Book Blurb:
Three days to fall in love. Six years to try to forget. Ellie didn’t expect to fall in love while interrailing through Europe. But she also didn’t expect to meet a man like Ash. Three blistering days in Lisbon is all it takes to form an unforgettable connection—a bond deep enough for them to scrap their itineraries and plan to meet again in Spain. But Ellie arrives late, and Ash is nowhere to be found. Six years later, Ellie has landed her dream job working as a gardener for a viscount and viscountess on their sprawling five-hundred-year-old estate in Wales. She finds peace amongst the towering topiary hedges and colorful gardens, but her idyll is shattered when Ash crashes back into her life. And when it becomes clear why he didn’t show in Madrid, her heart breaks anew—for what the truth means for their fate. But they have never been able to resist each other, and when the sparks of their attraction fly, Ellie’s life will catch flame. She will have to make a choice.
My Review:
I liked the book blurb, I'm a sucker for a second chance romance and touring Europe was a plus. Unfortunately most of the time I was bored. The first chapters where the main characters meet and explore Spain was fun. I enjoyed reading about the locations and especially the food. After that it went sideways and became a bad Hallmark movie. For the female lead to wind up working on the estate of the male lead would lead you to think of a happy reunion but it did not. The overlying issue throughout the story is a lack of communication. People talk a lot and say nothing. When it mattered most the characters retreated to their corners and it was annoying. Thank goodness for the last chapter HEA.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
