Description

A surprise inheritance. A hostile lord of the manor. A chance at a new beginning…? When Cassidy Beeswhistle loses her job and her boyfriend within seconds of each other, it’s time for a change. Discovering her beloved late father’s connection to a tiny English village, it seems like the perfect place to start again. Especially because there’s a secret ‘lost deed’, which – if found – would return the village’s gorgeous manor house to its rightful heir: Cassidy… On arrival in Dithercott, Cassidy is blown away by the rolling hills and glittering lake, and the local villagers welcome her with open arms – all of them but one, that is… The current lord of the manor, Ned Bamford-Bligh, is tall and fiendishly attractive with his olive skin and jet-black hair, but he is also gruff and standoffish – and he has no interest in entertaining the new girl in the village; especially one who is potentially after his home, with its ivy-covered turrets and sprawling gardens. Despite Ned’s frosty welcome, Cassidy is drawn to his piercing, hazel-eyed glare and she’s determined she is to uncover the demons that keep him locked away behind the manor’s imposing stonework. Before she knows it, an undeniable spark builds between them… Just as Cassidy is feeling at home in Dithercott – and in the arms of Ned – he shows up on her doorstep clutching an old roll of parchment. Is this the discovery she’s been waiting for? And if it is, will its contents bring Ned and Cassidy closer together, or push them apart…? A heart-warming, laugh-out- loud story of home, friendship, family and finding love in the most unlikely of places. The perfect curl-up read for fans of Sarah Morgan, Milly Johnson and Jenny Colgan.

  • So Confusing, Ultimately Lovely
A most interesting story, but often so complicated. Perhaps life is really like that - complicated and wonderful. I am glad I persevered to the end, however.

  • The Accidental Inheritance
A very enjoyable story I hated to see it end. The small villages in England always come together and rally around their people.

  • Love At First Read
This is the first time reading anything by Cate Woods and I am so glad I decided to take a chance on this book. I really enjoyed reading this, the story line is so good and I instantly fell in love with the characters (Except Sophia) and once I started I didn't want to put it down! I really hope a sequel is in the making because I really would like to know what happens next after they roll the dice ... show more

  • Wonderful journey
A wonderful story that takes you on a journey to beautiful Dithercote, Great Britain as Cassidy struggles to find a place to call home for herself and her 9 year old daughter Nora and a chance to fulfill her dream to own her own restaurant. Lots of great characters and twists, troubles and turns as Cassidy with help from the from the mostly welcoming villagers of Dithercott shoots for her HEA! Hoping we get to get to greet Dithercott again as Rev. James and teacher Poppy still need to get together and we still need to find a soul mate for Angeline!! ... show more

  • Cute story idea
“The Accidental Inheritance” is a rom-com by Cat Woods. I found this to be a quick light read, not requiring a lot of attention with a pretty good story line - which was what I needed after a number of heavy reads. First - a huge shout to Ms. Woods for mentioning a minor league baseball team - the Sacramento River Cats! Any time an author makes a shout to to a MiLB team, I’m all for it. The plot of this book is a bit predictable, but I did like how things did work out in the end for our heroine. The parts I weren’t too thrilled about were minor - a local person *won* GBBO and he’s supplying treats - why isn’t that advertised anywhere? That alone would be a pull! Online reviews are bad, but word of mouth trumps them often (as does staying on top of the negative reviews and contacting the review site to get them removed). Overall, this was a cute story and I could easily see it being a Hallmark movie, if so decided. ... show more

  • A sweet lighthearted story
A double in in my book, a fun read and a new author. Cassidy Beeswhistle is a single mom of Nora who has had her share of bad luck. Lost her beloved father has and BF has passed away, she lost her job and has had a string of losers guys. She happens upon some research her dad was doing on their family tree and discovers her roots in Scotland. As if her dad is guiding her the once upon a time Beeewhistle Inn is up for sale. Her daughter Nora isn’t happy in Sacramento, and nothing is tying her to the city, plus this could be her dream come true, opening her own restaurant. But not as advertised, the place is wrecked, on the upside Nora loves it. I love the plot and all the ups and downs Cassidy has to face. A definite must read for the lighthearted readers out there. Thank you NetGalley for this eARC. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story. #NetGalley #TheAccidentalInheritance ... show more
