Vet Molly has always been career driven and focussed on caring for her animals, but when she meets a gorgeous Mystery Man at a conference and their connection is off the charts, well, one night off work won’t hurt anyone…except the next morning he’s vanished and all Molly knows about him is his first name.
Three months later, back in Love Heart Lane,
everyone loves the story of Molly's amazing one-night stand. It's so
unlike her! But when Mystery Man turns up walking his dog through Primrose Park
and their night together seems to mean nothing to him, Molly needs her friends
and neighbours more than ever. And especially when she’s left with the most
unexpected of surprises…
I am a huge fan of the author and especially this book
series. It is the sixth book in the Love Heart Lane Series although written so
it can be a standalone as they all are. I would recommend reading the others,
just because they are such great stories, but that isn’t necessary to follow
the storyline or get to know these main characters (I did love hearing a little
about one’s we’ve already heard from though!)
Molly is the successful, confident, and popular local vet.
She has almost everything she wants in life but feels there may be one thing
missing and it might be time to do something about it. She’s known locally as
the dog whisperer and wants to put these talents to use by setting up dog
behaviour classes in Primrose Park. As she is always determined to be the best
at whatever she does, she goes on a course at a local hotel. There she
literally bumps into the man of her dreams and after one amazing night they
part ways and Molly goes back to work on her business.
When Molly bumps into this mystery man again her world
changes in the most unexpected ways, the problem? The man isn’t exactly how she
remembers him, in fact she barely recognises him. Getting the community
together to help her cause Molly isn’t afraid of standing up for herself or
others, but does she really want to do everything alone or is she hoping to get
him involved.
I really liked Molly, she’s not shy and not one for mixing
her words. She’s capable and puts other peoples’ feelings before her own, to
her detriment sometimes. She’s not necessarily good at following advice though
as she is headstrong and determined once she gets an idea in her head. I was
hoping she would be the one to help poor Dixie – whose own daughter was truly
awful beyond words- they had a lovely relationship.
Cam is a difficult leading man, I wanted to really love him,
but I have to admit at first I didn’t really warm to him, especially with how
badly he acted toward Molly. I was 100% on her side and felt that she deserved
better but as his story came to light, I saw the type of person he could be and
I changed my mind. They did have a great
chemistry and testament to Christie Barlow’s writing, Cam won me over by the
end.
A quick shout out for Darling. I absolutely loved this crazy
dog although I’d be wearing my wellies around him. Darling added some funny
moments but turned into quite the hero too!
Always great to be back in this community setting, I feel
like I could visit and know all the locals and each book uncovers more.
Christie has created a wonderful, caring community that I love returning to
time and time again.
The writing flows nicely and the story moves a long at a
great pace. I found this visit to be dramatic and yet still able to make me
laugh and smile whilst reading. It only took me a few hours to sit and read
this in one glorious sitting, I can’t recommend highly enough – a wonderful bit
of escapism. Jump into Primrose Park if you want a nice summer read.
Christie Barlow goes from strength to strength; I always
look forward to her next read. Primrose Park is brilliant, and I highly
recommend.
