolutely loved the narrator voice and her ability of being a great storyteller. If you want to escape whatever is happening around you - listen to this and smile.

Yes!!!
