Applemore Bay #3
Midsummer House
Self confessed control freak Charlotte Fraser takes a leap out of her comfort zone with a one-night stand in the city. There's no way, after all, that she's ever going to bump into the handsome millionaire businessman in her tiny village in the Scottish Highlands…
Back home, she's determined to get her hands on Midsummer House, the dream property for her holiday cottage business—even if that means giving in to the slightly odd request by the eccentric owner that she house-sit for three months while she takes a trip around Europe to make her mind up about selling.
High-flying financial trader Rob Jones is at an unexpected loose end when his long-lost aunt Frances calls looking for some advice. He hasn't been back to visit since the tragedy which cut the threads that bound his family together, but deciding to make amends, he heads to the Highlands to stay at her place and help out with some repairs…
With both having a reason to stay, it's a battle of wills to see who'll give in and move out first. Rob realises that Charlotte is determined nobody should know about their one night stand—but with the undeniable attraction between them, how easy is it going to be?
As the village of Applemore casts a welcoming spell on Rob, he starts to wonder if he's got his priorities in life all wrong… but if he stays put, where does that leave Charlotte's plans for Midsummer House?
Escape to the Scottish Highlands with this small town tale full of friendship, love and romance, from the bestselling author of The Winter Cottage and The Flower Farm.

Namens uitgeverij Zomer en Keuning ‘Midzomer in Applemore’ – geschreven door Rachael
Lucas – ontvangen als recensie-exemplaar, waarvoor nogmaals bedankt.
Dit boek is het derde deel in de Applemore Bay-serie. De voorgaande twee delen heb ik nog
niet gelezen, maar mijn ervaring is dat dit deel prima als losstaand verhaal te lezen is.
Zeg je zoetsappig, idyllisch en smalltown vibes; dan zeg je Midzomer in Applemore.
De omgeving waarin het verhaal zich afspeelt is zeer levendig neergezet. Je waant je echt in
de Schotse Hooglanden. Niet dat ik er ooit ben geweest, maar door dit verhaal kun je het
jezelf wel goed inbeelden. Het maakte me ook direct nieuwsgierig om deze omgeving met
eigen ogen eens te gaan bekijken. Ook de smalltown sfeer welke in dit verhaal hing vond ik
prettig. Rachael weet deze sfeer op een fijne manier terug te brengen in het verhaal. Oke,
het had ook wel de typerende kenmerken van een smalltown, maar dat maakte het niet
minder leuk.
Over de schrijfstijl en hoe het verhaal verder is neergezet heb ik een wat gemixte mening.
Het duurde me soms net wat te lang voordat er een beetje vaart in het verhaal kwam. Ik heb
niets tegen op een slowburn en weet dat ook zeker wel te waarderen, maar er had op
sommige momenten net iets meer pit in mogen zitten. Terugkijkend op het geheel kwam het
tempo voor mij persoonlijk pas echt bij de laatste 100 bladzijdes. Ik kreeg richting het einde
wel weer meer het gevoel dat het verhaal ‘even’ snel afgerond moest worden. De langzame
start werd namelijk ruimschoots en misschien wel iets teveel gecompenseerd door het zeer
vlotte einde.
Qua personages vond ik het verhaal ook zeker positief. De hoofdpersonages Charlotte en
Rob zijn op een levendige en realistische manier in het verhaal neergezet. Ook wordt er
regelmatig teruggekeerd naar hun verledens, waardoor je ook een stukje van hun
achtergrond beter leert kennen. Ook vond ik de ontwikkelingen die zij op persoonlijk vlak
doormaken een pluspunt qua realisme. Rachael weet in de opbouw van haar personages
ook veel emoties en karaktereigenschappen terug te laten komen, waardoor de personages
ook erg tastbaar aanvoelde.
De POV’s van Charlotte en Rob wisselen elkaar op een vlot tempo af. Hierdoor zat er,
ondanks het ontbreken van enige vaart, toch nog een prima tempo in het geheel. Persoonlijk
vond ik deze afwisseling ook een slimme zet van de auteur omdat de gebeurtenissen van
beide personages elkaar ook opvolgen.
Ik had het misschien alleen nog wat leuker gevonden als Charlotte en Rob in het ik-
perspectief waren neergezet in plaats van in het vertellende perspectief, maar dat ik een
persoonlijke voorkeur.
Midzomer in Applemore is een boek waar ik mezelf zeker mee vermaakt heb. Ik ben blij dat
ik de Applemore en de bewoners heb leren kennen.
Mocht je ook houden van een heerlijke feelgood met de leuke sfeer van smalltown dan is dit
boek zeker een aanrader.

Midsummer House is the latest instalment in Rachael Lucas’s Applemore Bay series. This book focuses on Charlotte, who has an out of character one night stand with Rob, who then appears in Applemore.
It was lovely to return to Applemore, and see how all the characters are getting on, and to spend more time with Charlotte, who I’ve always liked. You don’t need to have read any of the other books in the series to enjoy this one, however.
I also enjoyed exploring a new location, Midsummer House, which was a delightful place, with some animals that were great characters themselves!
This book was really relaxing to read, with things moving at a gentle pace. However, it kept my interest too, I was drawn into the story and the concerns of the characters.
Overall, this was a lovely, relaxing story, that felt like a pleasant summer’s day. I’m looking forward to Christmas at Applemore, which is the next book in the series.
I was given a free copy of this book, my opinions are my own.

Charlotte Fraser has always been the sensible one of the four Fraser siblings. She was only ten when their mother unexpectedly left them and she became the unofficial mother of the family, with help from Joan, their housekeeper.
Now she’s an adult and on a business trip she steps completely out of character and has a one-night-stand with a very handsome man. Afterward she slips away before he’s awake and goes back to her real life. Back at home at Applemore, she agrees to house and animal sit for an elderly neighbor. She’s always wanted to buy the neighbor’s beautiful old home, Midsummer House, and the neighbor tells her she will sell her the house when she returns if Charlotte still wants it after living there. Charlotte rents her own house out but when she moves in to Midsummer House, she’s shocked to find the owner’s nephew has moved in. And he’s none other than her one-night-stand.
This book can be read as a standalone but it’s really more fun to start with the first book, The Winter Cottage, and get to know the Fraser’s and the other people in the village. I read the last book first and was a little confused about who all the characters were so recommend you start with the first one.
This was really a three and half star book for me. I had a hard time liking Charlotte. She was so afraid of letting Rob know she was attracted to him that she was downright mean. She loves her family dearly but won’t let them get very close to her. And she often lets her temper influence her decisions without getting the facts. Rob was a great love interest, though, and there was chemistry between them but there would have been more if Charlotte had been different.
Overall I liked this series a lot and I’m a bit sad I’ve finished it. I felt like I’d been to the Scottish Highlands by the time I finished all of the books.

This was my first read by this author, and it certainly won’t be my last one!
Such a gorgeous setting and lovely characters, I was soon drawn into Charlotte’s fascinating story.
I loved the slow burn romance, and I adored seeing how Charlotte relaxed into her situation, becoming her own person in the process.
Such a lovely community too, I’m eager to catch up with all the previous books now!

Lovely Heart Warming Story
I am really enjoying Escape to the Highlands. Midsummer House was very Enjoyable. They can be read as stand alone but reading the first book introduces you to the characters that appear in the next book. I do wish there was a little preface at the beginning of each book as a brief reminder of the characters but that is a small thing. Looking forward to the next book.

I raced through this one to get to the Christmas instalment, and now I'm paying for that with only a sketchy memory of the story. This one is about Charlotte Fraser (eldest sister?), who runs a successful short term accommodation business in Applemore, in the Scottish Highlands. When the possibility of buying Midsummer House comes along, Charlotte is keen to add it to her portfolio. She arranges with the owner to house-sit the property for a few months, mainly looking after the animals but also getting a feel for the place. But at the last minute she discovers she's going to be sharing the place with the owner's nephew, Rob. Uncharacteristically, it turns out that Charlotte has some history with Rob...
A nice story that rounds out the Fraser tale just a little more. Polly Fraser is up next!

Ik weet niet hoe Rachael Lucas het voor elkaar krijgt, maar ik vind ieder boek in deze serie leuker dan het voorgaande. Ik heb eerder al genoten van 'Het winterhuisje in Applemore' en 'Lentebloemen in Applemore'. Charlotte Fraser, de oudste zus van de Frasers, vond ik in beide boeken een leuk personage. Ik had dus ook veel zin om haar beter te leren kennen in het derde deel van deze heerlijke feelgoodserie.
Charlotte Fraser voelt als mijn fictieve tweelingzus. Dezelfde naam, allebei linkshandig, controlfeaks en dol op lijstjes. Echt hilarisch hoe herkenbaar zij voor mij is. Ook vond ik het heerlijk om in dit deel weer terug te keren naar het knusse dorpje Applemore in de Schotse Hooglanden. De beeldende en gedetailleerde beschrijvingen van de mooie omgeving en de ontwikkelingen op het landgoed van Applemore maakten dat het voelde als thuiskomen en ik me kon ontspannen.
Ik vond het leuk dat de personages uit de vorige boeken weer de revue passeerden en dat er nieuwe personages werden geïntroduceerd. Vooral Frances wist mij te betoveren, wat een heerlijk personage! (oh, en natuurlijk geit Geoffrey en shetlanders Blossom en Jo 🤭) En dan nog die prachtige beschrijvingen over Midsummer House, ik zou er zelf wel willen wonen (een cottage in het bos met diertjes is toch de droom 🥹).
De schrijfstijl in dit boek was weer lekker vlot, waardoor ik weer door dit deel vloog. Wat daar natuurlijk bij hielp was de chemie tussen Charlotte en Rob. Het zat vol met van die heerlijke awkward momenten en die sarcastische opmerkingen over en weer vond ik hilarisch. De burn was slow, maar niet zo slow dat het mijn aandacht niet wist vast te houden. Wat mij betreft was het tempo van hun opbouwende romance precies juist. Ondanks dat het over het algemeen een luchtige feelgood is, komen er ook serieuze onderwerpen aan bod, maar zonder dat het te zwaarmoedig werd.
Al met al was dit een heerlijke combinatie van romantiek, nieuwe kansen, persoonlijke groei, loslaten en het herontdekken van wat echt belangrijk is in het leven. Een heerlijke feelgood om in de zomer te lezen! ☀️🌼
Tropes:
🏘 Small-town setting
🛏️ Forced proximity
🔥 Slow burn
💕 Closed-door romance
📌 In het najaar verschijnt het vierde deel: 'Kerst in Applemore' bij Uitgeverij Zomer & Keuning 🎄

A gorgeous new story in the Applemore series from Rachael Lucas. It’s been lovely catching up with the Fraser family again, this time with Charlotte as the main character as we follow her dreams of turning Midsummer House into the perfect holiday retreat. I loved the interactions between her and Rob, and seeing Charlotte concentrate on her own life rather than worrying about everyone else was a nice touch.
Rachael has again written a beautiful story, full of warm and welcoming characters and the house itself sounded perfectly idyllic with the cheeky animals thrown in to keep Charlotte on her toes.

Book 3 of the series has bossy Charlotte attempting to get a woman to sell her house so Charlotte can buy it and be independent of the Applemore estate. Her chance encounter with a wealthy and good looking man turns her world upside-down. Highland romance with attempted animal escapes is entertaining reading with familiar characters in a familiar setting.

WOW WOW WOW ....... I loved it you have done it again, I loved these characters and their story, thanks you once again for allowing me to read your work, I am already looking forward to hearing Polly's story

Sweet love story
Continuation of the Applemore series, beautiful setting with fun characters and a few laughs. Serious Charlotte shines in this book that gives updates on Rilla and Lachlan, Beth and Jack.

Charlotte Fraser admits she is a control freak and a compulsive list maker. But one night in the city she steps right out of her comfort zone. Then she returns to her village and her siblings in the Scottish Highlands. There she is determined to acquire Midsummer House. Her plan is to make it the dream property for her holiday cottage business. Can she convince Frances, a solitary person to sell it to her? Frances comes up with the condition. Charlotte must house sit there for three months while Frances is away on a trip deciding if she will sell Midsummer House or not. That means looking after the animals and bees on the property. Charlotte is not thrilled but thinking it might be the best way to get in the owner’s good books and convince Frances to sell to her, she agrees, reluctantly. So the lets her own cottage out and heads to Midsummer House.
Rob Jones has struck some issues at work in the finance trading area. So when the opportunity comes up he sets out, at his aunt’s request, to help her. It is the first time he has been back for years. The place holds many memories for him, not all good. Maybe it is time he deals with them? When Charlotte arrives at Midsummer she finds Rob already there. Both have reasons to stay. Who will give in and leave?
This is the third book in the Applemore Bay series, and I have read and enjoyed the previous 2, so felt confident going into this one. It sucked me in again quite easily. I love the relationships between the Fraser siblings and how different, Charlotte, Lachlan, Beth and Polly are to, and with, each other. Also love the way gossip flares like flames in a small community. Charlotte and Rob are interesting and there are a number of other quirky characters, the least of which is Geoffrey the goat who chews on anything in his vicinity. He is also an escape artist more worthy of the name Houdini. He provides humorous moments.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Perhaps a bit predictable in some ways but such a fun read, it didn’t matter. That’s the warmth of the characters and the place. Did I mention a beautiful setting as well? A lovely read. It could probably be read as a stand alone but better still, why not start with book I and get to know the characters and the place as I did?

Charlotte ist eine taffe Geschäftsfrau, vermietet Ferienhäuser und ist rundum organisiert. An einem Abend lässt sie alle fünfe gerade sein und genießt eine heiße Nacht mit einem Wildfremden, den sie am Morgen verlässt, bevor er aufwacht. Sie denkt, dass sie ihn nie wiedersieht. Bis sie Midsummer House, ein idyllisches Cottage als Ferienhaus ankaufen möchte. Die Besitzerin Frances stellt die Bedingung, dass sie erst für drei Monate das Haus hütet, während sie auf Reisen geht. Als Charlotte dort einzieht, sieht sie sich ihrem One-Night-Stand gegenüber, der zufällig der Neffe von Frances ist und ebenfalls Interesse am Haus hat.
Ich kenne die Vorgängerbände nicht, kam jedoch trotzdem gut in die Story hinein. Die Autorin einen wortgewaltig bildhaften Schreibstil, den ich sehr genossen habe. Auch hat mich der Anfang der Story richtiggehend mitgerissen, ich konnte beide Protagonisten wahrhaftig vor mir sehen: Die strukturierte Charlotte und Rob, den Finanzier, der sich seiner Ausstrahlung und seines Reichtums bewusst ist, sich auf windige Geschäfte einlässt und auf einmal erkennt, dass er kaum Freunde hat. Im Mittelteil verliert sich die Story ein wenig, an manchen Stellen hätte ich mir mehr Tempo gewünscht oder dass vor allem Charlotte sich eingesteht, dass zwischen ihr und Rob sich etwas entwickeln könnte. Das Prickeln hat mir gefehlt, schließlich waren die beiden bereits intim miteinander. Auch Rob kommt nur langsam in die Gänge und erkennt, was er wirklich möchte. Der Schluss konnte mich allerdings erneut fesseln. Die Story punktet für mich speziell durch die liebenswerten Nebenfiguren, die alle ihren Platz haben und das Flair von Schottland, für das ich eine besondere Schwäche habe.
Ein Wohlfühlroman in schönem Ambiente, der sich gut lesen lässt.

Auch hat mich der Anfang der Story richtiggehend mitgerissen, ich konnte beide Protagonisten wahrhaftig vor mir sehen: Die strukturierte Charlotte und Rob, den Finanzier, der sich seiner Ausstrahlung und seines Reichtums bewusst ist, sich auf windige Geschäfte einlässt und auf einmal erkennt, dass er kaum Freunde hat. Im Mittelteil verliert sich die Story ein wenig, an manchen Stellen hätte ich mir mehr Tempo gewünscht oder dass vor allem Charlotte sich eingesteht, dass zwischen ihr und Rob sich etwas entwickeln könnte. Das Prickeln hat mir gefehlt, schließlich waren die beiden bereits intim miteinander. Auch Rob kommt nur langsam in die Gänge und erkennt, was er wirklich möchte. Der Schluss konnte mich allerdings erneut fesseln. Die Story punktet für mich speziell durch die liebenswerten Nebenfiguren, die alle ihren Platz haben und das Flair von Schottland, für das ich eine besondere Schwäche habe.

Wonderful
I just loved reading about charlottes adventures especially lotti's adventures. Charlottes so driven in what she does and has always found security in her lists and lists of lists. It been a great journey following her visits to Midsummer house and her meetings with francis. Charlottes had her sights set on owning midsummer house for a while so when Francis asks her to look after the animals and the house ,and to talk to the bees daily she is excited and starts planning in her head what she wants to do to the house when its hers. The day francis is leaving to go on her travels she says goodbye to charlotte . Charlotte is at midsummer house taking her belongings in and rob arrives and realises who she is and is shocked. He explains he's staying at midsummer house to do some running repairs and she thinks he must be staying at a hotel but he says no he's staying at midsummer house. Charlotte explains she is looking after the house and the animals while francis is away. Then an email comes through to charlotte explaining the arrangements are. They seem to rub along each doing what they are supposed to be. Rob slowly but surely falls in love with Applemore and decides to help the local Applemore Hotel out by investing in it to allow the owner to extend the restaurant and spruce up the bedrooms etc. Francis makes a decision about midsummer house that upsets charlotte a lot so she decides to leave midsummer house and back to Applemore house and stay with lochland and rilla. They are both stubborn and dont talk to each other until they are pushed by their freinds and her family. The ending is great and leaves it open for the next book.

Zum Buch:
Charlotte Großer hat ihr Leben im Griff, sie schreibt gerne todo-Listen und arbeitet ohne Pause an ihrem Traum von einem eigenen Ferienhaus. Dafür hätte sie gerne Midsummer House, das von der exzentrischen Besitzerin Grances zum Verkauf angeboten wird.
Um den Zuachalf zu bekommen, soll sie es über den Sommer hüten.
Aber kurzfristig hat Frances auch ihren Neffen einquatiert. Und das ist kein Unbekannter für Charlotte, denn sie verbrachte mit ihm eine unvergessliche Nacht.
Meine Meinung:
Midsummer House ist ein weiterer Teil der Das Erbe von Applemore Reihe, kann aber eigenständig gelesen werden, da es sich jedesmal um ein anderes Geschwister der Familie Fräser handelt, die anderen spielen nur eine Nebenrolle.
Zu Beginn werden sehr viele Namen in den Raum geworfen, mit denen man zuerst wenig anfangen kann. Wenn man die vorhergehenden Bücher gelesen hat, kommen einem einige bekannt vor, aber ich wusste trotzdem nicht mehr wer wer ist. Aber mit der Zeit wurde es durchsichtiger. Und womit die Geschichte auf jeden Fall Punkten kann, ist das wunderschöne Setting in den Highlands.
Die Geschichte ist amüsant, unterhaltsam und auch ein bisschen romantisch, auch wenn das happy end lange auf sich warten ließ.
Ich habe mich jedenfalls sehr gut unterhalten und das Buch gerne gelesen.

This is the 3rd book in the lovely series set in the Highlands of Scotland in Applemore Bay. The first four books centre around the Fraser siblings, all brought up in Applemore House, and all work in the village.
Charlotte runs a holiday let business on the Applemore Estate. She wants to build her own portfolio and has her heart set on Midsummer House. Frances, the current owner, decides to let Charlotte house sit while she's away. If all goes well, Frances will sell to Charlotte.
However, things don't go smoothly, Rob, a nephew of Frances, shows up. He is also house sitting for his aunt and will take on some much needed repairs. He has his own reasons for escaping Edinburgh and the high-powered finance he currently works in.
What villagers don't know is Charlotte and Rob have history!
I loved this book, I love the series. Its a series based around family, their relationships, and their lives. Each book is a standalone story, but they are best read in order of publication to preserve continuity of the characters and wider storyline.
I can't wait to read the next book about the youngest sister, Polly.

Zum Inhalt: Charlotte liebt ihre Listen und ist ein absoluter Kontrollfreak! Doch als sie in Edinburgh einen attraktiven Mann begegnet, nimmt sie sich vor an einem Abend mal ganz entspannt und spontan zu sein. Eine aufregende Nacht schadet ja nicht und sie wird ihn ja eh nie wieder sehen…zumindest bis er in Applemore steht und mit ihr in dem selben Haus wohnen will, welches Charlotte gerade versucht zu kaufen….
Meine Meinung: Mir war nicht bewusst, dass es sich bei diesem Buch um den dritten Teil handelt. Zwar kann man die Bücher wirklich gut getrennt von einander lesen, aber manchmal bin ich dann noch durcheinander gekommen. Es gibt unglaublich viele verschiedene Charaktere. Zwar waren alle wirklich liebenswert geschrieben, aber es war mir einfach ein bisschen zu viel und ich bin ab und zu ein bisschen mit den Namen durcheinander gekommen.
Der Schreibstil an sich ist aber wirklich leicht und flüssig. Ich habe das Buch schnell durch gelesen und fand es wirklich gut. Eine schöne Geschichte für zwischendurch!
Auch das Setting in Schottland hat mir wirklich gut gefallen und ich habe ein Gefühl von „nach Hause kommen“ gehabt.
Fazit: Ein leichtes Buch für zwischendurch.

Leichtfüßiger Roman mit schöner Botschaft
Rachael Lucas hat mit "Midsummer House - Das Erbe von Applemore" einen leichtfüßigen sommerlichen Roman in den schottischen Highlands geschrieben.
Zugegeben mit dem Anfang und dem ersten Kapitel bin ich nicht sonderlich gut zurecht gekommen und habe mich gewundert was das wohl werden wird.
Doch dann hat Charlotte zusammen mit den Bewohnern von Applemore mein Herz erobert und Rob mit seiner ehrlich, authentisch und frischen Art das Lesevergnügen getoppt. Ich habe das Buch in einem Rutsch durchgelesen weil ich unbedingt wissen wollte, ob und wie sich die Situation um Midsummer House klärt und ob die Liebesgeschichte von Charlotte und Rob ein gutes Ende findet.
Der Erzählstil der Autorin macht es einem leicht sich die wunderschöne schottische Landschaft vorzustellen und mit den sympathischen Charakteren mitzufühlen. Doch alles in allem ist es nicht platt sondern einfach schön, romantisch, herzlich und warm.
Ein Buch das ich definitiv empfehlen kann.

Das Setting von Midsummer House ist eigentlich ziemlich perfekt für einen cozy Liebesroman. Edinburgh, wo die beiden Charaktere ihre erste gemeinsame Nacht verbringen, ist ja an sich schon wild romantisch genug. Aber dann dazu auch noch ein romantisches Haus - nach dem der Roman benannt ist - mitten in einem zauberhaften Wald. Eigentlich muss da gleich grosse Liebe vorprogrammiert sein. Hier kommt jetzt aber mein grosses Aber. Die beiden Charaktere sind einfach nicht sympathisch genug. Ja, sie werden natürlich beide im Laufe des Buchs sympathischer und irgendwie wünscht man ihnen ihr Glück. Aber während ich Charlotte einfach so “geht so” fand, fand ich Rob gerade am Anfang einfach so unsympathisch, dass ich da auch im weiteren Verlauf nicht wirklich drüber hinweg gekommen bin. Natürlich müssen Protagonisten nicht immer sympathisch sein, aber bei einem Liebesroman macht das schon ne Menge aus.

Charlotte Fraser will mit dem Midsummer House einen Grundstück für eine eigene Ferienhausvermietung setzten und ist sich mit der Besitzerin schon einig. Dann setzt diese ihr ihren Neffen vor sie Nase, den sie aus einer heißen Nacht in Edinburgh kennt.
Midsummer House ist mittlerweile das dritte Buch über die Frasers, diesmal wird Charlottes Geschichte erzählt. Zu Beginn werden alle anderen Frasers sowie gefühlt sämtliche Bewohner des Dorfes vorgestellt, was ich etwas verwirrend fand, dann fiel mir aber wieder ein, dass ich zumindest das Buch mit der Gärtnerin schon gelesen hatte.
Als Charlotte ins Midsummer House zog, wurde es besser. Die Versuche sich von Rob, dem Neffen, fernzuhalten waren amüsant. Teilweise fand ich es aber auch ein wenig langatmig und zäh. Das Ende hat mich dann aber vollends überzeugen können und ich weiß auch schon dass wohl Polly die nächste Story bekommt.
Nette Unterhaltung, nur passte es mir nicht so in die Jahreszeit.

I read this book whilst recovering from surgery and it was just what I needed to read, at that time! I thoroughly enjoyed being back in Applemore Bay and hearing Charlotte's story.
Charlotte has a one-night stand with a fella called Rob, and doesn't give it much more thought - until Rob turns up in Applemore Bay! Somehow, she has to put up with him, whilst ignoring their mutual spark AND not letting her siblings know what happened before. You know how it goes in a small town and especially with nosy sisters!
This was a charming story and I enjoyed getting re-acquainted with characters from the previous books in this series, although this book could easily be read as a standalone. I would recommend that you read all the books in the series to date though, as they are just lovely :)
Looking forward to the next book in the series, very much.
4.5 stars from me.

Back to the Applemore Bay series with book three, which focuses on Charlotte Fraser. While I liked this story, I prefer the first two books in the series. I don't know if it was just my KU copy, but there were several typos. For example, Rob introduced himself as Rob XX. Another character had XX for a last name, which made me think the author added the last names after writing the series and the copy editor missed these placeholders. There were other places where a character was referred to by the wrong name, which made for some confusion.
That said, I liked Charlotte and Rob's romance. Unwilling housemates is a good trope. Charlotte was very stubborn, but in the end, both she and Rob figured out what they wanted from life. (Each other, of course.) I find the series is still charming and look forward to reading the next book.

Better than the last Lucas book I read
Still has very woke themes
Cancer, LGBTabc+ gay couple running the cafe and who is Mel and Fiona - let’s edit the typo and call Mel Mal for Malcolm 😁
I wonder if that’s what the editor suggested only the other way 👀
Charlotte was a funny character and I’m not sure it was the workaholic tendencies. She had a bit of everything PTSD from the death of her o ok agents. Not inheriting the business she’d established was a big odd, subdividie the block and give her the land for crying out loud.
Jack being given the property from his aunt was lovely. Such a fantastic gift and what he did with that gift was amazing. That’s was a liveyoart of the story that was skimmed over at the end of the book
Charlotte carried on like a pork chop!
