Loading... Marry Me at Willoughby Closeby Kate Hewitt
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) Lashea677 | Feb 16, 2019 |  TLE7460 | Apr 13, 2018 |  This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.The writing is well done. Alice James is working as a caregiver for a sweet dying woman who lives alone in her manor. Henry Trent is a nephew who comes across as a bit hard-nosed when the reality is that he's never been valued or loved in the manner that he deserved. Alice can relate to this (to some degree) as she grew up in foster care and had bounced from home to home due to her mother's drug addiction. Two people from opposite worlds, but their own pasts provide some common ground--they both want to love and be loved. I understand that this is the fifth book of a series. I wish I had the opportunity to start with the first book, so I would know how it all began and be more familiar with all the characters of Willoughby Close. But I like what I've read and I'm sure I'd be pleased with the other books as well.

Welcome to Willoughby Close... a charming cluster of cozy cottages, each with a story to tell and a happy ending to deliver... Alice James has been a drifter her whole life, working her way through several foster homes before ending up in Wychwood-on-Lea, feeling anchorless and invisible. When a chance encounter leads to Alice accepting a position as a caretaker and companion to Lady Stokeley, she starts to feel as if she might finally be able to put down some roots and live the way other people do. Then, Lady Stokeley's nephew, city banker Henry Trent, storms into Willoughby Manor, seeming to find fault with everything, including Alice. As the next in line to the manor and title, he threatens to upturn everything she's started to build. But Henry is hiding his own secret fears and weaknesses, ones he's desperate for no one to discover. A surprising and inconvenient attraction that simmers between them leaves Alice feeling more confused than ever, and Henry torn between duty and desire, fear and love. When circumstances become even more difficult, both Alice and Henry must decide who they really are, and what they are willing to fight for. Could Alice possibly be the next Lady of Willoughby Manor?
