I just loved this book. I read a number of authors after Xmas and most of them were awarded 5 stars. But to be brutally honest, they were more a 2.5 to a 3. It was hard finishing them. With this one, I couldn't' t put it down and dreaded it coming to an end. I loved it. 110/100 for Anna Martin.Henry received a call from his father's attorney informing him that his great grandmother he never met let alone had knowledge of her existence is planning to leave her estate to him and would like to meet with him. He is busy recovering from a gay bashing from his baseball team mates after they discovered Henry is queer, and a broken relationship. He packs up and leaves New York for England to meet his great grandmother Nell in Cheddar.Nell is somewhat of a free spirited dame and immediately connects with her great grandson informing him that his sexual orientation is of no consequence regarding his inheritance. She dies of pancreatic cancer. Henry avoids the village like the plague afraid of rejection and possible homophobia and communes and commute only with Shenal his great grandmother's lawyer. She too is a bit of a Hindi feminist. All the queers fit in nicely in this romance novel.Henry eventually met Ryan through Shenal to forge a business relationship and who forces him to join him at the local pub.Life went kind-a smooth sailing for Henry besides the money he needs to restore his great grandmother's manor house.He later met Ryan's sister, the delectable priest and the sexy masculine builder Scott.Will Henry find love, and what kind of love or will he return to New York with a bout of love lost?
