My Review:
Land Girls Of Goodwill House is another absorbing, interesting read from one of my favourite saga series. I’ve been a huge fan of this series from the start and always look forward to a new book coming out.
It was great to be back with the family and to visit Goodwill House again. Throughout the series they have started to feel like old friends so it was great to catch up with them. This time we visit them when some Land Girls are about to arrive which helped add an interesting element to the story as they all come from very different backgrounds and bring their own secrets with them. I enjoyed learning more about them and about the duties they had to fulfil in the course of their work.
The war has come to Goodwill House as it’s close proximity to the RAF base means they are experiencing bombing raids which helps add a little bit of danger and uncertainty into the story as we watch events unfold. Joanna’s romance with an RAF fireman was really sweet and I enjoyed watching it develop as I feel Joanna definitely deserves some happiness. It did amuse me a bit at first due to her initial reaction to the RAF base though as she’s definitely done a complete 180 in her opinion about that.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and hope there are lots more books to come in this fabulous series. There was lots of action that ensured I kept reading and lots of intrigue particularly as we learn more about the new characters. If you are looking for a new saga series I definitely recommend this one.
Huge thanks to Rachel from Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Boldwood for my copy of this book.
