The House of Birds and Butterflies: The Lovebirds
Cressida McLaughlin
Rating: 5 stars
Amazon UK £0.99
A gorgeous new romantic series from the bestselling author of The Canal Boat Cafe
It's winter at Meadowsweet nature reserve. Wildlife-lover Abby is busy trying to lure in the crowds, and although her event planning is a little on the wacky side, her creative efforts are helping to keep Meadowsweet afloat. She's not having quite the same luck, however, in getting to know the elusive village newcomer, disgraced celebrity author Jack. It's clear that Jack has mysterious reasons for staying out of the limelight, and the village rumour mill is in overdrive.
Abby's passion for the great outdoors is nothing short of infectious and when Jack joins her on a special nature walk, sparks unexpectedly start to fly.
As their relationship thaws, should Abby be on high alert? Or would a new romance be the most natural thing in the world...
The Lovebirds is the second part of a four-part series.
-----------------------------------------
Another brilliant part in this new series by Cressida McLaughlin. I felt much more connected and interested in this second part - so much so I didn't put it down and finished it in one sitting! I feel like we got to know the characters so much better in this one. Although, having said that, some of the characters which were in the first part didn't make much of an appearance in this one and we got to know a lot more about Jack and Abby's blossoming friendship.
The pair meet up for coffee after Christmas and get along swimmingly, but Abby is then left confused when she goes into the pub one day and gets given the cold shoulder from Jack. Having said this, Abby didn't give up and Jack soon come out from his mood and the pair enjoy their afternoon in the pub bonding over some of the pub's famous chips!
I'm really enjoying the nature walks that Abby is doing as well. I've found myself really getting into these and loving reading about all the animals and wildlife. As well as this, Abby and Jack take a look inside the famous empty Swallowtail House and are quite taken back by what they find inside. This second part in the series is full of great story lines which will leave you hanging on for more. This is a brilliant addition to the series and not only was the book as a whole extremely interesting, the plot is well thought out and develops at a great pace.
I can't wait to see what part three brings! Thank you to Netgalley and to the publisher for a chance to read this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.
