Marry Me at Willoughby Close by Kate HewittMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
In the fourth book of the series we were introduced to Alice James, a young woman who had been through various foster homes and nursed her grandmother until her death, before living rough until she was helped by Ava. Now, she has been employed as Lady Stokeley's live-in carer. Unfortunately, Lady Stokeley's nephew Henry Trent finds Alice thoroughly unsuitable and tries to sack her. Eventually they settle on a one month trial period, but as the time progresses Henry and Alice find they like each other more and more.
This is (currently) the final book in the charming Willoughby Close series and it's a classic romance between on the one hand the heir to a baronetcy and on the other a homeless woman, daughter of a drug addict and product of the foster care system. all aided and abetted by the feisty Lady Stokeley.
As is to be expected we see all of our favourite characters from the previous books as this series draws to a close.
These books can be read in any order, I think I read the fourth book first, but in order to enjoy glimpses into the developments in each character I recommend reading them in order.
If you ever find Katie Fforde heroes and heroines a bit two-dimensional then I recommend Kate Hewitt, her novels are what I always hope Katie Fforde's will be but so rarely are.
