A little while ago I read the first book in the A Dollar For a Dream series called ‘A Heart Stuck On Hope’ by Jennie Jones. I loved that book. So when I saw that the series continued with ‘Honey Hill House’ by Lisa Ireland I immediately decided I really needed to read this book too. I love books about the country life and sweet romance stories, so this book sounded like another perfect one.
‘Honey Hill House’ is definitely just as a feel-good book as the first one in the series. You can definitely tell this book is written by another author but since it’s still about the same small town, it was really fun to read how this author and her characters viewed the town of Dulili. The writing was just as good as in the first book, since I was immediately hooked to the pages. But although this book takes place in the same town as the first book did, the characters and their story are very different. And I really loved that.
The main character in ‘Honey Hill House’ is Bea Elliot. Bea is in her early thirties and just went through a very bad divorce. After her life was put upside down and she was forced to move back in with her father Bea decided it was time to take control of her own life. So when she saw the announcement of the ‘Dollar’ project in Dulili, and saw the opportunity to lease Honey Hill House and make it in a B&B, she soon decided to take a chance and move to the small town. I really admired Bea. She was a strong and kind character who really worked hard. And I especially admired how she moved on after everything that happened to her.
The other main character is Callum ‘Mitch’ Mitchel. He has lived in Dulili all his life. After his fiancée left him suddenly without a word he is determined to spend his day taking care of the family farm. The last thing he expected was to feel anything for a ‘city’ girl. But soon after Bea arrived in Dulili, Mitch and her became closer and closer.
The romance between Bea and Mitch was very sweet. I loved reading their story. But at times I didn’t really ‘feel’ their connection. Things seemed to move so fast and I was just surprised about how fast Mitch changed his mind and wanted a relationship with Bea.
But overall this was a very nice read. ‘Honey Hill House’ isn’t a long book, which makes it a perfect book to read on a cold Sunday with some hot coco and a blanket. Although I had a minor problem with the romance at times, it was a great read. I can’t wait to read more books in this fun country series.
