A fun fluffy book. A very easy read, but not much else.

I’ve recently finished The Eligible Bachelor and if I were to describe it in one word, I’d say joyous. It’s such a feel-good read that provided the perfect lockdown escape for me when I really needed it. Veronica Henry’s lifestyle fiction is always fun, exuberant and heart-warming and I’ve become a huge fan of her work over the last few years. An Eligible Bachelor combines loveable characters with a beautiful village setting and just enough twists and turns to keep you hooked. A book I’d definitely recommend if you want to transport to someplace beautiful.

More a 3.5 star. Started off really ropey I thought and genuinely wasn’t sure whether I’d enjoy it but it got better, albeit predictable but enjoyable nonetheless

Mostly good, easy read and an enjoyable listen with entertaining characters. It did seem however like the author has a bit of a dislike of “career girls” which felt unnecessary to the story and let it down.

I admit I didn’t like the title. It sounds a little bit like a cheap romance. Therefore it would have never been my first book by Veronica Henry. But as I have already read her other titles and this book was recommendation, I gave it a shot. And it didn’t disappoint.
Yes, there is romance and broken hearts, or rather amended hearts but everything wrapped up in a nice story. A little bit predictable, probably yes. But you open the first chapter and then you don’t want to stop reading. You want to know what happened next. The thing with Veronica Henry books is that they tell the stories which could happen to anyone. It is like familiar faces from the familiar street. Who doesn’t want to know what is going on in the neighbour’s house?
