Erica James has written yet another wonderful story and done so in a way that it can at times be easy to relate to the characters and their somewhat complex emotions. The links between the present and the past were well written and made the story all the more enjoyable.
The narration has been done well and made it easy and enjoyable to listen to.

As ever a wonderful story

I loved everything about this book, the characters and their stories.
It kept me awake at night as I didn't want to turn it off, just one more chapter etc etc.
My first Erica James read, but won't be the last.

I loved this book from the start. The narration was excellent, perfectly suited to the characters and story.
The mix of historical and present day was pleasing.
I just wish Matthew had done something different with the house in the end, but you'll need to read it to understand, and maybe you will feel the same.

Will leave you with a happy heart
