"It took me a while to settle into this one- but did enjoy the book. I think I would give it 3.5 stars if I could! You know what to expect from a Katie Flynn. This one was set mainly in Wales." — Kim (4 out of 5 stars)

" This book really deserves 3 1/2 stars but you can't do that. I liked it but didn't really like it. I kind of figured out how it was going to end about 3/4s of the way through. A nice little read. "
" rubbish .. gave up on it after 150 pages ..just waffled on and nothing happened "
" Lovely heartwarming tale, really enjoyed this... "
" This was OK - not one of her best books - but an easy feel good read. "
" I nice, easy read. Nothing too dramatic happens and can be a bit long winded at times - but a good storyline. Not Katie Flynn's best - but still OK. "
" I enjoyed some of it however i didnt like the way it ended it should of carried on a bit more! "
" It was a good, nice easy read but ended too abruptly. Didn't take much concentration but was quite enjoyable. "
