I chose to read Between the Lines as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team. I received a copy from the author, but that does not alter my review.
American Sadie Reed is an editor and is sent from New York to Great Missenden, England, by her boss, Jess Harper, to help British author Corbyn Pearce finish his much delayed book. Sadie has recently parted from her ex-fiancé, Nate. Corbyn was in a terrible accident a few years before that has left him with physical and emotional scars and caused him to become something of a recluse in his manor. His only contacts being his sister, Ellie, a doctor who lives in London, and Edie and Paul, his housekeeper and groundman, who are as close to him as parents. Oh, and there is a gorgeous dog, Riley. We mustn’t forget him!
What Sadie finds when she arrives to work with Corbyn is a grumpy technophobe write who doesn’t want any help. Will she manage to get through his defences?
I enjoyed reading this well-written novel recently while on holiday. The pace is steady, the characters believable, and the outcome warm and satisfying.
For all those in search of a slow burn romance and feel-good story, this is the one for you.
Thank you Georgia.
You’re welcome, Rosie.
