Book Description:
Dearest Nell, if you’re reading this letter, I’m already gone. You’re my best friend in the world, and as my last request I’m asking you to lay me to rest hundreds of miles away, in my crazy gorgeous, totally one-of-a-kind hometown of Tansy Falls. I know you’re a born-and-bred city girl, but hear me out. After first losing Adrian, and then me… I know your heart is hurting, Nell. I think you’ll find that you need Tansy Falls as much as I do.
So, I’ve got it all planned out. For two weeks, you’ll be staying at the sweet, local inn and every day you’ll be trying something new. And if you follow my instructions to the letter, you may discover there’s more to my story than you think. A surprise something… or someone at the end of it? Only you can find out!
Some last advice before you set off, Nell. Don’t forget your sturdy boots and make sure to give Boomer, the inn’s resident dog, a belly rub from me. Stay well away from former quarterback Brody Knott (boy, do I have some stories about him!). And finally, let the future bring what it brings. While Tansy Falls may look small, I know better than anyone that new beginnings can be found in all kinds of places. That little Vermont town you’d never heard of? Well, it might suddenly begin to feel just like coming home…
If you love feel-good love stories by ReaAnne Thayne, Debbie Macomber and Robyn Carr, you’ll adore this gorgeous, heart-warming novel about starting over.
BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'The Inn At Tansy Falls' by Cate Woods.
Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Cate Woods, Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous.
Publication date 12th May 2021.
This is the first book I have read by this author. It is the first book in a three part series.
I was originally drawn to this book by its beautiful eye catching cover and its intriguing synopsis. It also stated in the synopsis 'If you love feel-good love stories by ReaAnne Thayne, Debbie Macomber and Robyn Carr, you’ll adore this gorgeous, heart-warming novel about starting over'. I am a huge fan of Debbie Macomber and Robyn Carr so am looking forward to see if it lives up to this. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture. I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully this won't be the first... Watch this space! (Written before I started reading the book).
This novel consists of 34 chapters. The chapters are medium in length so possible to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
This book is based in Vermont, USA 🇺🇸.
This book is written in third person perspective with the main protagonist being Nell Swift. The benefits of third person perspective especially with are that it let's you see the bigger picture of what's going on and you get to know more characters more, what they are thinking and what they are doing. It feels like you get to see the whole picture and not miss out in anything.
It is set over multiple time lines. When books show what has happened in the past and what is happening in the present I find it really helps the reader (if it is well done) understand why things are happening and what has lead to the present activities and decisions. It also shows the bigger picture.
Wow!! What an absolutely gorgeous book and I was completely over the moon when I came to the end of the book and realised that this is actually the first book in a three part series. I absolutely LOVED reading this and was devastated when my journey at Tansy falls same to an end.
This book is beautifully written with vivid descriptions and stunning surroundings I was absolutely captivated throughout. The cover and the synopsis work perfectly with the storyline.
The storyline is absolutely gorgeous. If you enjoyed reading 'P.S I Love you' then you will LOVE reading this!!! Instead of the husband leaving an itinerary it's the best friend Megan and she sends Nell on the most beautiful adventure. The storyline is realistic and down to earth and the setting is picturesque. I was absolutely sucked in from the first to the last page of this heartwarming and soul lifting page turner. On several occasions I had to reach for the tissues so make sure you have a supply to hand before you start reading this and clear your time table as you are going on a beautiful journey. I genuinely felt like I was on holidays in Tansy Falls and I was devastated when I realised I had to pack my bags and leave at the end. However, all is not last and I cannot wait for the next book in what promises to be a page turning series.
I fell in love with not just Tansy Falls but all the amazing people in there. It was such a friendly village where everyone knew everyone else and you would never feel alone. I loved how Nell's character and personality developed throughout the story and I bonded with her immediately. Her friendship and closeness to Megan is beautiful and a story that I won't be forgetting anytime soon. Nell went from a girl who was petrified to get on a plane to a strong woman changing her life. Jackson is an absolute hunk and I cannot wait to see where things go!! I LOVED Darlene who was such a vivid and larger than life character who I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of!!! Liza and Brody are just absolute slime bags and I'm sure we will be reading more of them soon.
Cate congratulations on an absolutely stunning novel and welcome to my top author list. Your book is a page turning heartwarming and soul lofting success and Cecilia Ahern has definitely got some competition!!! I would love to see this turned into a movie and I hope your busy writing book 2 as I for one cannot wait!!!
Overall an absolutely gorgeous book that will whisk you off to Tansy Falls and lift your heart and spirit. A page turning, addictive compelling novel that will leave you wanting more.
Genres covered in this book include Romance Novel, Contemporary Fiction and Domestic Fiction amongst others.
I would recommend this book to the fans of the above as well as fans of ReaAnne Thayne, Debbie Macomber, Robyn Carr, Cecilia Ahern and anyone needing a gorgeous break away.
272 pages.
This book is just 99p to purchase on kindle via Amazon which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!
Rated 5/5 (I LOVED it ) on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Amazon US and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.
