When a local meadow is turned into a bee-friendly allotment, will romance also blossom? New teacher Ceri has enough on her plate trying to keep her class in line and get them excited for her Foxmore wildlife efforts. Then she meets the mysterious – and occasionally grumpy – Damon, whose orchard she’d like to explore.
Rock star Damon has moved to Foxmore to escape the hounding paparazzi following the tragic death of his bandmate. Relocating to somewhere quiet and isolated is just what he needs to recover. Ceri is a ray of sunshine, but he’s not ready to share his dark secrets with her.
As love blooms, will Damon’s hidden past get in the way of their happiness? And can he bring himself to give up his music for love?
A gorgeously tender, uplifting romance in the heart of Wales, perfect for readers of Mandy Baggot, Suzanne Snow and Sue Moorcroft.
This was a really cute romantic novel that I actually enjoyed reading and an unexpected romance between a rockstar and a teacher.
Damon is a rockstar of a popular band. When one of his bandmates died in a car accident in Berlin, Damon, wanted to get away from the hounding press and moved to Foxmore for some quiet time. He meets Ceri, who is a teacher who is struggling to keep the class in line. A romance blossoms develops Ceri and Damon and it is the story after that.
I always enjoyed reading Lilac Mills’ stories as it kind of gives a burst of sunshine. This book is no exception. Damon and Ceri seemed to have chemistry between them which made them fall in love with each other. The way Ceri helps Damon with weeding his grandmother’s garden and how slowly they started falling in love was too cute. The scenic countryside descriptions was beautifully descriptive and makes the reader feel like they are actually in the countryside with Damon and Ceri. Overall I actually enjoyed reading this romance novel and worth four stars.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Canelo for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
