When Daisy’s mother falls ill she is forced to return home. With her twin sons in tow, she moves back to Half Moon Farm, her family’s ancient hop farm.
But a new life in the Kent countryside isn’t necessarily as idyllic as it might seem. Daisy’s relationship with her mother is complicated and the tumbledown farm isn’t the only thing that needs rebuilding. Daisy and her sons must adjust to life with estranged family, a leaking roof, and no WiFi.
Luckily for Daisy, she might yet find some distraction in silver fox farmer, Drew, or in the haughty heir to the nearby estate, Kit, who she can’t seem to avoid.
Daisy must learn to juggle her new life, the boys, and the daunting task of updating the farm. But there are secrets lurking in her family’s past that might throw everything into further disarray…
MY REVIEW
Return to Half Moon Farm is my very first novel by Holly Hepburn. And I have been blessed with this wonderful uplifting page-turning book. I have to fully recommend reading this story as so much happens in this fabulous novel, Return to Half Moon Farm. once I started reading from the first page I couldn’t stop reading for one minute. I just know all readers are going to love this new novel by Holly Hepburn. I find it quite amazing when I connect to certain topics throughout a well love novel. I absolutely love the idea that this novel was set in the countryside of Kent, and I live in Kent. I did feel sorry for Daisy, when her mother falls ill and she had to return home. No matter what, it was the right thing for Daisy to do, I would do exactly the same in looking after my mother. Daisy has done a wonderful job raising her twins. But Daisy’s twins will have to get used to no WI-FI while staying at her mother’s. I’m afraid I wouldn’t know what to do without the internet. The one is hand on my heart I do love a story where romance could be on the cards. Daisy certainly kept me wondering if she will let her guard down and fall in love. If you all love reading books by Milly Johnson, Cathy Bramley, Katie Fforde Miranda Dickinson then you are all in for a special surprise treat with Holly Hepburn novels. I purely loved every moment of this story, so a huge thank you to Simon and Schuster for very kindly sending me this lovely novel to read and review.
