Coming Home to
Starr's Fall
Welcome to the
town of Starr’s Fall, where Autumn can feel like it goes on forever, and two
people have a chance to fall in love…
The leaves are falling, with a crispness to the air, along
with the scents of coffee and pumpkin spice, past a half-empty street of
shuttered storefronts and a bandstand that has seen better days…
Just like the whole town of Starr’s Fall, thinks Laurie
Ellis – as she and her beloved dog Max head to collect the store keys. Maybe
she has seen better days, too, but she’s certainly ready for a new start—and to
leave her past behind. Still Laurie wonders whether she made a terrible mistake
in coming to lovable but shabby Starr’s Fall. Will she even find customers for
her pet store and bakery, never mind a community to welcome and accept her?
Not according to Joshua Reilly, the handsome but grumpy
manager of the bookstore across the road, who claims he’s never heard of
anything so ridiculous as a bakery for dogs.
But Laurie remains stubbornly undeterred. She’s starting
over, right here. Not least because she has another secret reason for being
here… one she isn’t telling anybody, at least not yet, as it involves her own
tragic past.
What she doesn’t yet know is that a clue to the mystery is
hidden deep in Joshua’s bookstore. And he doesn’t yet realize that Laurie
herself might be the key to mending his own battered heart… for Laurie and
Joshua and the whole town, it’s going to be a fall to remember.

My Review:
A cosy, heart warming story with a fantastic community feel.
The start of a brand new series, I was hooked from the start and really enjoyed
learning more about Starr’s Fall so I cannot wait to return.
The story focuses on Laurie, who decides to relocate to
Starr’s Fall in order to follow a dream of running a pet shop/bakery. We soon
learn she has another, big, reason and why Starr’s Fall wasn’t a random choice
of location.
I really liked Laurie’s attitude to things, she had had a
difficult life and doesn’t have many people in her corner but arriving in this small
but welcoming community does her wonders. She is quick to build connections and
relationships with the locals, who welcome her with open arms.
The most surprising turn of events is her relationship with
grumpy book store owner, Joshua. I thoroughly enjoyed how she helped him change
his ways, that instant spark growing into a adorable romance.
Settling into life in Starr’s Fall, Laurie soon makes
discoveries that give her the answers she has wanted all her life, but is he
prepared for what this will mean?
Brilliant writing and great characters I already adore, Kate Hewitt has created a wonderful fictional
town I’d love to visit, so I will eagerly await the chance to do so but
recommend this book wholeheartedly.
