There’s blossom in the trees and daffodils as far as the eye can see. Maddie is looking forward to a fresh start in the countryside, but there’s just one little problem…

Following a scandal at her high-flying PR agency, twenty-six-year-old Maddie flees London to help promote what she thinks is going to be a luxurious holiday retreat in the countryside. Everything is riding on her making a success of this new job…

Yet when she arrives, Maddie is horrified to find a rundown old farm in a terrible state. The brooding and secretive owner, Seth, spent all his money on leasing the land when he fell in love with the beautiful, dishevelled farm cottages and the very romantic story behind them.

When Maddie discovers an old oil painting by the original owner’s wife, she unlocks the secret of the farm’s history and quickly realises she must start getting her hands dirty if this very special place is going to have any chance of survival. As she and Seth begin working together, the stunning view from the top of the hill is not the only thing that’s leaving her breathless…

After weeks of hard work the dream looks like it might become a reality, until a secret from Maddie’s past threatens to snatch it all away again. Can Maddie find a way to save the business and herself? Will she finally find a place to keep her heart within the crumbling walls of the little cottage on the hill?

Perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan, Lucy Diamond and Debbie Johnson who are looking to escape to the countryside and fall in love watching the seasons change.

After a varied career, Emma Davies once worked for a design studio where she was asked to provide a fun and humorous (and not necessarily true) anecdote for their website. She wrote the following: 'I am a bestselling novelist currently masquerading as a thirty something mother of three.' Well the job in the design studio didn't work out but she's now a forty something mother of three and is happy to report the rest of her dream came true.

After many years as a finance manager she now writes full time, and is far happier playing with words than numbers. She lives with her husband, three children, and two guinea pigs in rural Shropshire where she writes in all the gaps in between real life. It's a county she adores, her love of its beautiful people and landscapes providing endless inspiration for her books, and in fact the only thing that would make Shropshire more idyllic is if it were by the sea.

Pop over to her website www.emmadaviesauthor.com where, amongst other things, you can read about her passion for Pringles and singing loudly in the car. You can also wave to her on twitter @EmDaviesAuthor or find her on Facebook (a little too often than is good for her).

Captivating story, but fairly predictable. Still loved reading the story and feeling all the emotions of every character. Hoping that everything works out the way you think.

The Little Cottage on the Hill is an exceptional book, a fun story to read, filled with situations and people that go together to make this story so interesting. Join in with Maddie, Seth, Clara, Tom, and Trixie, quite the mix of people, as they work together (some of the time anyway) to bring the country homes and property up to a vacationer's dream. Mix in all these people from all their varied backgrounds, histories, and temperaments, and you have a grand story to tell. This is a book to make you smile and find that all is not all as it might seem - sometimes it gets even better! I highly recommend The Little Cottage on the Hill, it is an enjoyable read and has a good clean romance developing as the story progresses, even though both parties may not really want it or give thought to it because of past history.

This story was great! It was a page turner.
There were times of frustration, times of deception, times of self growth. and times of passion.
The characters were so real and their dedication to their goal of rebuilding and creating a dream
to come true was inspiring.
I recommend this book to all dreamers and entrepreneurs.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice little story of second chances
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2023

Madeline gets a job in the countryside after a colleague steals her ideas but sets her up instead, making her have to leave London in disgrace. Working at Joy’s Acre is her second chance. Seth owns Joy’s Acre and he has his own ideas of how it should be renovated. It’s a nice story of finding your place. There were times when I felt like too many details were being withheld from the reader. It’s a while into the book before we know why Maddie left London. Why? When Maddie reads the life-changing story of the original owner - it changes her whole outlook on things, but I felt like I’d missed something. She’d settled down to read the journal at the end of the chapter, and at the beginning of the first it’s the next day and her entire perspective of the farm and her place there has changed, because of the story she’d read. We needed to read some of that story, instead of just being told in the next chapter that it changed everything for Maddie. The romance between her and Seth was OK. The supporting characters were interesting. This was a nice story, but while the characters and their purpose were interesting, I don’t know if it’s enough to bring me back for the rest of the series.

I enjoyed reading this book.I'm not a big fan of romance,but this book is exceptional.i felt like watching a feel good movie. The characters are too realistic and optimistic. The story focus on a career oriented woman who's full focus is on her job and how a past bad experience can change people. Romance part is too sweet and realistic.
