My comments:
Really loved the second book in this series, this was mainly about Livia, Janey, Ellis, Logan and Gill arriving in the valley. I suspect this series is not over as it sort of tended with the two new doctors arriving so I suspect we're going to be seeing more of these characters which I hope we will be.
Would not really call this a romance as such this was more a saga there was a bit of romance between the few characters who already had partners however not with the new ones. I was expecting it to build up to Ellice and Livia geting together and Logan and Janey potentially although there was no hint of that so weather that's the plan or not we may have to wait and see. Loved the way the book ended and the secret that was kept. Really hope more romance is in the offing as there are some lovely characters in this saga who deserve a happy ending.

She's done it again! The Secrets of Eastby End is the second in the series and we have the delightful characters from the previous book plus the adorable Walter Crossley.
Intertwined with them are new characters Livia and Jamie, Ellis and Gill - all with interesting back stories that are woven in beautifully to create an absolutely brilliant read.
Can't wait for the third book!

could be better
Not half as good as the 1st book and did find it boring in some places and very repetitive. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and early awaited this one but was disappointed

Book had little plot and was obviously a set up for the next book in the series. Often repetitive.

This was formula Anna Jacob’s, simply written with predictable story lines and unrealistic dialogue. I had to skim the last 50 pages. It will probably be the last one of hers I that read.
