About this listen

Seren Maddison left behind a rainy Britain to follow her dreams and live and work in Lisbon.

The vibrancy, the beautiful scenery and the sunshine, made her fall in love and she knew, instantly, that it would be her forever home.

International artist Reid Henderson has homes in Lisbon and London. Following his painful divorce, his dream is to turn his luxurious home into an art school and gallery.

When Seren and Reid first meet, there is an instant attraction, but they are both people who have been hurt and each has dreams that are so far apart, they aren’t even on the same page.

Can they enjoy one summer of happiness together, as life bestows a gift of memories to cherish for the rest of their lives? Or is their destiny to chart a path into the future, in a home where dreams can come true?

Seren and Reid may be about to discover that love is as much about what you are prepared to give up as what you are prepared to keep hold of.

Let Lucy Coleman transport you away to sun-drenched Portugal where true love really can conquer all and home is where the heart is. Perfect for all fans of Trisha Ashley, Holly Martin and Sue Moorcroft.

It was a good few chapters before I got into this, and it was a really slow Burn. There were long descriptive pieces which didn’t really help with the story and were unnecessary. overall though a very easy listen whilst doing chores around the house with a predictable finish.

Took a While

No sense of attraction between the two, just a tale about spoiled rich people. No real conflict somewhat boring.
