About this listen

When Lewis Harley has a health scare in his early forties, he takes it as a wake-up call. So he and his wife Charlotte leave behind life in the fast lane and Lewis opens the antique shop he has dreamed of. Bonnie Brookland was brought up in the antiques trade and now works for the man who bought out her father’s business, but she isn’t happy there. So when she walks into Lew’s shop, she knows this is the place for her.

As Bonnie and Lew start to work together, they soon realise that there is more to their relationship than either thought. But Bonnie is trapped in an unhappy marriage, and Lew and Charlotte have more problems than they care to admit. Each has secrets in their past which are about to be uncovered. Can they find the happiness they both deserve?©2017 Milly Johnson (P)2017 Simon & Schuster Audio UK

Loved this book

As usual this book is filled with humour. Colleen Prendergast also as excellent as ever keeping the story running along smoothly. I listened to this story on audible and had to have it running whilst doing most things as I found it so enjoyable. It was a little predictable but I can forgive that for the entertainment value. Kept it coming Milly Johnson and Colleen Prendergast.

Brilliant light story.

I absolutely loved this book, a nice light read with happiness znd dark moments. The narrator really brought the characters to life. It was that good I'm going to listen to it again in a few weeks.

A very good book

I loved this book, it is really well written with a good story line. Colleen did a very good job reading it as she always does. the characters were amusing. I did think the ending was a little hurried and a bit strange never the less it did not spoil my overall enjoyment of the book
