About This Audiobook

Maddie Whittle can’t let go of the past.

Life hasn’t been the same since she lost her brother six years ago. She keeps the grief boxed away, instead focusing on turning her family’s estate into a recovery retreat.

So the last thing Maddie expects — or wants — is James Byron, a former schoolmate, showing up at her home in search of a runaway pig.

He’s infuriating, stubborn and a walking contradiction — a man who has no time for Maddie yet refuses to turn his back on the scruffy rescue dog who follows him everywhere.

But she needs help. And he needs a job.

The only thing they can agree on is their mutual dislike as they find themselves embarking on a winter of renovation, working side by side.

But against her better judgement, and the fact they couldn’t be more different, Maddie finds herself drawn to James more than anyone she’s ever met.

Maddie and James are entangled in something neither of them expected — an unspoken connection, a spark of something real.

Maddie has been living life in her brother’s memory. Can she find the courage to open her heart and live it to the full . . . this time, for herself?

From an award-winning author, this is a heartwarming story about finding love — or it finding you — in the most unexpected places. Perfect for fans of Cecilia Ahern, Nicholas Sparks, Shari Low, Amanda Prowse, Jojo Moyes or Holly Miller.

Grief is messy and love is inconvenient.

Book review: Before You Say I Love You by Sarah Gate.Here’s the thing—grief is messy, love is inconvenient, and apparently, piglets are the great unifiers. Who knew?

Not for me, but maybe for you!

I was really looking forward to reading this book based on the blurb, but unfortunately it was a miss for me. I'm not sure if it was the setting and the language barrier since I'm from the US and the UK slang and such was a bit distracting for me…
