Stately Pursuits

by Katie Fforde
Carver County library, paperback, 280 pages

British chick lit. Heartbroken Hetty Longden heads to Courtbridge to house-sit for an elderly great-uncle who's hospitalized. She ends up trying to save the house from the heir's determination to bulldoze it and develop once his uncle dies. Of course, she falls in love with Connor as they battle over the house's future.

I thought about just returning it to the library after the first few chapters, but doggedly finished it. I liked it better than I expected to, but wasn't really crazy about it. Fluff read. A bit shallow.
