The Cottage of New Beginnings

Written by Suzanne Snow

Narrated by Grace Andrews

One crumbling cottage. One broken heart. A chance to start over? When Annie returns to Thorndale, a village in the English countryside where she spent much of her childhood, she’s looking for a new start. All she wants to do is fix up the cottage her godmother left her, and fix up her broken heart. When she clashes with local hero, Jon, Annie can’t help but wonder if coming back to Thorndale was a mistake. The village has clearly changed, and the last thing she needs is more drama. But avoiding the distractingly handsome Jon is proving impossible, especially when Thorndale seems to be conspiring to throw them together… Annie is looking for a fresh start with zero romance – but what if the only way to learn to trust again is to take a risk on love? The perfect cosy romance for fans of Julie Houston, Victoria Walters and Trisha Ashley.Suzanne lives in Lancashire with her family and loves to read. Amongst her favourite books are historical crime fiction and writers' biographies. Suzanne enjoys cooking, walking, especially in the Lake District, and developing and planting gardens. She is a member of the Romantic Novelists Association and the Society of Authors.

Reviews for The Cottage of New Beginnings

[Nichola English · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Lovely book where characters are nurtured and brought to life beautifully

[Kristýna Žáková · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It is a nice and easy book to listen to. But I found myself rolling my eyes so much it made me laugh. The main girl is always crying, talking in a whisper because she just couldn’t believe x or y. The narration is amazing because the narrator is actually whipering and cry talking. It is so good I sometimes wanted to slap the main character.
The big fight was about absolutely nothing. Which was very irritating. But as I said it is a nice and easy book to listen to with classic story and nice scenery.
