The Summer House Of Happiness by Daisy James

After losing her mother, Gabbie fulfilled her dream of becoming a perfumer, now though after rejecting a deal which would be left her working away from customers like she wanted, she is returning back home to Devon to see her father whom works in a garage he owns.

Only she doesn't expect Max, a mechanic at the garage who also restores his uncle's old vintage car. There's an instant sizzle of attraction and desire between the pair as they connect seamlessly bonding over their car knowledge and combined loss of mum's.

However, Gabbie can only help so much and when she has tidied up enough to make sense of the accounts does she realise the baggage is on the precipice of bankruptcy!

Gabbie also helps out locals wanting remedies as she rediscovers her mum's old personal summer house of aromatherapy oils and creams. While it makes them some money it's not enough, so when she gets offered another perfumery postion, will she take it and manage to save the business?

Ooh so much action especially in the last quarter of this book as everything comes to a head health, work and relationship wise! As a knight in garage overalls may just save them all from worrying anymore. Love, friendship, following your dreams and of course passion for your career shine through this book in every page as each character is dealing with something in those categories. I loved the idea of Gabbie working as a perfumer as it's so rare to fiction to hear of as a career and plot around that As I would love that job imagine the fun! It was a true show of family love throughout!

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
