About this listen

The emotional, contemporary, and completely relatable novel from romcom sensation Nicola May

Previously published as The Hub by Nicola May.

Jilted by her soap opera fiancé, crime writer August Saunders decides to return to her roots in rural Wiltshire. Determined to reignite her writing mojo, she rents a desk in a shared workspace in local Futtingbrook Farm.

The converted barn comes with a motley array of fellow users, including a matchmaker, a TikToker with a dodgy nocturnal side-line and an ethical clothes designer—causing August to realize she doesn’t have far to look for real-life plot fuel!

There’s also a real-life mystery for her to solve. Why is Max Ronson, the handsome but volatile owner, so evasive about his past? And who or what is he hiding on the premises?

As August begins to unravel the shadowy secrets of Futtingbrook Farm, will her curiosity snuff out the spark of romance—or ignite it?

Nicola May uses her inimitable style to convey love, grief, and happiness, making Futtingbrook Farm as beloved a location as Ferry Lane Market or Cockleberry Bay.

Perfect for fans of Milly Johnson, Sarah Morgan, Jill Mansell, and Cathy Bramley.

Really loved listening to this. Narrator was excellent. Great characters, great story. Was able to lose myself in this during a really difficult time.
This is as good as the rest of them. I’m now waiting for the next one. Hopefully we won’t have to wait to long!!!

Just what I needed. Absolutely loved it…

I have read several of Nicola May’s books, but decided to get this one on Audible and I didn’t regret it. The hub was such an entertaining to listen, This book was so funny and entertaining, I would have loved to hear more. I do hope that there will be another book with these lovely charcters.

What brilliant book!

Ok my positives on this book were that it’s a great entertaining novel.
An interesting set up and a great insight into how life affects people in so many ways.

My one negative was the use of the C*** word not once not even twice but four times.
Now I’m sorry if this sounds prudish bug in my opinion it is derogatory to women and has no place in this kind of literature.
If my grandchildren wanted to read what I was reading it I certainly would not recommend.
And I say that because at 9/10 I was reading books that were in my family book shelf.

I’m sorry if this review isn’t all happy but I think it is important. Will it stop me reading books by Nicola No but I will now be wary of what’s coming next.
To me it’s not a light hearted word

Interesting entertaining …..

Overuse of unnecessary bad language. Annoying use of 'bless' also. This wasn't a bad story, but has put me off listening/reading more from an author I've previously enjoyed.

Is this really Nicola May?

Same old story: disillusioned woman meets grumpy, attractive, complcated man who turns out to be love of her life. Told in upbeat, better than average manner and with interesting detail along the way about free range turkey farming.

Lively romp

Enjoyed every minute of this title, did not want to put it down, very well written with interesting characters. I have listened to the book twice now & am eagerly awaiting maybe a sequel?

captivating

We loved this Nicola May story. Hope there will be another Hub series as we have listened to Cockleberry Bay and Ferry Lane Market series.

Brilliant! Another excellent story by Nicola May

The plot of the Hub was obvious and rather dull. There was no one character that stood out or caught my interest and the narration was rather syrupy.

Sadly not to the high enjoyment standards Nicola May usually delivers.
