Readers LOVE Julie Houston:

Julie Houston knows how to pluck the readers heartstrings . If ever anyone feels down, Julies books should be available on prescription... the perfect pick-me-up.

If you are looking to indulge in a tale of Yorkshire and its fabulously feisty, independent women, then Julies latest offering should be your first choice. Packed with hopeless romanticism, witty banter and a satisfying ending, this is a splendid read which I heartily recommend.

This was just what I needed to restart the reading bug and has left me wanting to get stuck into all of the books again, fab characters, great storylines and lots of Will they, wont they situations. I buddy read this with a friend but we both ended up binge reading as you find yourself getting lost in the book and wanting to know whats going to happen next.. I would easily recommend Julie to anyone looking for something to get them out of a book slump or just who wants a good book to get lost in!

I love all of Julie Houston's novels and this one is a cracker. Great characters, a lovely setting and a very entertaining and gripping read. Highly recommended. Don't go on holiday without it!!
