    About this audiobook

    Fall in back in love with life in this gripping read about fate and second chances.
    The eagerly awaited new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author.

    Thirty year old Izzy Sweetwell has a peaceful life. She lives in the sleepy village of Halfhidden with her aunt with her aunt Debo, who runs the local kennels, a home from home for waifs and strays in the area.

    You couldn’t say that Izzy’s life is particularly exciting, but that’s just how she likes it, she’s bid farewell to a dramatic life since a terrible accident when she was a teenager and for now, she’s perfectly content with her aunt and the dogs in Halfhidden.

    So what happens when someone forces Izzy to fall in love with life again? Will her painful past stand in the way of her future happiness? Can you make an omlette without breaking a few eggs?

      Trisha Ashley's books are always good reads, immersing the reader in the English countryside and small villages. That said, this wasn't one of my favorites. Izzy has returned to the small village of Halfhidden to open her textile business and live with her dog-crazy Aunt Debo. Izzy grew up here but her teenage years were marred by a fatal car accident of which she has no memory. She wants to remember what really happened, but there are a lot of secrets to bring to light first. Rufus is the new owner of the estate where Izzy and her aunt (and a lot of dogs) live. Though neither is particularly looking for romance, Izzy and Rufus gravitate towards each other as the new people in town.Ms. Ashley always writes good stories about older women who are maybe ready to settle down. I certainly enjoyed this one though this one wasn't a particular favorite, 3 1/2 stars rounded up. Maybe I just read too many of her books in a row, but this felt a bit repetitive. Still, it's worth the read as are all her books.
