Summary
 Journalist Eleanor McCartney leads a glamorous life in London exposing the sordid secrets of famous celebrities for Hot Gossip! magazine. But her perfect life is a sham. So when her world collapses, she has to reluctantly head home to her mum and friends in the quiet country village of Cranley. Willow Tree Hall is still in the midst of extensive renovations under the careful eye of Eleanor's best friend Annie and her fiancé, record producer and future Earl of Cranley, Sam Harris. With a recording studio now in the grounds of the estate, it should be the perfect place for global singing sensation Tom Kingsley to hang out. But Tom is burnt out after a gruelling worldwide tour and is escaping the paparazzi after yet another scandal. Eleanor cannot believe her luck. A story on the world's biggest superstar would be the ticket that gets her job and glamorous life back in London. But soon both Eleanor and Tom begin to fall under the spell of Willow Tree Hall. Eleanor begins to wonder whether she can really betray his trust. And does she really want her old life back or is home really where the heart lies? As a heatwave soars, friendships are made, truths are told and, with the help of a stray dog, perhaps love can be found as hearts are healed. By escaping to the country, maybe Eleanor and Tom have found their new beginning...©2018 Alison Sherlock (P)2019 W. F.

I have missed listening to a really enjoyable story about people, life and romance. The story includes all of the above with lots of Lifes trials and how community operates. I recommend this is a great listen.

Awesome

I really enjoyed this story and all the characters revisited after the first story. I preferred the other narrator as she had a gentler voice but the story was so great that I eventually didn’t mind it so much. I love the simplicity and the old fashioned values.

Beautiful story

There was a lot to be sorted out in this story but it all came together for the most deserving characters in it.

A Wonderful Journey

A little predictable but an easy listen. I do recommend it for a good feeling story.

Fun story

Too much talking and talking about nothing that interesting. I think it was aimed at an older 70s+ listener
