When Seren’s brother Andrew signs her up to Yorkshire Dating, only for them to recommend that she ‘gets a life’ before they find her a match, Seren has to admit that they may have a point.
She loves her job cooking at an elder day centre and
her little flat, but it’s fair to say her life is a little short of hobbies and
friends. Since she was young Seren has felt safer close to home, but now she’s
a thirty-something divorcee, it’s time for a change.
Change arrives in the shape of alarmingly clever
collie Kez, who Seren offers to take in ‘temporarily’, and kind but mysterious
new colleague Ned. But as Ned and Kez tempt Seren out of her shell, it means
facing her fears. And when Andrew finally reveals the secrets of their
childhood, Seren’s need for safety suddenly makes sense.
A problem shared is a problem halved, and with
friends by her side, Seren might be able to get a life that she loves at last.
A first for me, being a newbie to Jane Lovering books I was excited
to see how this read would pan out and I was not disappointed at all.
I loved it from start to finish, a book that I was reluctant
to put down.
The characters are ‘normal’ and by that I mean, relatable
and comfortable. They are they type of people I’d love to be around and I
really liked them. Seren is a creature of comfort, seeking what she knows and being home over
challenge but she decides it could be time for a change. Change comes initially
in the form of Kez, a super clever Collie and Ned.
The more we learn about Seren, the more we understand her
reluctance to face her fears and put herself out there. With the right support around
her, can she finally be the Seren she longs to be and potentially find romance
where she hopes she will find it.
Warm, tender and a read that gives your emotions a big
squeeze. I really loved the added recipes too! It may be my first but it won’t be my last.
