Brockenridge #1
Nicola Marsh
Reviewed by Helen
I thoroughly enjoyed this rural romance, there are two romances running in this story, one second chance romance, and one for an older couple that had me turning the pages as I got to know Ruby Aston as she returns home to Brockenridge after running away eleven years before and Alisha Nathieson who gets her well-deserved HEA as well.
Ruby is coming home to the town she ran from years before, her mother Clara has just passed away suddenly and Ruby is heart-broken, she is met by her friends that are more family to her seeing as how there was only ever her and her mother, Harry, Alisha and Tash, but there is also someone else who has returned and that is Connor Delaney the person she had a crush on at school, the person she stood up.
Connor has finally come home to take over the reins of the family business with a big project to get off the ground he hits a brick wall when he discovers that the property he needs to purchase is now owned by Ruby Aston the girl who stood him up eleven years before and discovers his feelings for Ruby have gotten stronger in these years.
Alisha is rocked by losing her best friend Clara and this makes her want more from life she is caring for her elderly parents and the need to travel and to have a family are now stronger than ever and the pull she feels for the chef at the roadhouse Harry are getting stronger, but Harry seems to have some demons from the past that he needs to get over first.
There is a lot going on in this story, it is moving and emotional as all of the characters are working through feelings from the past and need to look to the future to find happiness, the characters are strong and are bought to life on the pages by MS Marsh and I love that it is the first book in a series and we will be back in the lovely country town of Brockenridge for more stories. If you enjoy rural romances then this is one that I very much recommend.
