#BookReview ~ Fireworks at Pennycress Inn by Sarah Hope ~ @SarahHope35 @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks


Fireworks at Pennycress Inn

🍂 Sparks are flying in more ways than one...

After years of juggling teaching with volunteering, Polly is finally ready for a change. When she lands her dream job at Meadowfield Nature Reserve – with the promise of a promotion in three months’ time – she trades in the stress of the classroom for the beautiful autumn days of the Cotswolds countryside.

Pennycress Inn is the perfect base for her fresh start: charming, cosy and filled with friendly faces. But everything changes when Zac, her attractive but infuriating ex-colleague, arrives. He’s here to take up a post at the reserve too – and is also staying at the inn! Worse still, the promotion Polly was counting on is suddenly up for grabs – and Zac’s her biggest rival.

With three months to prove herself, Polly must navigate village life, unexpected emotions and a career-defining challenge. As tension simmers and fireworks fly, will Meadowfield become the place she truly finds where she belongs – or will she be forced to walk away from everything she’s dreamed of?

My Review:

Fireworks at Pennycress Inn is a fun, rivals-to-lovers romance. Polly leaves her job as a teacher to follow her dream to work for the Meadowfield Nature Reserve. She has 3 months before her guaranteed promotion. She  gets to Pennycress Inn to start her new adventure, only to learn the one man she couldn't get away from, has also been assigned to the Meadowfield Nature Reserve. And, he's vying for her promotion. 

Polly and Zac are great characters. They get off to a rough start, especially with their history, and the competition to get to the promotion, but close proximity starts to shift how they act together. I enjoyed watching them tiptoe around one another, avoid each other, and then attitudes begin to slowly change. This is a lighthearted romance between two rivals and I loved watching their story unfold.

I was provided with a copy of this book. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
