The Recipe for Happiness by Jane Lovering

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "The Recipe for Happiness” by Jane Lovering.  What can I say other than I loved it and read in one day.  Who doesn’t want to escape to the Yorkshire countryside…
'Beautifully written and both heartbreaking and heartwarming' Jessica Redland

When Seren’s brother Andrew signs her up to Yorkshire Dating, only for them to recommend that she ‘gets a life’ before they find her a match, Seren has to admit that they may have a point.

She loves her job cooking at an elder day centre and her little flat, but it’s fair to say her life is a little short of hobbies and friends. Since she was young Seren has felt safer close to home, but now she’s a thirty-something divorcee, it’s time for a change.

Change arrives in the shape of alarmingly clever collie Kez, who Seren offers to take in ‘temporarily’, and kind but mysterious new colleague Ned. But as Ned and Kez tempt Seren out of her shell, it means facing her fears. And when Andrew finally reveals the secrets of their childhood, Seren’s need for safety suddenly makes sense.

A problem shared is a problem halved, and with friends by her side, Seren might be able to get a life that she loves at last.
The setting of a village in the Yorkshire countryside, sounded breathtaking to me as I like to dream I live in the English countryside or by the sea.  I am particularly drawn to books set there but I must say this had everything you could want in a story love, family, community and a furbaby named Kez… 

This is a heartwarming story that is full of emotions and I will definitely read other books by this author.
I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Boldwood Books and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
