Finding Happiness at Heritage View - Helen Rolfe

 

Welcome back to Heritage Cove, the little village by the sea brimming with character, community and friendship. The perfect place to fall in love…

Running Heritage View Stables is everything Hazel ever dreamed of. She loves working with the horses and managing the business with her brother. But after a terrible incident, she’s not sure whether she'll ever be able to put things back the way they were.

Gus is ready to start over. He’s moved him and his ten-year-old daughter Abigail to Heritage Cove, where he’s opening his own vet practice. Everything is falling into place, especially as he watches Abigail start to come out of her shell for the first time since the accident.

Neither Hazel nor Gus is looking for love, but could they each be what the other needs? And is happiness even a possibility when their pasts won’t let them go?

Join new friends and old, as summer comes to Heritage Cove.

My Review:

I love the Heritage Cove series of books and ‘Finding Happiness At Heritage View’ (the fifth book in the series) is a smasher. I just couldn’t put it down I was enjoying it so much.

Not matter how long since the last visit to the Cove, it doesn’t take long to feel the sense of community as you read, catching up with characters you love and stories you have read. That being said, you could read this as a standalone, there is a enough backstory information included – but I do highly recommend the other books, they are simply brilliant.

Fantastic writing, great storylines and realistic, loveable characters – Helen Rolfe has genuinely created one of the nicest fictional communities. If only we could go and visit for real. I suppose I will have to be happy with our fictional jaunts with each book – please Helen don’t break our hearts and say there’s no more!

Hazel is a great character but she has her own demons, at first we don’t understand what they are, we slowly learn to understand the problem and hope that she can find the support and help she needs before it’s too late.

New vet, Gus, and his daughter Abigail are very welcome additions to the local community as is their horse. They have both been through so much and a fresh start may just help them move forward.

Hazel needs a boost to her confidence and recognises the in Abigail; the relationship they develop is very sweet and it benefits both as the book progresses.

Gus’ priority if his daughter and wanting to make life as easy for her as possible. He develops a friendship with Hazel but struggles to understand why she stops herself getting too close. There is definitely a spark between the two of them but can something become romantic if they are both needing to get over their own issues.

Absolutely adored the setting of the stables and getting to hear about the different horses. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting new characters, catching up with old friends and spending more time in The Cove; I’m already looking forward to the next visit!

I cannot recommend this book enough, perfect for a hot summers day.
