They say you should never go back.
But this is exactly what ravishing Ronnie Ledwell does, twenty-five years after she scandalized the Cotswold village of Compton Magna by abandoning husband and children for her lover. But her father's famous stud farm has seen better days. Faithful Lester, the gifted stallion man, has guarded Ronnie's secrets for three decades, but can they both forgive and forget the past? Meanwhile, charismatic Kit Donne can't stand the sight of the woman who so reminds him of his beloved late wife. Greedily eyeing up the estate is sexy Bay Austen, a man who usually gets what he wants. Can Ronnie stand in his way?
In a village riven with affairs, rivalries and scandals, Ronnie's unexpected return, with all its glamour and mystique, sets in motion a drama from which there will be no turning back.

This book has so many different characters at the beginning it is quite hard to get the gist of the story, but once you persevere the story comes together nicely. Ronnie Ledwell ran away with her lover over 30 years ago leaving her husband and children, her father has just died and she has to return home to try and set things right. Intermingled with Ronnie’s story are several interconnecting stories. As I said there are many different characters in this book, I particularly liked Fitz who had a crush on an older married woman but was trying to protect his mum from heartbreak. I also rather liked Ronnie who wasn’t the villain that she had been portrayed to be.. A good story with some excellent characters which makes me look forward to the next book. |

I love Fiona Walker books so was really looking forward to reading this one on holiday. It did take a while to get into it as there is a lot going on at the beginning with different characters but once you get going it was hard to put down. I really enjoyed it, it was a good old fashioned country romp and especially looking forward to the next installment in the series. |

As a fan of Fiona walker previously, I had high hopes for this book. I am glad to say that I was not disappointed. I enjoyed the intricate different characters and how they all interconnected. The setting was wonderful too- lots of wonderful descriptions that transported me to rural England. |

I loved this book. It took quite a while to get into and there were a lot of characters but the story soon came together. I laughed out loud in several places and really enjoyed the read. I'm assuming there will be a follow-up book and I can't wait to read that too. |

Loved this book and wanted it to keep going even though it is quite long to start with. Great characters, both human and animal, and lots of interweaving stories. Have read previous book by Fiona Walker & would definitely read more. Highly recommended. |

I thoroughly enjoyed this and am really looking forward to there being a whole series. There is a rich and varied array of characters, with lots of storylines twisting and entwining. A definite must for fans of Jilly Cooper and early Veronica Henry, there's a strong horsey theme to this village. |

Scandal, Fun and Frolics... ..in the new offering from Fiona Walker - The Country Set. Amidst a wonderful setting, the huge host of characters create mayhem country style. This book has it all - secrets, scandals, tangled relationships, jealousy and rivalry. The characters are, indeed, plentiful and varied - its a busy, busy book. I loved it. A great romp typical, I'm pleased to say, of Fiona Walker. It certainly did not disappoint. |
