Christmas at Tillingford Hall

Tillingford Hall, Book 2

By: Flora Dunn

Narrated by: Nathalie Buscombe

Charlotte Patcham's dream job running the Bath Physick Garden has turned into a nightmare: the underfunded garden has become a target for vandals, and her career and her social life are succumbing to mildew.

So why does she hesitate to take the job of Head Gardener at Hampshire's famous Tillingford Hall? Could it be because her lying, thieving, cheating ex, Sebastian Seaton-Smyth, has also returned to work there after he left Tillingford Hall in disgrace?

But when fate pushes Charlie towards Tillingford Hall can she learn to work alongside Seb so they can get everything ready for the public in time for the opening Christmas concert?

And could Steve Silver, the foxy tree surgeon, be the kind of steady man Charlie could take to spend Christmas with her parents, or might Charlie and Seb reignite their sparkle in time?

Fun and Romantic

Loved the first and second book in this series. The characters are 3 dimensional and it’s a good story. Can’t wait for more.

Sweet story that took a while to get going

I was expecting this to be a continuation of that 1st book and missed Alice & Guy, but the story picked up a little. I didn’t like Charlie at any point in the story, especially how hard she was on Sebastian. I felt like people keep giving to her and she does nothing but take and complain. But it was a sweet, lighthearted Christmas story towards the end.

New Age Agenda?

I liked this series because it was pretty clean, although leaning lef, it was still sweet. This title, so far, has been so new age filled, I’m not sure I’m going to finish listening to it. It’s a common trend to take a sweet novel and insert some agenda phrases, but this seems it might have been written for the express purpose of introducing all the alernative things becoming common today. We shall see.

Should have stopped after the first book

The love interests need therapy, not each other. The female lead is a nearing-40 brat, and the male lead’s big romantic gesture is ignoring what his “love” wants and choosing what she should do for her? No, thank you. I was hoping for a cute holiday rom-com, but the spark between these two never seemed to light.

WOW

Excellent story. - very believable and very well developed story. The characters transcend and evolve. Very well performed. You will really enjoy it .
