About this listen

Open House is a deliciously engaging romantic novel from Jill Mansell, author of over 20 Sunday Times best sellers including The One You Really Want and Miranda's Big Mistake. For fans of Sophie Kinsella and Marian Keyes.

Nell O'Driscoll has known Marcus Kilburton for years - according to her diary, she even had a crush on him as a teenager. When he decides to open Kilburton Castle to the public, Nell takes a job as his assistant - and soon sparks are flying between them. But is Nell free to pursue Marcus when a figure from her past refuses to let go?

Meanwhile, Nell's best friend, Hetty Brewster, has other problems. Her husband has abandoned her for a bitchy but successful writer. Now the press is full of stories about the frumpy, boring wife losing out to a younger, slimmer model. But Hetty's about to get her chance for sweet revenge - if she can stop being a nice person long enough to take it!

I needednat least forum or rive tries to het in to gje story , understand who was who,and I found it a bit disappointing as Jill mansell usually writes stories with more depth and more with a point to them. Yes maybe that is what was lacking point. Nice enough but not an easy read in my opinion

A fabulously enchanting tale of villagers who run away from their troubles only to find it no good. Romantic and amusing.

Fabulous

Took a while to get into this one and initially didn’t like the voice of narrator but it slowly grew on me and I didn’t want to switch off

I think I will have enjoyed this book immensely - I just kept slipping to get past the performance. Still liked Petronella immensely.

Performance ruined it.

I usually love Jill’s story’s but l found it a struggle to get into until a few chapters from the end.I felt the narrator was putting me off as her voice was quite pompous and harsh, unlike other stories but it hasn’t put me off listening to further books written by this author.

Struggled with this story.

I did enjoy this story. Although very predictable as is most of Jill Mansell's stories, I found the narrator annoying. Her over pronunciation of certain words and names was grating at times.

Enjoyable but ....

So disappointing this book, I’ve read all her books and I found this story not captivating I really don’t know what it was, it could be the narrator, she was not great. I waded through the book, I have never put a book down and not finished it so I read on and couldn’t wait to finish it.

Not her best
