The Forever Cottage by JIll Steeples

 💖💖💖💖💖/5


The Forever Cottage by Jill Steele, book one in The Lower Leaping series, is a heartfelt and heartwarming story about rediscovering oneself following the collapse of a marriage; turning one’s world upside down.  Tess’s life suddenly changes as she finds herself alone after 30 years of marriage, when her husband leaves her for a younger woman. Her daughter is away travelling and the only thing getting her through the day is Barney her little dog.

 

Determined to overcome her grief, Tess decides to decorate her beautiful garden office, transforming it into a personal retreat. However, a chance meeting with the charming yet struggling Rob Temple disrupts her plans, as she offers him the space to stay, sensing a kindred spirit. With the support of her long-time friends, Gina and Suzy, Tess must venture outside her comfort zone and embrace a new way of life filled with secrets, opportunities, and second chances if she is willing to seize them.

As Tess begins to blossom and find true happiness, she begins to see things that were possibly in front of her all along. She starts to focus more on herself, her interests and what makes her happy rather than the needs of her soon to be ex husband. Along the journey not only does Tess find herself, true happiness, and seeing an improvement of her life, but she also realizes the importance of friendship, family and romance, set in a beautiful setting.

 

This delightful read might be the first book I have read by Jill Steeples but it won’t be my last as I really enjoyed this book; with its picturesque setting of a charming Cotswold village and the enchanting Forever Cottage makes it an inviting escape. It is evident that this marks the beginning of a series, and while the story concluded somewhat abruptly, it leaves one eager to discover if Tess attains her happy ending, what happens with her daughter and her unusual situation.
