Magnolia House

Rowan Forrester has it all – the happy marriage, the adorable dog, the good friends, the promising business and even the dream home after she and her husband Tom win a stunning but slightly dilapidated Georgian townhouse in London at auction. But in the blink of an eye, Rowan’s picture-perfect life comes crashing down around her and she is faced with the prospect of having to start again. To make ends meet she begins a search for housemates, and in doing so opens the door to new friends and new beginnings. But could she be opening the door to new heartbreak too?

My Review

I loved the author's last book, Arlette's Story, but this one is very different and I enjoyed it just as much. By building up Rowan's perfect life, it is even more shocking to the reader as little by little, everything around her collapses. I'm not sure if this is a romance - it certainly has a heart-moving romance at its core but then the tone shifts and it becomes quite sinister in places. What matters though is that it's a darned good read! The suspense is tingling and the romance all warm and fluffy yet somehow the two complement each other. Cleverly written, yet easy to read, it is my kind of book.
