Ratings and reviews

A lovely light-hearted read. Orly runs a very successful, but stressful, business catering to the whims of those who have money to throw around, but had been feeling unsettled recently. So when her fiance and business partner made a mess of a job and then ran off with a 'celebrity' and dumped Orly, she decided it was time for a big lifestyle change. She'd always wanted to move out into the country, so she sold her shares in the stressful business and bought Honeysuckle Hall, with plans of turning it into a retreat for those needing a bit of R&R. A camp but for adults instead of children, and starts getting the Hall back into shape, with the help of the eccentric Esterlita and the handsome carpenter Leo. There are a few mysteries around, someone isn't that keen on Orly being there, but she ignores the 'warnings' and carries on regardless. I did think parts were a bit.... silly(!), and I did think Esterlita appearing the minute Orly moved in was a bit odd, but she really grew on me, even though she was as mad as a box of frogs! I really enjoyed the way the story developed, with Leo and his crew renovating the Hall and Orly welcoming her first group of paying guests. The story really grew on me and by the end I was sad to leave Honeysuckle Hall. A real feel-good book.
