A Country Dilemma
by Sasha Morgan
For Christie Newbury, moving to the Cotswolds as the new owner of The Templar, a quaint countryside inn, was supposed to be a dream come true. But then her husband drops a bombshell that turns her life upside down.
Architect Daniel James has just one month to find the perfect home. When his search takes him to the village of Treweham, his instant attraction to the Templar’s beautiful – and newly single – owner is a distraction he can’t afford.
Christie needs an expert’s eye. Daniel needs a place to stay. It’s only a business deal – but it has never been more tempting to mix business with pleasure…
Welcome back to Treweham, a village of scandal and secrets.
Perfect for fans of Holly Martin and Debbie Johnson.

Favorite Quotes:
The moment Christie’s eyes met Stephen Newbury’s, the attraction was instant. Across a hectic, rowdy pub packed to the rafters with rugby players and hen parties, they homed in on each other like radars. When their gazes locked, time stood still. Stephen’s pint glass hovered mid-drink, whilst Christie halted, her conversation abruptly stopped. An urge between the two pulled like a magnetic force, bringing them together in the thick of the crowds.
Being dead didn’t make you a saint.
My Review:
I am mourning the end of this series as I have reveled in Ms. Morgan’s active, quickly paced, and snappy storylines as well as her delectable hits of spice and amusing humor. This installment was more angsty and tautly wound than the first two as several of the main characters were dealing with difficult issues and major transitions, and floundering a bit with uncertainty. The issues were significant and relevant and the engaging storylines were well-paced, thoughtfully crafted, and insightfully and observantly detailed. I adored these endearing characters and am reluctant to bid them farewell.
In addition to providing me with top-notch reading entertainment, Ms. Morgan has been a prolific source for my Brit Words and Phrases List with yet three more additions: Scouser – a native of Liverpool; barm cakes – a soft, round, and somewhat flat bread roll which are often sold in fish and chip shops; and under the cosh – in a difficult situation.
Sasha lives in a rural, coastal village in Lancashire with her husband and Labrador dog. She has always written stories from a very young age and finds her fictional world so much more exciting than the real one.

I’ll have to check out the series, if only to add to my Brit vocabulary. It helps that you liked it!
They are on KU and the last two are currently on Netgalley. I believe reading them in sequence made them far more enjoyable for me.
its a series! I’m in!
Glad you enjoyed the series. And I always feel sad when a series is completed.
I love it when you come across Brit words. Barm Cake is only used in part of the country (Mainly North-West) as it is called other things in other parts, Bap, Roll, Cob, Bread Roll, etc. Great review. Sounds fun and I love that cover.
This sounds like a great read. I’m not sure how I feel about a whole series since I’m wanting to read more standalones, but this is great.
I swear you always find the cutest books.
Amazing review my friend, I am really glad you fully enjoyed reading this book series. This book really looks and sounds like an amazing book and right up my alley as well. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome post.
