What a wonderful book! It has wonderful characters, a beautiful setting and the story is a heartwarming fun read. I loved reading about the adventures Jullian and Peter had at the B&B they opened. I look forward to the next book in this series.

What a wonderful reading experience! This book deals with restoration and healing - with hints of humour. Each character brings a new journey to solve. I would definitely recommend this book! - Roxanne du Plooy (South Africa).

I enjoyed this book. I was torn between reading it quickly and taking my time to savour it over tea and cake. 😊

An enjoyable feel-good story with a bit of Pollyanna ring. The couple who run the guest house take in people who need help and give guests practical advice for their dilemmas. As the book blurb says, Jillian knows just how to solve everyone's problems. Her husband doesn't interact that much with guests, but is kind, congenial, and a super chef. So folks get a nice, quick happy-ever-after.
