Not Part Of The Plan (Ebook)

I loved how a childhood friendship came back around after years of no contact. The turn of events of Poppy and Eliza having to put the past behind them for their future. Did they ever know what they really wanted? You will have to find out.

When the prologue has you hooked before the book starts, you know it’s a goodie. Not Part of the plan, did just that. Poppy and Eliza were destined but, I wanted to know who would buy the cottage in Scotland and, what their paths had in store. That’s why this book had me almost speed reading to find out. Excellent story. Lovely ending.

Clare Lydon again takes us on an epic journey: self-discovery, second chance romance and family secrets, London, NYC, Scotland, Switzerland.
Poppy has shied away from the family business - luxury watches - for good reason. Now she wants to try and is teamed up with her first crush Eliza who is a savy business woman and part of her father‘s business. Turns out Poppy has a knack for great business ideas. And then there is the slow simmer with Eliza with lots of times together. But family business have their own rules and there are some twists ahead.
I loved the slow burn, the enthusiasm of Poppy‘s ideas. The pinch of paranormal fitted into the story surprisingly well. I liked their travelling and esp. the Scottish setting.
As always with Clare Lydon: well-written, great chemistry and a good story.

I received an ARC. The review is left voluntarily.

Another fantastic book from Ms Lydon, this one set in the world of watches. Poppy had no intention of following in her grandmother & mothers footsteps into the family watch company. That is until her aunt, who is now in charge following her grandmother & mothers deaths, tells her she is going to sell the family company. Poppy now wants in at the company, but her aunt has a condition, she not only has a time expiry date on improving the company; but has to work with her old crush/childhood best friend/enemy Eliza. I loved the interaction with Poppy & Eliza and the secondary characters are interesting also. Well paced and a really interesting read, would highly recommend.
