Review

*Firstly apologies for the delay in this review*

With a title like Clover Cottage i knew straight away this book was going to be a bit of me. It was. A small quaint village with an epic support network, and ive heard rumour of some great cakes too.

Allie loves her small village life with Rory, ready to settle and take the next step when they are offered chance to move into their own cottage - what more could they want?

Except that isnt what Rory wants, he has his own plans, plans that involve Africa and moving away for a while - where does that leave Allie? Especially when his plans look set to become real with the help of TV star Zach Hudson.

This was a great read. Allie was for the most a great leading lady, however she underestimated herself alot, and at times was very secure - i sometimes wanted to tell how strong she was, but thats what her friends were for. To shake some sense into her. Rory, was equally as enjoyable to read, he was sometimes caught in his own little bubble too - but thats why the relationship worked, it wasnt all sunshine and daisys. The couple had their flaws and their issues and natural reactions to situations life was throwing at them.

I loved visiting Love Heart Lane and would love to return.
