Olivia(Liv) Bennett is passed over for a job she was looking forward to. Now she is on her way to stay with her ailing grandmother in England. Once she arrives Liv begins to familiarize herself with her surroundings as she hasn't visited that area in years. One of her favorite spots is Hartbury Hall where a scene out of Pride and Prejudice was filmed years before. Hartbury has fallen into disarray much to Liv's disappointment. Especially the fountain that was the center of the most famous scene from the movie. When Liv gets a less than cordial greeting from the groundskeeper she is truly disappointed that her romantic notions about the Hall will never be realized. Liam Browne just wants to be left alone to lick his wounds. Too many disappointments with women have caused him to be jaded and unhappy. When Liv's enthusiasm to revive the Hall for public visitations brings new life to Liam he is determined to work just as hard as she is to bring it to pass. Will their efforts bring restoration to not only Hartbury Hall but also to two people who have been struggling with disappointments in life?
What a cute Christmas read! Of course I love anything with a Pride and Prejudice theme, and this one was perfect. I love all of the characters in the story. Even though Liam was prickly at first I enjoyed reading his thawing out. I loved his sister who seemed to match Liv's enthusiasm for the project at hand. And Liv's vibrant mind full of ideas was so fun to see developing and executing. A sweet story, and I'm looking forward to the next in the series.
