Product Description
One fine day in May, Hattie's life changes for ever...Single mother Hattie has plenty of reasons to be happy. Her antiques business is flourishing, her teenage son is settled at boarding school and she's enjoying a fling with a younger, very sexy man. But when her job takes her back to the idyllic village of Little Crandon, painful memories of her first love - Dominic Forbes, the married politician she worked for years ago, the man who changed the course of her life - come flooding back...Things come to a head when Hattie bumps into Dominic's widow and his gorgeous younger brother, Hal, in the village and she finds her world turned upside down. Will Hattie come clean about what really happened with Dominic all those years ago? And, if she does, is she ready to face the consequences? Whatever happens, Hattie comes to realize that you can't keep running from your mistakes. It's time to move on and maybe, just maybe, let herself fall in love again...

disappointing story. Not at all like her previous novels which have been impossible to put down and incredibly funny.

Really disapointing, April 7 2010
By Basset - Published on Amazon.com
I read Catherine Alliott's book because (usually) they are a really good laugh - a little over the top, slightly silly heroines who always 'get their man'. This book however is a trudge through the life of a rather desperate if not out-right depressing (nearly) 40 year old. It borders on the moralistic, with a grim historic review, very few laughs, and a rather ridiculous 'convenient' discovery that ties up a rather messy ending. I can only assume that the author has never been seriously impoverished to have thought up the ludicrous conclusion!
I just do not know what the author was thinking - I'd certainly think twice before buying one of her books again, and I have really enjoyed most of her others.

Ew . . ., May 27 2010
By Marcy L. Thompson - Published on Amazon.com
I never read a Catherine Alliott book before, and I never will again. This was a chore to get through with no pay off at the end. The characters were more like caricatures, the plot was stupid and boring, and the main character was thoroughly unlikable. I'm pretty sure that every single person in the book did at least one totally unmotivated, unbelievable, completely out-of-character thing. The worst part were the little moralizing comments at the end of way too many of the chapters. They did not make the book (or the main character, who is also the narrator) any better, but simply added mawkishness to an already unpleasant read.
Listmania!
