Publisher Description

Petra Flint and Arlo Savidge were teenage sweethearts in a chaste, old-fashioned way. They never really told each other how they felt.

Now, years later, Petra is a jeweller by day, but by night she is a sleepwalker, never fully able to rest. Arlo is living in North Yorkshire, teaching at an eccentric boys' boarding school. Like Petra, he carries with him something that makes it hard to sleep at night.

In an ice-cream shop one rainy day, Arlo and Petra stand before each other once again. Is this their second chance? Isn't old gold as good as new? However, for love to blossom, they must finally put their pasts to bed - a past Petra can't quite remember and a past Arlo wants to forget.

"What a fun, heartwarming love story! There were times I could actually hear an English narrator and I enjoyed that too. Rating it a four because sometomes the whole "setting of the scene" got to be a liitle much for me. But overall, this story is well told and vividly described. I'm going to look for more by this author."

    " The reviews I read were either fantastic 5 stars or horrible 1 star. I come down in the middle. It is a cute little story about first love rediscovered and conquering obstacles. Some complained about the sex, it wasn't that graphic or frequent. One downside for the American reader would be the "British" vocabulary. I was able to follow the story quite well with only the occasional pause to figure out a phrase or word. if the reader must know the meaning of each word or phrase, and is not English this might be a tedious book for them.

    " Loved this book its not really a 5 but they don't have halves. Brilliant characters and storyline reminded me of my 30's so could feel for the main characters. And I learned about tanzanite which I didn't know existed. "

    " This book was rather okay. Petra finally meets up with a friend from 17 years ago and falls madly in love. However, both Petra and Arlo have lots of baggage to sort out. Eventually they realize they need each other's support to get through it. Very predictable plot and ending. "

    " In my humble opinion this is Freya North's best novel. It has the perfect amount of mystery and suspense. The characters are wonderful the storyline is well thought out. Read beautifully- smooth yet rich and surprisingly deep for a fast paced story. Very satisfying -thanks Freya!!! "

    " When I started reading this book (a B&N Free Friday nookbook), I wasn't sure if I'd finish it. But, about a 3rd of the way through it began to redeem itself and held my interest the rest of the way through. It's a unique "love at first sight" love story that I ended up enjoying. "

    " I am giving this 3 stars only because the storyline itself was cute....other than that it would be around a 2.5 star read for me. It took me so long to get through it. Parts dragged..just a slow read. "

    " Wow I'm really not sure how this won any awards. I tried hard to like this but the plot was very boring and the love scenes were just awkward. I did like some of the characters but the overall was pretty bad. I definitely will be telling others not to waste their time on this one. "

    " This was a free Nook book, and I was looking for something to read while I waited for a library book to come in. This was the perfect choice; not too intense, not too much of a romance (the characters are better than that),not stuck in the throbbing loins genre, just a nice light read. "

    " Eh. Lukewarm about this one. I just couldn't connect with the characters, though they were very likable. I'd be interested in reading other works by North, but this one was not something I'd recommend highly. "

    " Really a 2.5 ... Storyline was good, not great ... The author is very descriptive In both the countryside of England and the sex. I could've done without both and the story wouldnt have suffered at all. Positive side, I actually had to look up words and it's always exciting to learn new vocabulary! "

    " I can't seem to read these kind of books without having tissues close at hand. When Lillian McNeil dies, I could feel the turbulent emotions felt by Petra. I wasn't aware of the rarity of tanzanite and its limited supply. Some interesting facts included. "
