Heart in the Right Place by Lisa Hill

Lottie Hardwicke is Yorkshire’s answer to Kirstie Allsopp, but ten years spent raising her three children with husband, Drew, has relegated her to Saturday Girl status at the family estate agents. This is Lottie’s year; she’s turning over a new leaf and is going to make her time in property less of a borderline obsession and more of an actual career. Only, she hasn’t bet on her interfering in-laws returning to scupper her plans or her teenage crush, celebrity Tom Thorpe, arriving in the village and offering her the opportunity of a lifetime, which could compromise everything… 

Can Lottie have it all? Can she be a hands-on mum and get her career back, without wrecking her marriage in the process? 

I've never read anything by Lisa Hill before, so would like to thank Lisa Hill for writing an amazing novel to start this series off.

Lottie Harwicke is a mum of 3 kids and a wife of 1 husband who can never say no to his parents. So when Lottie finds out Drew's parents are moving back to the village of Clunderton, she wants to know why he kept it from her. BUT when her teen idol Tom Thorpe wants to buy Clunderton Hall, her father in law Edward Hardwicke wants all the power to himself (money grabbing so & so) and there is the part where in the paper Lottie & Tom was seen (supposedly canoodling lol) and to make Drew think that Lottie is having an affair with Tom Thorpe. But Lottie has other ideas and her infatuation with Tom Thorpe isn't what people think. Lottie wants to run her own estate agents and Tom suggests she helps his friends find a home within Leeds. Lottie thinks she's found a place, but there are complications. What is Pamela hiding and why did she come back to Clunderton? What is so special about Oak Acorn Farm? Is Lottie Hardwicke the next Kirstie Allsopp? What the heck is Edward Hardwicke up to in York?

I've loved reading this book in the series as it was nice to get a fictional character to do what Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer do in real life. Can't wait to read book 2 of this series.
