What happens when love takes you to unexpected places?
Heather Douglas appears to have it all. But living on a farm
in the Scottish Highlands with her partner, Rory Fraser, all while
bringing up their adorable toddler, Harry, isn’t easy. As a former
librarian, Heather is worried that she’ll never fully fit into life on Fraser
Farm. And after the death of her beloved mum five years ago, Heather feels
lost, as well as guilty for holding back accepting Rory’s marriage proposal
because she can’t imagine her wedding without her mother.
So when ex-boyfriend, Stewart, appears in the village of
Glendale, it’s a shock to the system. The man who broke her heart years ago now
has big plans for the neighbouring farm and wants Heather to be part of the
development. Knowing that she’s living a very different life to the one they
had planned at university leaves Heather wondering if she has made the right
choices since she and Stewart broke up. Especially when things start to go very
wrong on the farm ...
This Christmas, Heather will need to face her fears and let go of the
past or risk losing everything. She will need love, faith, and a whole lot of
hope!
Return to the beautiful Highlands village of Glendale with the latest
book in the bestselling Glendale series – the perfect cosy, uplifting, romantic
read for fans of Heidi Swain, Milly Johnson and Holly Martin.
It’s always a pleasure to read the next in a series you have
grown to love. Here we are with book 3 in this charming series by Victoria
Walters, and Glendale is a community that I feel right at home in. This visit
focuses on the story of Heather, who we have come across in the books. If you
haven’t had the pleasure of reading them, don’t worry it can read as a standalone,
but you’d enjoy catching up on the action from the first two so I highly
recommend.
Heather, Rory and their gorgeous son are quite the adorable
family unit. Heather is growing used to life as a farmers ‘wife’ and living on
the farm, mucking in and helping out more and more. She is a full-on worrier,
and it often weighs heavy on her; thinking things will fail, or that the worst
will always happen.
I do love Heathers character but I often found myself so
frustrated with her, I wanted to just reach out and tell her to open up,
communicate with those she loved more and it would help no end. She is a great
character though and you can’t help but love her for finding her inner strength
and showing those around she is indeed tough enough and has got what it takes.
There is drama, suspense, an absolute stinker of a bad guy
who could do with being taught a thing or two. I was captivated by the ups and
downs of Heathers story, life certainly isn’t dull and especially not on this
farm.
As with any book series, it was great to revisit old
characters and see how they were getting on, it does feel like seeing old
friends.
Such a charming feel to these stories, and this book is
perfect for cosying up and enjoying. I read in a couple of sittings as was so
involved in the story. It is such a feel good story, a lot of drama to keep you
on the edge of your seat! I admit I had moments where I thought Heather was
going to do something I wouldn’t be able to forgive her for.
Showing that you can push yourself and step outside of your comfort
zone to find what you truly want and what can make you happy can be the last
thing you think it would be. This book is a well written and heartful story
that I would recommend for this upcoming season.
