"This rural romance tingles with “will-they-won’t-they?” tension and seasonal sparkle."
Suzanne Snow’s Christmas at the Home Farm Vets, part of the heart-warming Hartfell Village series is steeped in seasonal spirit as it shares a very readable romance story set in the scenic Yorkshire Dales.
It’s the first week of December and Erin loves working for Home Farm Vets — she “loved being part of the team and building on the history of the practice” in the close-knit community she now calls home. Into this, Erin’s newfound stability is unhinged when Oli re-enters her life. Back when they were students at Cambridge, Oli “had dominated her first year almost as much as the never-ending hours of study had”. Oli was her first love, and now he’s her house guest as a result of him working as a locum at her practice.
Readers who love romantic details will become wrapped in the couple’s story as the narrative skips back thirteen years to relate the origins of their love story, when circumstances saw them spend Christmas together. In the present day, having had her heart broken by Oli, Erin seems set on following a once-bitten-twice-shy rule, but matters of the heart are nothing but complicated.
At once cosy and fizzing with friction, Christmas at the Home Farm Vets is the ultimate escapist novel for readers who relish rural settings and seasonal stories that elevate everyday drama to life-changing love.
Ten years ago, Erin had her heart broken by fellow vet student Oli. Now, she's his landlord.
All Erin wants is independence and security. All Oli does is travel the world after locuming at practices for a few months. So when he comes back into Erin's life, she knows it's temporary, no matter the lingering looks he gives her.
With Christmas approaching, the vet practice is busier than ever, and Erin is surprised at how well she and Oli work together to help the animals of Hartfell. From sharing meals in her cramped cottage to meandering the village fayre, the wall Erin has built around her heart begins to crumble.
But Oli's contract is coming to an end and he's shown no sign of wanting to stay. Has she set herself up for another heartbreak from the only man she's ever loved? Or will she realise that being independent sometimes means relying on others, and security comes with taking risks?
Be whisked away this Christmas to the Yorkshire Dales, for fans of Sue Moorcroft, Trisha Ashley and Heidi Swain.
