Summer At Skylark Farm by Heidi Swain

 

Amber is a city girl at heart. So when her boyfriend Jake suggests they move to the countryside to help out at his family farm, she doesn't quite know how to react. But work has been hectic and she needs a break so she decides to grasp the opportunity and make the best of it.

Dreaming of organic orchards, paddling in streams and frolicking in fields, Amber packs up her things and moves to Skylark Farm. But life is not quite how she imagined - it's cold and dirty and the farm buildings are dilapidated and crumbling.

But Amber is determined to make the best of it and throws herself into farm life. But can she really fit in here? And can she and Jake stay together when they are so different?

This is the second of Heidi’s books, and I loved it just as much as the first. 

I fell in love with the idea of living in a small rural place like Wynbridge in book 1 but this book made me want it even more. A lovely little countryside village where everyone knows each other, where they organise fayres and get togethers and everyone attends. It’s just so romantic isn’t it. 

I love Jake, I can’t tell you how much I fell for him for some reason. Amber is lovely too, I love how much she cares about people, and wants to help with everything. And I loved seeing some familiar faces from The Cherry Tree Cafe book pop up, it ties it all together. I really know I’m going to love this series and can’t wait to dive into the next one.
