About this eBook

Welcome back to Willoughby Close, with four new residents and happy endings to deliver…


Belinda ‘Lindy’ Jamison has moved to the Cotswolds for a fresh start and to open a dancing school—her lifelong dream. Pushing forty and still looking for Mr. Right, Lindy is determined to no longer wait for happiness but to reach for it with both hands. So she packs up her life and heads south to Wychwood-on-Lea to start up her school.


Soon Lindy has a motley crew of would-be dancers. But her most intriguing pupil is Roger Wentworth, a fortysomething bachelor with a shy and awkward manner, but a heart of blazing gold. When Lindy decides to showcase her pupils in a Christmas show, Roger is deeply reluctant but finally agrees. Lindy longs to bring Roger out of his shell—but she didn't expect to fall in love with him in the process. 

 

Soon it is Roger teaching her how two lonely hearts might be able to embrace a second chance this Christmas...if they can just believe they're both worthy of love.

DNF at 61%. Lindy Jamison has moved from Manchester to Willoughby Chase to pursue her dream of opening a ballroom dancing school. Orphaned at a young age, Lindy has lots of friends and acquaintances in Manchester but no-one really close. She hopes that moving to a small town/village will help her to feel like she belongs. Roger Wentworth is a stuffy accountant, his mother is dying of cancer and she wants to learn to dance ballroom (Ballroom dance?). Anyway, despite having two left feet Roger agrees to accompany his mother to her dance classes. Lindy and Roger have an instant attraction, but their natural reticence and Roger's formality mean that they are permanently too shy to make a move. I have read and loved all the previous Willoughby Chase books, but I just couldn't get invested in these characters, also as I noted in my review of the previous book in this series, all the couples in these books have serious issues and I'm just a bit over it, it feels unrealistic and a bit forced. Also, why is it always accountants who are portrayed as being on the spectrum? Honestly, we're pretty normal people. Overall, I just wasn't engaged by this story of two lonely people struggling to find love. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher Tule in return for an honest review.

I've read all the previous books in this series and can honestly say that this one didn't disappoint. Beautifully written, the book draws you in from the start and the characters are so likeable, even the socially awkward Roger. The way the story is crafted gives you a feeling of warmth and belonging and as always, I'm sad to leave Wychwood-on-Lea when I reach the end. This is the perfect book to escape into after what's been an extraordinary year!

Once again we are in Willoughby Close in the town of Wychwood-on-Lea in the Cotswold's and once again it is the character that make the story This one in parts feels a little off putting but that is mainly due to the wonderful writing that depicts the main characters in all their misery At the age of forty Belinda ‘Lindy’ Jamison has finally been able to live her dream and she has opened a dancing school and one of her clients is Roger Wentworth and bachelor in his forty's also. Lindy has long given up on romance and Roger never thought romance would be for him after all he is shy and socially inept. When a connection happens between them will they at long last find a love that allows them to step out from behind their walls You will have to read to see
