Books like Wild Oats

Listened to in audio format.In my twenties I used to read nothing but chick lit, as I got older my tastes changed. Now I mostly read thrillers. However I do still enjoy books by Veronica Henry, Katie Fforde and Marian Keyes.I have read/listened to a lot of thrillers this year and I fancied something light hearted for my next listen. Jamie Wilding has returned after a 10 month trip to South America after the death of her Mother. Jamie's Father Jack Wilding is penniless and is about to sell their house and most of their land to Rod Deakin.Jamie is shocked she is about to lose her home. She is especially upset that Jack is about to sell to Rod Deakin. Jamie and Rod went out together at school. Jamie loved Rod and lost her virginity to him. She was devastated when Rod's older brother told Jamie that Rod had told him all about it. Humiliated, Jamie promptly split up with Rod and never saw him again. Rod went on to marry Bella and they are unsuccessfully trying for a child.Jamie's friend Chiff has returned to Shropshire from London after his Dad became unwell. Chiff and his sons love their new house and the countryside. His wife however hates the countryside and yearns to return to the city.Wild Oats was an enjoyable feel good book. Jamie was older then normal chic lit heroines so I enjoyed it more. I will listen to more of Veronica's booksin the future.
