The first book in the Applewell Village series

George can't throw anything away. But he's in danger of throwing away a chance at love

George Nightingale is a hoarder with a house full of junk. For years he's kept it a secret, rarely leaving his house and keeping social interactions to a minimum, but his carefully balanced system is now under threat...

Nessa Millbrook can't wait to get settled into her new home in quaint, rural Applewell. Everyone in the village is so friendly - except her neighbour, George, who wants nothing to do with her. But Nessa isn't one to back down from a challenge and she's determined to win George over.

The years have taught George to shield his heart and trust no one. Yet Nessa keeps reaching out to him - does he have the courage to take a chance, and reach back?

Thanks for the FOUR wishlist books!

A very nice gentle read.

This will travel to bookfrogster with wishlist books for kirjakko. I'm very happy to be keeping the trilogy together.

Received as a rabck from Poodlesister. Thank you! Just what the book doctor ordered. :-)

Well I wolfed this trilogy down over the past week. I really liked the dynamic between George and Nessa, even though they might seem like very different people. This was just the sort of gentle read I was in the mood for, plus I LOVE to read about decluttering and re-purposing items. Thanks for sharing these with me.

Set free at the Book festival meet up. Happy reading!

Picked up at the BookFest meetup - thank you. Unfortunately I only picked up 2/3 (someone else had already snaffled the other) so the trilogy is no longer together.
