Blurb: Little Mowbury is a sleepy English village deep in the Cotswolds. The kind of village where you’re only a local if your lineage can be traced back to the dinosaurs. Where you can find everything in the single shop from morning newspapers to dry-cleaning, and getting your shoes mended. And, of course, where everybody knows everybody else’s business. It’s easy to find… you can’t miss it… just ask anyone and they’ll tell you… “It’s left at the crossroads.”
After being dumped on graduation day by the love of his life, Harry Boyd, Micah Lewis returned to the sleepy village he grew up in. Living next door to his mother wasn’t his best idea, granted, but when your heart was broken, there really was no place like home.
Six years later, secure and content in his job as midwife for a local birthing centre, the last person he expected to move into Lilac Cottage across the street from him was Harry Boyd. Seeing Harry again sends Micah into a tailspin and opens wounds he thought had long since healed. Although, Harry himself isn’t the only issue Micah has to face. That would be Harry’s very beautiful and very pregnant partner, Selena. But is everything as it seems?
Review:
I can honestly say I was really surprised I enjoyed this one so much. It was completely unexpected. LOL! I’m a fan of Ms. Worrall, but I don’t generally enjoy babies or children in my stories, which is where my hesitation came from.
Micah, the midwife, is a really sweet guy, with a great sense of humor. He has his life basically together after what he thought was the love of his life, dumped him hard on their college graduation day. Some of my favorite scenes are with Micah and his friend, Sarah, whom the story opens up as Micah is delivering her sixth baby. They share a great friendship loaded with funny dialog.
Anyway, Micah’s ex, Harry, moves in across the street with what appears to be a very pregnant wife. But, all is totally not as it seems, nor was anything about Harry and Micah’s breakup apparently. So, there are a lot of un-expecteds happening throughout this story.
These two get a second chance, even though they hit some bumps before they reach the end. They made a really sweet couple, and I found it didn’t take long before I was cheering and rooting for them. Throw in some really great/crazy townsfolk and family members, and this is just an all-around feel-good read. The resolution at the end seemed a bit rushed after the pacing of the rest of the story, but it was a well written, enjoyable read.
Overall Impression: I really liked it
