Summary
A series from Holly Hepburn, perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley and Katie Fforde.
On paper, Merina Wilde has it all: a successful career writing the kind of romantic novels that make even the hardest hearts swoon, a perfect carousel of book launches and parties to keep her social life buzzing and a childhood sweetheart who thinks she’s a goddess. But Merry has a secret: the magic has stopped flowing from her fingers. Try as she might, she can’t summon up the sparkle that makes her stories shine. And as her deadline whooshes by, her personal life falls apart too. Alex tells her he wants something other than the future she’d always imagined for them, and Merry finds herself single for the first time since - well, ever.
Desperate to get her life back on track, Merry leaves London and escapes to the windswept Orkney Islands, locking herself away in a secluded clifftop cottage to try to heal her heart and rediscover her passion for writing. But can the beauty of the islands and the kindness of strangers help Merry to fool herself into believing in love again, if only long enough to finish her book? Or is it time for her to give up the career she’s always adored and find something new to set her soul alight?

Brilliant!!
Thank you Holly, I really, really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed travelling to Orkney with you, I enjoyed meeting the folk who live there, I enjoyed the relationships between the lovely main characters and I really didn't want it to end. As always, wonderful narration by Karen Cass and excellent accents.
Such a lovely way to drift off to sleep every night and I can't wait for the next one.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book
A really heart warming story. Loved the characters and the whole setting. You really feel you are there and are part of the story. I want to go to Orkney and experience the nature there. Didn't want to stop listening but also didn't want the story to end...

Wow!
I couldn't stop listening! A wonderful story that made me fall in love with the characters and want to visit Orkney again. Karen Cass is my favourite narrator! And I've already purchased another book by Holly Hepburn.

Comfort Reading at its best
There's only one problem with Holly Hepburn books, they have to end! Another incredible story with loveable characters that you hate to leave, couldn't put it down!

Fabulous!
Once again Holly Hepburn has catapulted the reader to an escape from real life.
The return of a familiar character always makes me feel like I’m welcoming an old friend!
I thoroughly enjoyed this feel-good book. There are some laugh out loud moments and finished it wanting more as always. Karen Cass is the familiar voice of Hollys books and I’m glad she was the narrator once again.
I’d definitely recommend this book!

Liked this book but was hoping Mary would pick the Viking not the librarian .
But I must admit I have only chosen books read by Karen Cass . She is one of the best narrators I have ever heard and to be truthful I pick my books by the narrators then before they authors.

idiotic heroine
Woman comes to islands and goes nuts over good-looking men--I didn't buy the romance, but understood why her old boyfriend dumped her.
