Author: Wendy Owens
BLURB supplied by Tess Watson of My Pathway To Books
A broken heart is only the beginning for her.
Bookworm Annabelle Hart thinks she’s found the love of her life. But when her fiancĂ©'s philandering ways shatter their happy future, she decides she’s through playing the victim. Now, rather than read about life, she wants to live it—starting with a sabbatical from her editing job in Chicago to travel the world. But the past refuses to let her go so easily.
He thinks he has his life figured out.
After watching the woman he thought he loved walk away from him, Holden Blackburn is still picking up the pieces. Content with his life as the owner of an English Inn, just outside the sleepy town of Alton, he’s living his new and peaceful normal. That is, at least, until Annabelle stumbles into his life, and he’s overwhelmed by a desire to learn all he can about her. Now if only he can get her to stay in one place long enough.
Will they risk their hearts on a new chance at love?
When her past returns in a way she can’t ignore, Anna panics, running from any possible future with Holden. She’s determined to keep her life from falling apart again, but she soon discovers the only place she feels safe is in Holden’s arms.
But some things even he can’t protect her from.



ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Wendy Owens was born in the small college town, Oxford Ohio. After attending Miami University, Wendy went onto a career in the visual arts. After several years of creating and selling her own artwork she gave her first love, writing, a try. Her first novel flowed from her in only two weeks time (then the real work started with four months of editing). That moment was when she knew she had found her calling. Wendy now happily spends her days writing the stories her characters guide her to tell, admitting even she doesn't always know where that might lead. Her first series, The Guardians, consists of five books, Sacred Bloodlines, Cursed, The Prophecy, The Lost Years, and The Guardians Crown.
She is better known for her romance books, Stubborn Love and Only In Dreams, both released in 2013. Coming in 2014 is her Wandering Hearts Series to include, Do Anything, It Matters To Me, and Jack’s Redemption.
When she's not writing, this dog lover can be found spending time with her tech geek husband, their three amazing kids, and two pups. She loves to cook and is a film fanatic.

INITIAL THOUGHTS
I admit I don't read a lot of what I'd call chick lit but I felt ready for a lighter read so decided to give this one a go.
MY REVIEW
I was invited to be part of the Blog Tour for this title and given a mobi e-copy in exchange for my honest review.
So Annabelle thinks that her whole life is mapped out for her and her future husband Then one day she has to drop by her house to pick something up (ironically something to do with the forthcoming wedding). When Annabelle enters the apartment she hears noises in the bedroom which she naively presumes to be intruders. Then Annabelle hesitates wondering what to do next, she realises that the noises are not burglars, far from it. Annabelle walks in a kind of zombie like state and ends up standing at the side of the bed, her bed, that is now holding a cavorting couple. The couple are her "future husband" and a blonde rather tarty neighbour.
It's in the aftermath of this discovery that Annabelle decides she needs a change. As she loves books so much she decides travel to England to see the places where some of her favourite Authors lived whilst they were writing.
