This was a very superficial read, I felt that the characters were friends with benefits at best.I never saw a proposal l coming because there was no romance. And this is a romantic book. This truly lost me. the secrets that Caroline was keeping led to her almost ending up in jail. Where she would have been if this was actual reality. So now she's engaged and all her crimes just poof and disappear.

In Band 2 geht es nun überwiegend um Caroline, Annas Ex-Schwägerin (also der Schwester ihres verstorbenen Mannes). Sie kommt zu Annas Hochzeit.
Auch Caroline hatte es nicht leicht und sucht nach einer Veränderung. Da bietet ihr Jonathan an das neue Restaurant der Carters zu leiten. Jaja, Jonathan… der wohl noch einzige heiße Junggeselle in Little Somerby

Knocked a star off for the cat incident, I felt it was unnecessary and overly harsh and as a cat lover, it upset me.
However, it was nice to come back to Little Somerby again, and catch up with Matthew and Anna once more and I knew Jonno would get his happy ending. It was obvious that Caroline was running from something other than a bad relationship but I didn't guess what it was.
On the whole, very enjoyable

I usually fall for these cute covers & enjoy this kind of MC-leaves-everything-behind-to-start-afresh-in-the-country set-up, but this particular book failed to appeal to me on any level.
The false mysteriousness of the MC, Caroline, was not only over the top ridiculous (clearly this was not going to be a Mata Hari/Poison Ivy kind of story), but also kept me totally disconnected from her.
The chemistry bw Caroline and her love interest was zero: there was a tired routine & monotonness to both their one-night stand attraction as well as their "HEA". So it was in total detachment I struggled through the pages and my only emotion was one of relief as I finally finished.

Caroline Hemingway has a one-night stand with her sister-in-law Anna's new brother-in-law Johnathan Carter at Anna's wedding to Matthew. Unfortunately the next day he offers her a job managing the new restaurant which the family is building to showcase their cider and local produce. I have to say I was a little confused by that because Caroline's experience was in organising events, not running a restaurant.
Caroline's reasons for leaving her old job are very mysterious and involve a man - the reader is left to speculate what happened. As the restaurant opens Johnathan and Caroline dance around each other - but he has commitment issues and she thinks it would be tacky to be having an affair with the boss.
I liked this book but I didn't love it. It is clearly a sequel to Anna and Matthew's story, which I have not read, whilst it could be read as a stand-alone easily, there was a lot of typing up loose ends for Anna and Matthew in this book. I think the characters didn't really jump out of the page at me and I couldn't really see why Caroline and Johnathan thought they were in love with each other, they didn't seem to even know each other very well. Maybe if I had read the first book I would have got more of an insight into their characters.

Bumped for release.

Bit too tidy for my taste and a bit silly (more so than you would expect from something like this) and an over-mention of Hotel Transylvania 2 but a nice read for long rainy afternoons indoors :)
