A Winter Wedding at Willow Tree Hall /
A Way Back Home
(The Willow Tree Hall #3)
by Alison Sherlock
Full of warmth, laughter, tears and a wedding!
What happens when two lost souls find themselves? Perfect for the fans Jill Mansell and Carole Matthews.
After recent heartbreak, Skye Jackson finds herself homeless and on the road with only a classic Airstream trailer to her name. A surprise inheritance of a rundown little lodge on the grounds of beautiful Willow Tree Hall forces her to change her plans. However, there is a problem...
The lodge is co-owned by care-free, playboy Will Harris, who finds himself unemployed after a recent tabloid scandal.
Syke desperately wants a home to call her own and needs to move on as quickly as possible. Will doesn't want to stay at his family home either to face the ghosts of his past. So they decide to put aside their differences and renovate the cottage together.
But when a storm hits, Skye and Will are forced to stay on to ensure that an important wedding goes ahead. Can Skye finally find a home of her own? Can Will stop running from his past and help out his family when they need him the most?
The magic of winter at Willow Tree Hall is about to change everything...
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
Sam, looking across the table to Skye. ‘As a woman, what do you think is the fastest way to this man’s heart?’ ‘Through the chest with a sharp knife,’ she retorted, shooting Will a piercing look.
‘No need to sound quite so surprised. I was brought up quite properly, you know.’ ‘And then what happened?’ she couldn’t help but ask. His eyes twinkled. ‘I reached adulthood and everything was legal.’
‘The school run was a total nightmare this morning. I forgot Barnaby’s homework. Although he’s only six so why the hell is he getting homework anyway? Then Joshua decided to try cat food for the first time. He’s okay. Hopefully, he’ll get shinier hair and stronger teeth like the packet says. Then Millie had a total meltdown at nursery and turned into something from The Exorcist.’ … Megan gave Skye a weary smile. ‘Hi. As you’ve just gathered, I’m Mother Inferior.’
‘Jeez, I’d forgotten how bad it was,’ he said, with a grimace. ‘This is where happy ever after comes to die… This is a UN disaster zone, not a place to hold the most glamorous wedding of the year.’
He’s always looking for his next near Mrs…
My Review:
This was a sweet, witty, and lavishly detailed enemies to friends to lovers romance. The humor was clever and generously peppered throughout the various storylines with snarky quips and quick banter that often put a smirk on my face. Will was a selfish, scandal-ridden, and philandering asshat and I didn’t much care for the spoiled wastrel until midway through the book when he began to evolve into a surprisingly thoughtful human being who could finally see beyond his own nose. I was slow to join team Will but I adored the rest of this large and quirky cast of characters with my favorite being the fun, often married, well-clad, and feisty great-aunt Rose. Rose was an elderly cougar and party-central. This was my first time reading Ms. Sherlock’s delightful scribbling and didn’t seem to struggle at all with jumping into her series with the third book. I enjoy her engaging and agile storytelling and have added her entire listing to my TBR. I’m greedy like that.
