The Vet's Country Holiday
Chalk Hill #4
Lily Malone
Reviewed by Helen
I always look forward to a Lily Malone story, her characters are so easy to make friends with they have fabulous personalities and this author is sure to make you smile with her witty banter and this one was a beauty of a story, we are back in Chalk Hill a fabulous part of Western Australia even if it is make believe to meet Vet, Isabella (Izzy) Passmore and forensic accountant Elliot Fields and don’t believe all you hear about accounts, come along and meet them.
Izzy loves her job as a vet in Perth but she hasn’t had a holiday for a long time and when her best friend asks her to come to Chalk Hill and babysit her dog Bruno and her house Izzy jumps at the chance but after a few days things are not going to plan there have been no hunky farmers come along and Izzy is getting a tad bored. When a visit to the second hand shop in town changes things for Izzy in lots of ways, she is asked to help out and her first task goes terribly wrong lucky for Izzy Elliot walks into the shop and saves the day will he save Izzy?
Elliot Fields has been asked by his parents to return home and help them with their finances in running the Ski-Park they run on their old farm just outside of town, it has been a long time since Elliot has come home from Brisbane, Chalk Hill and home holds way too many memories. One thing that he knows is that he will need a new mug to use one that holds no memories, hence this brings him into the second hand shop and a rather messy meeting with the beautiful Izzy.
Izzy and Elliot connect instantly there are sparks and it is not long before these two are having coffee and lunch and counting the non- dates, add to that a chicken an injured duck and a lost man and his dog and the problems at the ski park that Elliot is doing his best to work out and Izzy constantly asking questions and helping Elliot even if he doesn’t realise it this book had me turning the pages.
This is a fabulous fun, witty and heartwarming story, beautifully written it brings out many emotions as well as some very funny laugh out loud moments, Izzy is realizing that she wants more in the future and she is not getting any younger and she is falling hard and fast for Elliot, but he maybe not the man for her, Elliot because of his past is good with numbers but loving he is not so sure of, but Izzy gets to him in so many ways, is it time to re-think his future? I loved Izzy and Elliot, I laughed and cheered them on through this story and I would highly recommend this one to all readers who love a great story.
My thanks to Harlequin for my copy to read and review
