Worth Remembering

English Rose #1

by Holly James

Worth Remembering is a passionate and heart-wrenching love story that will surprise at every turn…

Running into her head-over-heels first love during a week’s holiday in Mallorca with her spirited friend Lou was not what Samantha Hillcrest had planned.

When sparks fly with Gabriel on the idyllic Mediterranean island she wonders how she’ll ever be able to return home to her husband and grown-up children, pretending her life hasn’t been turned upside down.

Caught between family commitments and the red-hot, sizzling chemistry she shares with her love from twenty-five years ago—Samantha faces an impossibly heart-breaking choice.

A stand-alone novel, Worth Remembering is the first story in the English Rose series which follows a group of authentic English women on their complicated romantic journeys.

A strong debut which reminded me very much of Suzy Duffy and those lovely pastel-covered books where women take themselves off to Tuscany to rediscover their lives. Here, forty-something Samantha goes on a trip with her friend to Spain, where she worked as a tour guide in her 20s. She reconnects with her first and only real love, Gabriel, and realises her marriage is loveless and she can do better. Yes, there is an element of cheating here, which some readers won't like, but given the odiousness of Sam's husband I didn't mind it. Gabriel is divine, and although nothing's really much of a surprise, I enjoyed the humour. I hope we see more of Lou and her toyboy ;)

Wow

I wasn't sure about this book when I started reading it but it is definitely a winner. I almost never leave reviews unless they are 5 star or total losers. I want my 5 star winners to be read by others, and other readers to be spared the misery of wasting time on the losers.

Lovely

We've all probably had a holiday romance, or that one person from the past that sticks in you our soul and refuses to be forgotten. A lovely story doing just that.
