Love Heart Lane – where friends are there for you no matter what
A second chance…
When her grandfather Marley passes away Grace Power discovers she’s been left the beautiful but crumbling estate of Heartcross Castle. As a single mum of three, Grace has no idea what she’s going to do with it – but who can say no to a roof over their kids’ heads and a chance to get away from past hurts?
And a forever home
Heartcross Castle is full of secrets – especially a lost security deposit box that holds the truth to everything… But when celebrity chef Andrew Glossop sets his eyes on the castle and, to make matters worse, mistakes Grace as the new housekeeper, Grace tells him there is absolutely NO CHANCE he is getting his hands on her home.
Devastated to have got it so wrong, Andrew will do anything to make it up to her – but is she willing to listen?

Our Review
I have read and loved every single one of Christie Barlow’s books and I have to say that this one was by far my favourite. Heartcross and LoveHeart Lane feel so familiar to me now and this story about the castle really brought all the previous books together even more and made me feel at home.
As much as there was a very sad and upsetting beginning, the story swiftly moved on to one of sheer joy and total escapism.
I loved Grace and her three sons were so adorable and I really felt part of the adventure as they discovered the joys of Heartcross Castle. I could really feel the emotions that Grace went through especially the guilt of leaving her grandfather all those years before.
There were some lovely twists which I didn’t see coming which added intrigue to the story as well.
I
loved old Hector and the chickens and just about everything about this story
and Heartcross castle would definitely be on my list of places to visit. I wish
it was real and I’m already missing all the characters so shall be looking
forward to the next book in this wonderful series.
Sincerely
