What a brilliant read! – A New Dawn at Owl’s Lodge by Jessica Redland

Could one chance meeting change your life forever?

My Review:

For all her childhood Zara felt ignored or second best
With only her stepfather putting her above the rest.
Now her job has her travelling around
She isn't sure just where is her home ground.

She's no longer certain what she should do
With unrequited love and much to get through.
An injured owl has her visiting Owl's Lodge 
Where encountering her, Snowy is unable to dodge.

Snowy tends to shut out everyone when he can
But Zara's impact means he needs another plan.
His son and his grandfather both welcome her there
And he's surprised as he starts to care.

With family dramas in both their pasts
Can they put them behind them to find love that lasts?
Or will revelations send them running away again
Avoiding the option of causing more pain?

A brilliant story involving broken dreams,
Where friendships can build new futures it seems.
With healing, forgiveness and making fresh starts
Can help romance and warm hearts!

With great characters it is easy to relate to
Despite all that they are going through.
A lovely boy, gymnastics and owls, too.
A book I enjoyed all the way through!

For my copy of this book I say a huge thank you
As I share with you this, my honest review.

Synopsis:

Zara is at a crossroads in life. While she adores her job as a producer’s assistant working on hit TV shows, travelling around the country means she doesn’t truly feel that she has a home. With a fractured relationship with her family and unrequited love weighing heavily on her heart, she is torn about what her next step in life should be…

Snowy is hiding from the world. He’s devoted his life to home schooling his young son and caring for sick owls at his home, Owl’s Lodge, deep in the Yorkshire Wolds countryside. While he’s passionate about both, it’s a lonely existence and he’s starting to question his decisions. But how do you step back into a world you’ve pushed away for years…?

When Zara brings an injured owl to Owl’s Lodge, its frosty, reclusive owner is far from welcoming. Despite hostilities, there’s a connection that neither could ever have prepared themselves for. As they discover a shared passion, a new friendship blossoms, but both Zara and Snowy are used to shutting people out.

Can they both find the courage to open up and the strength to move on from their pasts? And what could this mean for their future happiness?
