Summary

Meet the Penryns …

The Penryn family have always been eccentric—living in a dilapidated castle in the wilds of Cumbria with an orchid-mad father and a classicist mother who likes to re-enact Greek myths, who wouldn’t be? Penniless and proud, Walter Penryn refuses to give up his birthright—until taxes, bills, and the need for a new roof force him to reconsider.

Now the family is restoring the castle, and Olivia Penryn is in charge of reviving the once-profitable garden. Nursing a broken heart and a guilty conscience, Olivia longs to lose herself in roses and lavender, but she’s filled with doubt. She’s never handled a project this massive. When Olivia hires the gorgeous Will Turner to help with landscaping, her bruised heart begins to heal—and hope.

A widower and father of two, Will has plenty of his own problems. Is he strong enough to take on Olivia’s? As his children become attached to this loving, ethereal beauty, he wonders if their wounded hearts can blossom like the flowers surrounding them—or will hidden secrets and old mistakes cost them a second chance at happiness?

Wonderful to see the castle come to life

An easy to listen to story. A bit overly sweet and predictable but well read and interesting. A little disappointed that big sister Althea seems to be portrayed as rather overbearing and snippy, considering her depiction in Book 1 of the series when she was anything but. But overall a good book but a reliable author.

A twee fairy story

A likeable and enjoyable present day fairy story, those scenarios just don’t happen in real life, however it’s still a nice story that I wanted to see through. It follows the same formula/format as most by Kate Hewitt.
The narrator was an easy listen, with no annoying mispronounced place names.

easy listening... an enjoyable series

My big peeve with this series is the narrator, in the 1st book it was Keswick that she couldn't pronounce & this book it's the NICU who spells the word rather than saying it & as for Keswick she said the word how it's spelt, she didn't do her research not that much was needed I thought everyone knew how to say the word Keswick, If by some slim chance that Kate Hewitt's actually reading this review please could u get a narrator who knows how to pronounce the words in your book's pls It's not a lot to ask surely 🤷‍♀️😁✌
