There’s a newcomer to the village of Heartcross and
she’s never been more in need of a friend. Ella is ready to start
afresh ––and that could mean there’s love on the horizon in the form of the
gorgeous Roman, the local water taxi driver. Every day Roman is there to ferry
Ella to the restaurant on the other side of the lake and every night he makes
sure she gets home safe. But Roman has secrets of his own…
Can the Love Heart
Lane community offer Ella a chance of a new life? Or will the ghosts of her
past catch up with her?
I’m a really big fan of
Christie’s and the Love Heart Lane series is one of my favourites. I like how
Christie creates such wonderful settings and relatable and likeable characters –
The Heartcross community is like a familiar group of friends now and I’m fully
invested in so many of their lives. It’s always a pleasure reading the next
book and catching up with old favourites as well as new characters.
The Lake House is our fifth book
in this series, although each can be read as a standalone I highly recommend reading
all in this series.
Ella is our leading character this
book and she finds herself in Heartcross after some serious trouble. She is at
rock bottom because of other people’s secrets and deception, now she needs to start
again, if she can. What a lovely character, I felt so sorry (and angry) for
her, hoping that whatever happened it could all come good with a fresh start.
Roman instantly gained my
interest and affection but what is he being so secretive about. Can Ella take
any more lies and secrets? Can she trust him or not, it’s hard for her to tell
after all she has been through. For Roman, he wants to do the best for everyone
even if that means running into trouble himself.
The star of the show is most definitely
Dolores. What a great character – she jumps off the page and into your heart. She
deserves the adulation she receives.
I adored this story and the
Lake House just sounds like the most phenomenal place – I’d go in a heartbeat
if I could.
It’s the brilliant sense of
community that you get with this book, yet again, that makes it so good. Christie
doesn’t shy away from including issues and problems whilst creating a cosy and heart-warming
read. You feel uplifted and happy for the characters, like they are friends. I
couldn’t put it down, perfect cosy up and enjoy an afternoon type read.
