Growing up in the beautiful Lancashire village of Neatslake, Josie Gray and her childhood sweetheart, Ben Richards, have always dreamt of living a life of rural self-sufficiency. And when Josie inherits her beloved Grandmother's cottage, it seems they might just have got what they wished for. Josie throws herself into her wedding cake business, whilst Ben supports himself as an artist. But the tranquil village turns into a hive of activity when Josie's childhood friend, Libby Martin - now a wealthy widow - returns to the village, planning a lavish wedding to rival any celeb bash. The day goes with a bang, and soon Libby and Josie are hard at work at their fledgling wedding business, hiring out Libby's beautiful Elizabethan home for ceremonies, with Josie creating all manner of wonderful cakes. But amidst all this romance, Josie's fairytale relationship with Ben turns into a nightmare, and she quickly becomes Love's number one cynic - until charming wedding photographer, Noah Sephton, arrives in Neatslake, with a very different outlook on love!

Terrible audio book!!! read by Judy Flynn:-
Some narrators can add a star to a review of a book by the way they capture the time, place or characters. But sadly this one removes several stars from an otherwise enjoyable romance. Was she the first one that they dragged in off the street, because they think that chick lit doesn't require a decent standard? Or did they actually tell her that she would be reading to a group of 2-year-olds? She speaks in the over-exaggerated, deafening style that some people use to speak to toddlers or the very elderly. She frequently gets the sense of sentences wrong and mispronounces quite simple words. Every scene is over-acted to a teeth-grinding pitch, regardless of what is actually happening in the story. I gave it half an hour in the hope that she would settle down and just read the story like a grown-up, or that I would get used to her, but in the end I had to give up. Very glad that I borrowed this from the library and didn't waste money on it. Trisha Ashley earned 4 stars, but the audiobook deserves one star at best.
