When two broken men look to each other for help, an unexpected romance blooms.
Stephen’s home, deep in the heart of the Welsh valleys, suits his reclusive nature. However, as he recovers from illness, he’s struggling to manage alone. As nature reclaims the land he’s poured his heart into cultivating, he becomes increasingly unhappy. His only outlet is his blog, where he documents the decline of the garden that had been his pride and joy.
He was a high-flyer, living and working in London, until addiction sent him into free fall. Now on the road to recovery, he still wants to make some changes, but he’s unsure where to find the purpose and fulfilment he craves.
A mutual acquaintance suggests Luke visits Stephen to help him out for a while, and a seed of hope is planted. From prickly beginnings, shoots of friendship emerge, blossoming into a deeper connection when they act on their mutual attraction.
This was only ever supposed to be a temporary arrangement, and soon Stephen will be able to manage on his own again. But both men need each other in ways they’re afraid to admit. If their love is going to last for more than one season, they’ll need to find the courage to be honest.
This audiobook is a standalone with a satisfying happy ending.

I loved the tenuous relationship between the MC's as their time together started and he way that Stephen pushed himself to be what Luke needed, yet when it was too far, Luke took care of him.
It was a generous story of two men in pain, both giving what they had left to each other. Very well done.
Amazing

What a perfect opposites-attract couple! Gruff and defensive, Stephen’s ongoing recovery from a debilitating illness has left him lonely and miserable. Meanwhile Luke is floundering while struggling to overcome his own demons. A mutual friend's suggestion these two pair up and help each other out is a good one.
It takes a bit of doing, but once these two men get to interacting, there's no denying the chemistry! Throughout the story I was charmed by Luke’s ability to open up, and then demand the same from Stephen. Laying it all out there, emotionally and sexually, leads to thei couple’s eventual success, and Jay Northcote writes some great dialogue (as well as some fantastically erotic love scenes).
I adored Hamish Long’s performance in the audio version of Where Love Grows. He uses two very distinct voices for Stephen and Luke, and that was essential for this novel. Luke’s adorable London accent shows his more playful, open nature. And Stephen’s gruff more formal speech adds to his character as well.
While the romance is really lovely, I got a real kick out of Jay Northcotes descriptions of Stephen’s home. The work that Luke does around the estate, as well as their trip to the nursery for plants, and the arrival of the chickens are wonderful - and I’ve got no doubt that Hamish Long bringing it all to life enhanced my enjoyment.
Beautiful Love Story, Hamish Long is Fantastic!

Hamish Long is one of my very favourite narrators. His delivery is so smooth and always focused on telling the story. I am in awe of his ease with different voices. This makes it very easy to listen to him and follow the story he is telling. ❤️
