About this listen

Escape to the seaside village of Little Pondale with parts one and two of this heartwarming and romantic four-part serial.

Mia Ward is amazed to learn she has inherited her great-aunt Matilda’s thatched cottage in the tiny seaside village of Little Pondale - especially as Mia didn’t know she had a great-aunt. She’s even more astonished to discover she’ll inherit the place only if she actually lives there for one year.

Mia’s a city girl at heart, not to mention she’s afraid of water, so the fact the cottage backs onto a sandy beach is not a bonus. When her best friend, Ella, and Ella’s brother, Garrick, offer to help her move and settle in, Mia decides to see this as a new beginning.

It may also be the start of an exciting adventure because now Mia wants to know just who, exactly, was Great-Aunt Matilda. But it soon becomes clear that someone is trying to make sure Mia doesn’t stay in Little Pondale.

Really liked this story but as others have said the bloody Nora's and lovies where a bit much, every so often yes but there are just too many. Saying that I will listen to the next one to find out what happens (hopefully)

good story

Love this! Finally something that you think is going along the classic route, but has amazing little hiccups along the way. Loved it.

Great twists on something you think you have heard before

A fun story that gives little snippets of information that keep you reading. How the story unfolds of why a person she'd never met would leave her a cottage and 10 thousands dollars is a question that kept me reading and looking forward to parts 3 and 4.

Lighthearted and entertaining.

I tried to persevere with it. But I gave up because it lost its way

Too much swearing.

The book is ok, but the phrase “Bloody Norah” now makes my ears bleed since it’s used pretty much in between every sentence said. I never heard it before, but now I hate it

Bloody Norah

Interesting story, bit of mystery, comedy and romance. It also takes you on a journey but ends quite abruptly.

Had me hooked

This story leaves me feeling as if it’s unfinished. Some of the performances were not great and some were wonderful. The overall story was good but as I’ve said, it feel very unfinished and was disappointing. I’m hoping for more books to finish the story.

Hopefully there’s another book or two?

It is so to have a good listen and no swearing in every sentence. The storyline is interesting, and wait to hear the rest of parts 3 and 4.

Great Storyline

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

What a stupid ending it ended only half way through the book. Very unhappy with the so called ending. I don’t think that I will ever listen to another one of your books. 👎

Very disappointed ending of a book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

What drivel. I can’t believe I got as far as I did before I binned it. Ridiculous story read in an annoying accent.

Mills & Boon are alive and well

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
