The Hopeful Hearts Bookshop By Debbie Johnston

The Hopeful Hearts Bookshop By Debbie Johnston


Single and in a dead-end job, Kate feels hope spring when an anonymous invitation falls from the pages of a book. Now, she’s standing in a charming Scottish village and trying to ignore the six-four silver fox by her side. He’s got an invitation too, a husky Chicago accent, and dangerously gorgeous sea-blue eyes…

Widowed ex-police officer Brody never expected to be stranded in Scotland with a cute British lady. Her smile might be bewitching… but her attitude? Way too cheerful. And eccentric bookshop owner Moira says they can stay for free, as long as they don’t mind sharing one very cozy little cottage.

That’s the least of their problems. Turns out Moira’s bookshop needs them just as much as Kate and Brody need a fresh start. And with a twinkle in Moira’s mischievous matchmaking eye, things are soon hotting up in surprising ways!

But as they string fairy lights over snug reading nooks and rally the whole community to buy their favourite reads, can Kate and Brody save the bookshop and heal their hearts? Or will their fresh start come crashing down?

My Thoughts:

When a book is set in a bookshop, you know as a reader it is going to be good. This story is about two people, Kate is lonely and feels as though nothing is going for her right now until a invitation falls out of a book, she knows this could be her chance of happiness so when she takes up the other and finds herself next to a very attractive man could he be the answer to her prayers? Brody is feeling the same as Kate and neither of them realise how important each other will become to the other. It was such a lovely read to melt away with. I liked the characters and I also liked seeing how Kate and Brody blossomed. They also need to help a struggling bookshop but with passion on their side this must surely work? I just loved how cozy and relaxing this story was.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
