Synopsis
What if the one person you wanted to talk to wouldn’t listen?
Winter Gregory and her twin sister Daisy live oceans apart but they still have the ‘twin thing’ going on. Daisy is Winter’s port in the storm, the first person she calls when things go wrong …
And things are wrong. Winter has travelled to a remote Yorkshire village to write her new book, and to escape her ex-boyfriend Dan Bekener. Dan never liked her reliance on Daisy and made her choose – but Winter’s twin will always be her first choice.
She soon finds herself immersed in village life after meeting the troubled Hill family; horse-loving eight-year-old Scarlet and damaged, yet temptingly gorgeous, Alex. The distraction is welcome and, when Winter needs to talk, Daisy is always there.
But Dan can’t stay away and remains intent on driving the sisters apart – because Dan knows something about Daisy…
My Review
Jane Lovering channeled M Night Shyamalan for the BIGGEST plot twist I’ve seen in ages!
With just five chapters left, I had to put this book DOWN for 12 full hours, because I was outright scared for Winter. It was at that moment that the full weight of THE MOST spellbinding plot twist I’ve seen in forever landed on me, and it hit hard. I was sobbing uncontrollably.
I don’t want to say much more than that, because I refuse to spoil this delicious book for anyone. It absolutely must be read. Must. It’s funny. It’s romantic. It’s SO, SO sad. It’s charming. It will SCRATCH at your emotions. My name is Amy, and I’m addicted to contemporary British literature, especially the constant supply I’m getting from Choc Lit.
So, grab a whoopie cushion and a box of tissues. You’ll need both of them to survive this rollercoaster. Maybe read with a friend and hold hands. I wish I had…

About Jane Lovering
Jane was, presumably, born, although everyone concerned denies all knowledge. However there is evidence that her early years were spent in Devon (she can still talk like a pirate under the right conditions) and of her subsequent removal to Yorkshire under a sack and sedation.
She now lives in North Yorkshire, where she writes romantic comedies and labours under the tragic misapprehension that Johnny Depp is coming for her any day now. She is prevented from running away to join either Johnny or a circus by her five children, four cats, two dogs and the day job, although she believes this to be optional, and blames her incipient love of sprouts for her slightly single status.
Jane’s likes include marshmallows, the smell of cucumbers, words beginning with B, the smell of the understairs cupboard, and Doctor Who. She writes with her laptop balanced on her knees whilst lying on her bed, and her children have been brought up to believe that real food has a high carbon content. And a kind of amorphous shape.
Not unlike Jane herself, come to think of it.
I love your reviews, Amy! Super-smiley! 🙂 Well done, Jane. An absolute cracker! xx
Awwww! Thanks, Sheryl! Between all of you writing with Choc Lit and Choc Lit themselves, you’ve got me tempted to move to the UK. Hmmm…what to do with the hubby who works hard whilst (Yay! I don’t usually have occasion to use that word!) I homeschool our kids and read and write??? I guess it’s not feasible. 😉 Oh, but you’ve also got Dan and Phil over there! LOL! Just kidding, of course. I love my life, and love that, in this modern world, I can feel like I’m right there with you, living in your books. God bless the invention of the Kindle. Now no one has to SEE that I’m a book hoarder. 🙂
There are many worse things, Amelyn. And as your hoarding gives you (and us!) such pleasure, hoard away, m’dear! 🙂 xx
