“The Corner Shop on Foxmore Green” is a delightful tale that seamlessly weaves together themes of community, sustainability, and love. Single mom Rowena’s journey from discovering a zero waste store to opening one in her own hometown of Foxmore is both inspiring and heartwarming.
The small-town setting adds a charming backdrop to the budding romance between the lead character and the new guy in town, whose chemistry sizzles on the pages.
I enjoyed this small town romance.
With its feel-good atmosphere and satisfying conclusion, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking a cozy escape into the world of love and community.
Thankyou to Author Lilac Mills, Canelo Romance and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

There is something about Lilac Mills' writing that is so comforting and warm to read, while also more recently clearly having a message about saving the planet - although with each book that larger topic is dealt with in completely different ways.

For Rowena is utterly fed up with thee amount of single use plastic that is in all of the shops in Foxmore, and with Nia, her fabulous four year old daughter now at school age she is starting to wonder whether she could get another job, that will fulfill her more than what she is currently doing part time.

And after encountering one in nearby Cardiff, she realises that what Foxmore really needs is a Zero Waste shop. With best friend Betsan, they attempt to make it a reality but nothing at all is smooth sailing.

Add in a handsome stranger that has just moved into the village, a series of hilarious misunderstandings later, and some potential romance, and you have many elements that make up a truly engaging book.

There are things referenced in the blurb for this book which don't happen until the last perhaps 25% or so, which surprised me as if I mentioned them in a review, then I would be accused of spoilers!

For me Nia was the star of this book, she was simply fabulous, and often had me giggling. I do love the things children come out with!

And the whole idea of a zero waste shop is certainly a good one, and if I lived within walking distance of such a shop I might be tempted to use one myself. They are a concept I wasn't overly familiar with before reading this but now understand a whole lot more.

A really pleasurable read that left me looking forward to the next book in the series.

Thank you to Canelo and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

This was a lovely albeit predictable story. The outcome is pretty easy to guess from the get go, but that's not necessarily a bad thing! It was an enjoyable read just the same. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC.

A nice easy read, there’s no surprises. Formulaic premise with slightly hysterical main characters. However enjoyable enough and I did find it got better towards the end, to the point where I do hope there’s a sequel!

Thank you Netgalley

Rowena wanted to open a zero waste shop but she has been holding back because of her daughter Nia. She always put her daughter in priority and she love her wholeheartedly. Huw is a newcomer to the town and is instantly attracted to Rowena when he bumps into her at the shop.  It is a love at first sight to him. Their communication did not start smoothly and this has prevented their friendships from getting closer. When their relationship started to improve, someone from Rowena’s past appear back in her life and this has threatened not only her relationship with Huw but also her shop.

This is a sweet and feel good story about a single mother who found 2nd chance in love but at the same time doubt her lucky star. There is great chemistry between Rowena and Huw and her daughter Nia is a charming character in the story. Overall, it is a charming read to me.

Beautiful! Lilac Mills writes such cozy romances set in lovely villages. I love the different types of shops she describes in her books. Another charming romance I highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was so freaking cute! I loved how wholesome it was. Our MC is a single mother in a small town who has a passion for eco-friendly living. Our love interest is new to town and looking for the small town charm and simpler living. There’s mix ups and misunderstandings and an ex that will make you want to throw hands (and rocks). The community is so sweet and supportive to our MC’s dreams and future. It's a good mix of given family and found family blending together and I love their life they all build together. Also men could avoid so much misunderstanding if they just fucking asked some follow up questions instead of assuming *eyeroll* but it works out in the end and I am so happy for them and also would like to petition the author for a cute little bonus chapter like a year down the road just to see how our cute little town and sweet couple are doing:)

I really enjoyed this book, great start to a new series for Lilac Mills. I'm looking forward to reading the next books in the series.

Charming book about warm hearted Rowena in a cute village. Sometimes you just need an easy, cozy romance, and this one hit the spot.

Rowena wants to open a zero waste shop in her village, to help save the environment for her young daughter. I absolutely loved meeting all the characters and finding out more about Rowenas plans and how she plans to bring it to fruition. Living in a small village everyone knows everyone's business before they are even aware!
I am really keen to read the next book in this series

This was a lovely, if predictable, book. I devoured it in one sitting by the fire on a rainy afternoon and it was just what I needed. It was entertaining and well-written and will have me seeking out more books by Lilac Mills when I am in the mood for a feel-good, comforting read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

After having read and ejoyed the Tanglewood-series by Lilac Mills I was chuffed to receive my copy for The Corner Shop on Foxmore Green. I wasn't disappointed as I absolutely loved this book!

When single mum Rowena is out to and about with a petition to save the church, she meets Huw at the estate agtents. They are instantly attracted to each other, but assumptions cause misunderstandings that keep them apart. But when Huw's sister steps in, romance is finally in the air.

I loved the characters, Rowena, her adorable daughter Nia, friend Betsa and Huw are very likeable. And loved the concept of a zero-waste shop.

A fairly quick read, but absolutely fab. I can't wait for the next books in this series by Lilac Mills.

Thank you NetGalley and the publiser for my copy in return for my honest review.

Loved reading this book. What more do you want? a small village, lovely characters, and somewhere you could imagine living. Worth 5 stars and I recommend this, .

Thanks to Netgally and publisher for this ARC

3.5 upped to 4
Sometimes you need to read a book that won't surprise but it is comforting as you know what's going to happen.
This book is comforting, entertaining and helped me to relax and escape reality.
Love the characters, smiled and enjoyed it.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

Cute, if formulaic romcom. The setting was lovely, the characters were kind and it was a nice escape read.

What a pure delight to read, i completely and totally was addicted to this book. You can feel the warmth of the characters, the friendships, the romance, it’s just a wonderful feel good story and I’ll definitely be reading more in the series

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy in return for an honest opinion

With a heavy heart I rate this book 1 star and usually I love Lilac Mills books however this one was a complete miss for me.

I think the main issue I had with the book was that I was 50% of the way into the book and the conflict detailed in the blurb hadn't happened yet. I felt like the feelings, attraction and plot was way too rushed and moving so fast that I didn't enjoy it.

Rowena is a very basic character - eco warrior, mum and fancies Huw. Huw is even more basic and his whole personality of what I read is how much he fancies Rowena. The daughter Nia didn't read like a 4 year old to me.

I really wish the conflict had started around the 50% mark because I wanted to be engaged but the start was more just building the lives of Rowena and her daughter mainly which tbh is kinda boring like her idea for the shop arises there but nothing is done.

I would still recommend Lilac Mills just not this book.

This was a sweet but predictable story.. I did enjoy this one even though I guessed the outcome after the first chapter. So much warmth coming through the pages that I will be happy to read more in this series. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.
