They can be read as separate standalones but I would advise to read them all and in order of the series.

This review is for the first two parts, Sunshine and Secrets and Christmas Cheer. This book was originally released in four separate parts for the Willow Cottage series, with the whole book released at a later date. Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the Publishers, Avon Books, for these review copies given in exchange for an honest review. Christmas Cheer is a wonderful second part to this amazing series with its magical season and gripping story, I can't wait to read the third part of the Willow Cottage Series. Carly has always dreamed of the perfect proposal, so she decides that she needs to get away from her life in London and decides to pay Beth a visit in the small village that she now calls home.īoth Carly and Beth are living different lives now that they are over a hundred miles away from each other, yet one thing will always remain no matter the distance they can rely on each other. Beth is starting to feel more at home in the small town and even manages to get herself a small part time job in the local pub, something to fund her on-going project that is Willow Cottage.Ĭarly is still waiting for Fergus to make a move and propose but every hint that she seems to drop, he just isn't catching on to them. Beth has taken on the role of looking after Jack's hyperactive dog, when he is at work. Part two picks up with Beth still working on Willow Cottage, although with the help of Jack, she can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The cover designs are so eye catching and the story is gripping and thrilling all at the same time. Overlooking the village green in a beautiful Cotswolds idyll, Beth sees a warm, caring and safe place for little Leo.When she finally uncovers the cottage from underneath the boughs of a weeping willow tree, Beth realises this is far more of a project than she bargained for and the locals are more than a little eccentric! A chance encounter with gruff Jack, who appears to be the only male in the village under thirty, leaves the two of them at odds but it's not long before Beth realises that Jack has hidden talents that could help her repair more than just Willow Cottage.Over the course of four seasons, Beth realises that broken hearts can be mended, and sometimes love can be right under your nose.Willow Cottage is part of a serialized novel told in four parts, following the journey of Beth and her new life in the Cotswolds.The Willow Cottage Series is quickly becoming one of my favourite series to date, the characters are so exciting and memorable.

With her young son Leo to protect, Willow Cottage is the lifeline she so desperately needs. **The first in a cosy and heartwarming four-part seasonal series, perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley.**Beth is running away.
