The story is set in Sweet Meadow Park in South Wales. Molly Brown is 29 years old, an estate agent and has just bought Sweet Meadow Park Cottage, a run-down place she has loved since she was little and is thrilled to now own. But it needs a lot doing to it.
She meets her neighbour, the elderly Bill and his dog Patch, who are brilliant characters. They introduce her to a stray black dog she calls Jet. She takes him in and well, Jet was probably my favourite character of all.
Jack Feathers is 34 and the Parks and Highways Officer. He isn’t having a great time. His job might be in jeopardy, his sister Della wants to sell the house they share and his ex-girlfriend Chantelle is reluctant to let him go. He soon encounters Molly and they both find each other attractive, but they have very different ideas about the future of Sweet Meadow Park.
The book is really easy to get into. I was interested in Molly straight away, she comes across as a strong woman, but who also has a vulnerable side, so she is very realistic and you soon come to care about her. I was also interested to see how the house would develop and change over time, as well as the park itself.
I really enjoyed the book and wanted to find out what was going to happen. I even got up in the middle of the night to read another chapter. I hadn’t read this author before, but I’ll definitely be looking for her books in the future.
BLURB
The Cottage in Sweet Meadow Park
Enjoy a stroll in the park with this uplifting story of love, friendship and following your dreams.
When Molly Brown buys a derelict cottage in the middle of a rundown park, she hopes to return both the cottage and the park to their former glory. However, Molly soon begins to wonder whether she’s bitten off more than she can chew, especially when the good-looking guy from the council refuses to help.
In his role as Parks and Highways Officer, Jack Feathers doesn’t want to waste public funds on an overgrown, unloved park, no matter how gorgeous Molly is. But when he finds himself needing somewhere to live, Molly makes him an offer he can’t refuse – to move into her spare room, rent-free.
The catch? He has to help bring the park back to life.
It seems to be an ideal solution, until… Molly falls for Jack, the park is vandalised, and she realises he is still in love with his ex.
And soon Molly begins to regret letting Jack into her home, her life and her heart.
A delightful romance full of warmth, humour and community spirit, perfect for fans of Jessica Redland and Suzanne Snow.

Author Bio –
| Liz Davies writes feel-good, light-hearted stories with a hefty dose of romance, a smattering of humour, and a great deal of love. |
| She’s married to her best friend, has one grown-up daughter, and when she isn’t scribbling away in the notepad she carries with her everywhere (just in case inspiration strikes), you’ll find her searching for that perfect pair of shoes. She loves to cook but isn’t very good at it, and loves to eat – she’s much better at that! Liz also enjoys walking (preferably on the flat), cycling (also on the flat), and lots of sitting around in the garden on warm, sunny days. |
| She currently lives with her family in Wales, but would ideally love to buy a camper van and travel the world in it. |
