Today it is my pleasure to help kick off the blog tour for Suzanne Snow’s The Cottage of New Beginnings.
One crumbling cottage. One broken heart. A chance to start over?
When Annie returns to Thorndale, the village where she spent much of her childhood, she’s looking for a new start. All she wants to do is fix up the cottage her godmother left her, and fix up her broken heart.
When she clashes with local hero, Jon, Annie can’t help but wonder if coming back to Thorndale was a mistake. The village has clearly changed and the last thing she needs is more drama. But avoiding the distractingly handsome Jon is proving impossible, especially when Thorndale seems to be conspiring to throw them together…
Annie is looking for a fresh start with zero romance – but what if the only way to learn to trust again is to take a risk on love?
Annie has returned to Thorndale after the death of her beloved Godmother, to move into the beautiful cottage she has now inherited. She is feeling vulnerable after the breakdown of her relationship, and she is keen to make a new start. What she absolutely does not want is romance!
Jon is the local village hero, heading up the Fell Rescue team as well as providing breaks for teenagers. All of this whilst also running his families estate – he is handsome, driven – basically the ideal man! When he meets Annie he can’t take his eyes off her, he can’t stop thinking about her but he knows she’s recovering from a bad breakup.
Thorndale and its inhabitants is such a lovely village, I can understand why Annie returned there after spending her school holidays there with her Godmother Molly. Annie needed some time to find herself, and I think that beautiful cottage was the perfect setting. I really enjoyed following Annie and Jon’s burgeoning friendship. I could understand both Annie’s reluctance and Jon’s frustrations at their relationship. I loved many of the supporting characters (Sam and Charlie were particular favourites)
I am more than happy to recommend this novel. As the weather starts to turn, it is ideal for those chillier Sunday afternoons curled up on the sofa under a cosy blanket! Grab yourself a blanket, a glass of wine and a copy of The Cottage of New Beginnings!
Thank you to Suzanne Snow and Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me to be a part of this fabulous blog tour, and for providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.
