Paula's Way

by Anna Jacobs

An unexpected inheritance is most people's dream, but not for Paula. Having put bad times behind her, she is now happy and secure in Western Australia with her own business. This is a complete contrast to her rootless childhood, and she has little interest in the minor stately home in the English countryside of which she is apparently now the owner.

Persuaded to visit the property in Wiltshire, Paula has to confront complications both romantic and financial that will test the old adage that home is where the heart is.

Surprised to find a book of Anna Jacobs' I don't like. Silly scatty heroine, bored and boring. And tarty. Weird. I wonder if I'll like it by the time I have finished reading it. (Later) No still don't like it. All the characters have personality disorders.

DISAPOINTED, Having spent 50 years in lovely sunny Adelaide, you would never get me back to that rainy,windy cold place. Did we need to have half the book devoted to that.

[Alison Ivey · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ridiculous, far fetched, unconvincing characters.

[Julie Beckett · Rating 4 out of 5]

I hadn’t realised this book was part of a trilogy, but it didn’t seem to matter that I hadn’t read the other two - this story is a stand-alone one.
I enjoyed this book and the story. Yes, the inheritance of Stovell Abbey is a bit convoluted, and who is who (would have liked to have seen a family tree at the front of the book), but the house acts as the backdrop for the various romances, bringing all the characters together. As with all good romance stories, it all comes together nicely at the end.

I do not know why this should be called a "Trilogy "? These 3 books have no connection to each other

I was disappointed. I often buy "trilogies" expecting the story to continue in the numbers 2 and 3. This was deceiving. I read almost all of Anne Jacob's books and like her earlier books better.

EXHILARATING!!!!

I've read every book of Anna Jacobs and again couldn't put my book down, Paula's way is another breath-catching book!

An enjoyable light hearted read.

[Claire Hoole · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick, simple read for some needed down time. I enjoyed it. An escape. Having Wiltshire in my own heritage drew me in. Made me want to visit Perth! Thank you!

An engaging read with plenty of twists and turns along the way.

Uma narrativa bem romântica e leve, envolvendo uma herança inesperada, amores à primeira vista, ciúmes desmedidos, uma boa dose de drama, e um plot twist perto do final. Eu gostei.
