I very much enjoy living in Trisha Ashley's world even when (as in this book) the story as a whole doesn't quite hold together. There are great quirky characters, a creative small town British (Welsh) setting and antics. This one has a feeling of "throw a bunch of events at a wall and see what happens" vibe - I liked it while I read it but it doesn't hold up when I think about it after.

Before I review this book I must firstly say that the first 50% of this book was somewhat slow and not at all a romance. I was thinking it was mistakenly labeled and was actually some kind of cozy mystery but somewhere around 60% the romance appeared.
I loved the romance and wished it were present throughout the whole book. I did, however, enjoy the mystery aspect as well as all the secondary characters and their stories.
Overall this was a truly unique book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, I just wished for more of the relationship/romance stuff.

Great book but it was really Miranda's story that had me gripped, I was happy to see her free at the end. I love the way Trisha Ashley makes her characters so likeable, even Nye who I hated at the beginning I grew to love!

Every once in a while an author creates a character that you just love. Sappho Jones is a fantasy writer, happy in her life until she realizes she's teetering on the edge of menopause and the last chance to have a child of her own. There's a sexy potter, Nye, who's a possible candidate for fatherhood and a roster of eccentric but lovable characters to cheer her on.
This is a quirky and fun story, a quick read with a lot of laughter thrown in for the reader. Sappho is a delightful heroine and I truly appreciated her and want her as my best friend. Ms. Ashley is a good writer and this is one of her best.

I usually love Trisha Ashley books, but I found this book so hard to enjoy. I found it hard to connect with the main character, most probably as there was no real introduction to her. The reader was given little snippets of information about her throughout the book, but it made it hard for me to like her.
I felt the story seemed to drag, but the ending was rushed.
Not one of her best works.
