Love Heart Lane

I liked the cosy village of Heartcross and I also liked the idea of the story: a restaurant in need of rescue and a couple of likable characters. However, I felt that everything was told in fast-forward-mode. After only 2 days in Heartcross, Ella has THE idea how to save the beautiful restautant in a gorgeous location with the most delicious food by a highly qualified chef. It has only one problem: more staff than customers (nevermind the fact that owner Flynn just gave Ella a waitressing job, although he obviously doesn't need more employees but paying guests!). At the same time, after only meeting a guy only twice, she urges him to not keep everything bottled up but confide his innermost secrets to her. The rest of the book then went without a hitch, everything falling into place perfectly. All problems solved so very easily, and a grande finale with an annoying number of "Thank you" thrown in Ella's direction. "This is so surreal" exclaims Dolores at the big event in her honour, and yes, it seems to me that it really is.
