It was a nice enough story but at least a hundred pages too long if not more!

This is the 3rd book in the 'Love in the Lakes' series, and as a Cumbrian lass, I was incredibly excited to realise that this book is based in... Cumbria.

This is a beautiful, feel-good romance based in the whimsical (but unfortuantely fictional!) place of Halesmere.

We start the story with Alice, who has had a bit of a hard time recently and who has decided to relocate to Cumbria for a fresh start and to be near her aunt. What she doesn't count on is meeting Zac.

I utterly adore Alice. She is completely relatable and you can honestly see her becoming your best friend as she is incredibly kind and considerate so finding out about her past, made me really feel for her as she didn't deserve it at all.

Zac, on the other hand, initially was a bit of a mystery as he was very guarded. He is definitely 'Book boyfriend' material even but as he starts a friendship with Alice and opens up to her,  you can see that he is exactly the same as Alice - he has a complicated past.

All through the book, I was cheering these too on and hoping they would get together!

Suzanne - That ending!!! I did not see that coming!

I love this book so much that I've already gone and bought Book 1 and Book 2 to read over December, and you should absolutely too.

I highly recommend this book as it is a beautifully written, feel-good romance that sucks you in and leaves you wanting to learn more!
