I think I'll stick to Fiona Walker for my British country romps :P

The characters of the book are simply insufferable! So they are impossibly rich doing very little or inconsequential jobs but maintaining an extremely expensive lifestyle and they are all in a fix because (gulp!) a self - made property developer wants to build a housing estate on their precious meadow. And not a luxury apartments estate either. That's right the plebs are coming! This, of course, means war! Hurry up, call Mick Jagger to stop this sacrilege. Their peace and quiet are threatened! Dear me the hoi poloi will overrun the place!

Well unfortunately he loses and the rich and spoilt again have their way.

This is a delightful read perfect for lighthearted and romantic readers who enjoy a slow-paced, humorous tale of love, community, and the power of passion, as they follow the charming women of Churchminster as they navigate their relationships and work together to save their beloved village.

*spoiler-ish - No major plot lines revealed though.*

Wasn't really what I was expecting. A lot more... not really 'graphic' but Carnegie describes the sex more than a lot of other chick lit novels. I don't think it really added to the story and it seemed like she was doing it for the shock factor, only it didn't really work. If it was to gain attention for the novel, it didn't do that either. I just thought it was a bit over the top and didn't create the atmosphere it needed.

I found it, not so much confusing, but very cluttered; I thought her focus was too split at times which made the book overlong and almost boring in parts. Like most chick-lit, it’s an easy read and okay for an escapist read, but don’t expect too much from it.

A good book, just a bit confusing remembering who is who as the sisters names are quite similar
