This book is a great light read. You start caring about the two main characters very quickly. I've had a lot of the same experiences with loss, so it's easy to feel for them and know what they are going through. You go through emotions with them and really have hope for their cause. I love that the community get behinds the cause and really comes to help out, even with their reservations. It's has humor, sadness, and fun all in one book.

I am from the States, so the slang and terminology from England is always fascinating to me.

Yet again, a book by Mary Jayne Baker that made me read first person narrative. It’s well written and works so well written in first person that it felt like I was really there. I loved the characters and the relationships between them and just the general theme of the whole book, although it made me feel a bit guilty for letting my own bike gather cobwebs in the garage! 4 stars, love this author!

This is the first book I have read by this author and it certainly won't be the last she is amazing this book is so well written and has amazing characters and shows real community spirit and full of romance as well. The setting is in beautiful countryside and the book has you hooked from the first page. Makes you laugh in places and full of wit and love highly recommend this read.

This a delightful read and highly recommend you read it had me really laughing in places but shows what you can do when you pull together as a community.

Loved this story! It’s fun, funny, heartwarming and bang up to date. A story of love, people, community and work8ng together.

I loved Mary's last book and this new one lived right up to my expectations. It is a lovely story about family and community, working together for something that really matters to them. Throw in a vulnerable heroine, a sexy hero and a few false starts, and you get a love story too - one that feels real and convincing, and moves at just the right pace, saving the best til the end. I found this book a lot of fun, highly readable, well written and very enjoyable. I read it in little over 24 hours. Five stars from me!

Lana runs a restaurant in the yorkshire dales with her brother. Their dad is seriously ill, so they have put their lives on hold to care for him.
Despite the sadness in their lives, they live in a great community. When Lana hatches a plan to get a bike race through the village and a tribute to her father, everyone pulls together to help, including Stewart, the man who hurt her once before.
Looking forward to reading more from this author.
