BLOG TOUR - New Dreams for the Village Nurse



DESCRIPTION:

Escape to the glittering lakes and pretty stone villages of the Lake District, where warm bright summer evenings are just around the corner, the bees are buzzing in the hedgerows, and village nurse Ottilie Oakcroft is beginning to realise that her second chance at true love isn’t smooth sailing…

Ottilie Oakcroft can’t imagine living anywhere but the village of Thimblebury. Since moving there after her husband’s death, the villagers have welcomed her with open arms, and it’s been a long time since she’s felt this happy. Another reason for the sparkle in her eyes is her blossoming romance with Heath, who showed her that second chances at love can happen.

But when a chance meeting with Heath’s glamorous ex-wife Mila sparks a terrible argument between the pair, and with Ottilie’s patients keeping her too busy to repair the cracks in their relationship, things begin to feel a little shaky. Especially when Simon, a handsome new GP with dark eyes and broad shoulders, arrives in Thimblebury, and Heath shows a jealous side that Ottilie has never seen before…

Ottilie knows how lucky she is to have found Heath but when she discovers that Mila has been secretly visiting Thimblebury she fears the worst. Heath tries to reassure her but why did he keep Mila’s visits a secret? Did Ottilie make a mistake when she opened her fragile heart or is she letting the hurt from her past stand in the way of their future?

A beautiful romantic escapist read about healing from past hurts and learning to love again. Fans of Jessica Redland, Shari Low and Jo Bartlett will be transported by New Dreams for the Village Nurse.

MY THOUGHTS:

Ottilie Oakcraft doesn’t have much to complain about since moving to the gorgeous village of Thimblebury. Ottilie moved there after the death of her beloved husband Josh. She is dating Heath now, and has begun to develop strong feelings for him, but her husband’s fortieth birthday is coming up and Ottilie feels she must honor his life for such a milestone. Heath is more than understandable and offers Ottilie his full support.

Ottilie is a nurse who dearly loves her patients, even visiting those who might have difficulty coming into the office on a regular basis. As I had a major surgery this year and had a few months of visiting nurses and therapists, I really felt connected to Ottilie while reading this story.

What a lovely and sensitive story. Love is gentle and love is kind, and I loved seeing Ottilie on her journey, all while keeping her patients foremost in her mind. There is a strong level of emotion in this story and I was rooting for Ottilie every second while reading this book. I am very much looking forward to continuing this series.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

From a young age, Tilly Tennant was convinced that she was destined for the stage.  Once she realised she wasn’t actually very good at anything that would put her on the stage, she started to write stories instead. There were lots of terrible ones, like The Pet Rescue Gang (aged eight), which definitely should not see the light of day ever again. Thankfully, her debut novel, Hopelessly Devoted to Holden Finn was not one of those, and since it hit the Amazon best seller lists she hasn’t looked back. Born in Dorset, she currently lives in Staffordshire with her husband, two daughters, three guitars, four ukuleles, two violins and a kazoo.
