When Julia Coleman meets Flynn Carter again in the cosy village of Heartcross it can only mean trouble. Flynn might be rich, brooding and sexy, but Julia knows first-hand he’s ruthless and she plans to watch his every move.

When Julia discovers Flynn’s plans for beautiful Starcross Manor her greatest fears come true. Because Flynn’s dreams of turning Starcross into a luxury hotel could ruin Julia’s dreams…and finish off the community of Heartcross for good.

Review

Julia Coleman was the owner of a Bed and Breakfast in the small town of Heartcross, Scotland.

Business was good, and Julia was busy with her plans of expanding the B&B when Flynn Carter moved into town.

The last time Julia had heard about Flynn, was when he jilted her friend on their wedding day. She knew him to be a ruthless businessman and was worried to learn he was the new owner of Starcross Manor, a stunning Georgian manor house in the most beautiful part of the town.

But when Julia met Flynn, he seemed to have changed. He was kind, thoughtful, and so very handsome. Her mind kept telling her to be wary, but her heart refused to listen to reason.

I loved the fact that both Julia and Flynn were in their forties. They were reasonable and mature, and their relationship felt right.

It did not hurt that Flynn was gorgeous and so very sweet. He had that successful businessman allure without sounding overconfident.

Julia was also a lovely character, very determined to fight for her business and the welfare of her community.

Starcross Manor is a light and feel-good read. Great for a little escape.

Great review! I also loved that our characters were in their 40s because it’s so rare that I see that especially in romances (or maybe it’s just what I read). This was a sweet story 🙂

True! I’ve been lucky to read a few books with older heroines but they are rare 😉
