Remember Me at Willoughby Close
Welcome back to Willoughby Close, with four new residents and happy endings to deliver…
Allison Neale is grieving. A year after her beloved husband’s death, she’s still left with far too many questions and is struggling with feelings of guilt, anger and grief. Hoping to rebuild her and her children’s lives, she moves to Wychwood-on-Lea with her two troubled kids—an eleven-year-old son with too much energy and a fourteen-year-old daughter flirting with the same depression that afflicted her father.
The warm community of women who have lived in Willoughby Close welcome her with open arms, and their friendship helps Allison find a semblance of peace. But when an entirely unexpected attraction to her son’s teacher, James Larribee, emerges after he gets into trouble, Allison is gobsmacked. James is charming, funny and ten years younger than her. Basically, completely unsuitable. Besides, her husband Patrick was her soulmate…wasn’t he?
As revelations about everything she once held dear surface, Allison wonders if she is reckless or maybe just brave enough to try for love a second time.

I gave up on the last book in the series because I couldn't engage with the characters and I found the vast range of issues suffered by all the characters in the books was becoming unrealistic and tiresome so it was with some trepidation that I bought this book.
I needn't have worried, Kate Hewitt has returned to her old sparkling form with this novel.
Laura Neale's husband Tim died 15 months ago in a car accident. She has moved to Willoughby Close to get away from the memories associated with their old house, to down-size to something cheaper, and to be closer to Tim's parents. Her son Sam is 11 years old and seems relatively unaffected as long as he can play Minecraft, her daughter Maggie is older and angry with everything, despite agreeing to the move she hates everything about Wychwood-on-Lea.
When Laura gets asked to see the headmaster of the local school her mind immediately goes to the worst place, but it turns out that the insanely attractive headmaster James Hill just wants Sam to set up a Minecraft club after school.
Laura and James are attracted to one-another but is it too soon? He is nine years younger than her, is that too much of a gap when she is over 40 and he wants children? What will the other mums at the school gate say? What will her children say?
This was warm and cosy, although we see other residents of the Close past and present it doesn't feel like the cast of thousands that it has seemed in other books.
Overall, this was a great finale to the two series of books and I look forward to seeing what is in store for the Close in its next incarnation.

Remember Me at Willoughby Close is book 4 in Kate Hewitt’s series, Return to Willoughby Close. I have read many of Hewitt’s book, including the others in this series, and I felt like I was coming home for a visit with dear friends, catching up on the latest goings-on. This book, like her others, is a quick read. Her writing draws me in immediately and I look forward to what will happen next.

Kate Hewitt does angsty romances so well and this one is certainly filled with plenty of angst. Forty-one year old widow Laura Neale has moved to Willoughby Close with yer children Maggie and Sam to make a fresh start a year after the death of her husband Tim. It’s clear as the story opens that all three have issues dealing with their loss but for Laura and Maggie guilt also weighs heavily on their minds.
James Hill, Sam’s teacher, is nine years younger than Laura but the attraction is instant for both of them. He has absolutely no issue with the age gap and struggles to understand why it’s such a big deal for Laura. Frankly I think James has the patience of a saint because in addition to her hyper-awareness of how much younger he is Laura is a bundle of panicking, fretting and worrying woman. She dithers over committing, worries about babies, and panics at every moment. I did like her and I felt for her as she faced a pretty challenging time in her life but if I’d been him would I have waited around for her? Not sure I would. I’m just glad that his patience finally paid off.
I’ve loved the Willoughby Close books and this one is no exception. The setting is beautifully drawn so that you can easily imagine walking through the woods or having a drink in the Three Pennies. The characters are well-rounded and believable. It’s the way the story is told, with gentle ebbs and flows, that really appeals to me. I finished this book with a happy smile.

Remember Me at Willoughby Close by Kate Hewitt
Welcome back to Willoughby Close
with four new residents and happy endings to deliver…
Laura Neale is determined to make a fresh start. A year after her husband’s death, she’s still left with too many questions and struggles with feelings of guilt, anger and grief. Hoping to rebuild her family’s life, she moves to Wychwood-on-Lea with her children, Sam and Maggie, all of them struggling in different ways to fit in and find happiness.
The warm community of women in Willoughby Close welcome Laura with open arms, and, although wary, she finds their friendship helps her to take those crucial and challenging first steps. But then a sudden, intense attraction to her son’s teacher smacks her in the face. James Hill is funny, charming, and incredibly gorgeous—but he’s ten years younger than her and completely unsuitable. Laura’s not ready to start dating again, never mind actually falling in love. But what if her heart has other ideas?
As revelations about everything she once held dear surface, Laura wonders if she’s reckless or maybe just brave enough to try for love a second time. And if she is, can James be as well?

Then, the ping of another text. Hello, this is Sam’s teacher, James Hill. Sorry for the impromptu text— the school’s phone system is down. Would you mind coming in to school today a few minutes early so we could have a little chat? Laura found herself back up on the panicky ledge she’d been talking herself down from.
A chat? Why did Sam’s teacher need to have a chat with her on the second day of school? The terror of a major disaster morphed into the fear of a minor one, which felt much more real.
I recommend reading.

We return to Wychwood-on-Lea once more for Laura and James’ story. This time we find a widow along with her son and daughter moving to Willoughby Close after the death of her husband/their father a year ago. Maggie, the daughter is all teen non-cooperation at the move, yet Sam, her son is settling in much easier. Life has dealt some major changes this past year to this grieving family, but there is a chance for happiness if Laura can reach out with both hands and grab it instead of fretting and worrying about an age difference that doesn’t matter to the heart or to James.
Remember Me at Willoughby Close brings this return to a close with a charming story of finding love when you weren’t looking and overcoming having yourself be the main setback to a happy ending. I could understand this situation from every person’s viewpoint, no one was right and no one was wrong either, yet there is work to be done on any relationship in order to reap the rewards. Asking Laura to step outside of her comfort zone was a big deal, and eventually, she took control of her own life. It wasn’t easy but the steady, supportive love of James (not to mention his patience with them all) was well worth the risk.
I’ve loved this series, and we’ll get to revisit with a lot of those characters we’ve come to enjoy. Laura and James simply work as a couple no matter the age difference. That’s a message that needs to be shouted from the rooftops – age isn’t the barrier in relationships, it’s often how differently two people can view age difference that can wreck something really good. I’ve enjoyed being back in this world, and admit that I’ll miss it once again.

It’s been more than a year since Laura Neale received the phone call that changed the course of her family’s lives. After the death of her husband and her children’s father, the small family decides to make the move from the place they have little support to the small village of Wychwood-on-Lea and Willoughby Close for a fresh start and to move the children closer to her husband’s parents. Luckily, Willoughby Close is the perfect place to land if you need a second chance and a fresh start. It has a certain magic it weaves around its residents that connects them even after they leave.
Trying to find a new normal, Laura and her two children work to start over, she and Maggie, her daughter, have a tougher time. She’s happy that at least Sam, who had a tough time before, is thriving with the help of his teacher. With a little help from the handsome teacher and other current and former residents of Willoughby Close, they start on the road to healing, working through both guilt and grief.
Kate Hewitt has created a special place with Willoughby Close. REMEMBER ME AT WILLOUGHBY CLOSE is book 4 in the Return to Willoughby Close series and is just as special as the other three in this series (and the four in the first series). I love returning and revisiting characters from the past and meeting the new tenants. If this is your first visit, welcome, you won’t be lost, but I hope you will return many more times. I also hope that I will get the chance to visit again.
Thank you to the publisher for an advanced copy of this novel. All opinions are my own and freely given.

A new start and a new love.
A year after her husband’s death, Laura Neale was looking for a change. So, she packed her house and kids and moved to Wychwood-on-Lea and rents a cottage at Willoughby Close. Starting over wasn’t as easy as she thought it would be. Laura is now dealing with her teenage daughter Maggie’s rebellion and insecurities. At least her son, Sam, has adjusted well and with the help of his teacher, James Hill, Sam is quickly making new friends and even started an after-school group. When Laura met James, she was instantly attracted to him and they eventually start dating. But is it too soon, and will the kids accept their mother seeing someone new?
As with the other books in this series, I was instantly hooked and excited to see how Laura would start her life over and who she would fall in love with. I liked seeing her start new friendships with the other women in town and even getting back into teaching again. I also enjoyed catching up with the characters of past books. I would recommend reading this series in order because there are spoilers to previous books in each story.

Remember Me at Willoughby Close (Return to Willoughby Close #4) by Kate Hewitt is an emotional second chance at love. For this small family the loss of a father has been so devastating but Willoughby Close is a hope for a new beginning for them all.
This series has been one of struggles, overcoming and thriving in the life we have. Sometimes the cards dealt are not ones that are easy or ones we want in any shape or form. That is true for this family of three. However, the younger man love interest is new for this series. I like the way it played out.
I recommend this series to any hopeful romantic out there. Remember Me at Willoughby Close is beautifully written, not too long and is a stand-alone book even with the new friends being made from the previous books. That just serves to make you want to read their stories too.
An ARC of the book was given to me by Tule Publishing which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I love author Kate Hewitt's books because I get to take a trip to the UK without ever leaving the US. In this book, we are once again in Wychwood-on-Lea and if you have read any of the other books in this series you will know that this little hamlet of a town is indeed close to all of its citizens. It's like you move into one of the cottages and something special is bound to happen. If you like it or not. Widow Laura Neale moves to town with her children Sam and Maggie. Life after losing a parent/partner is always hard but throw in a new place and well it can be good or bad... it is definitely interesting and a good read that is for sure. I loved this book and recommend it and the other books in this series.

This book was a really great read. I loved seeing how Laura and her children were doing. Sometimes it is hard to deal with the cards that life deals you. Sometimes it is even harder to help our children deal with it. As we all have learned at some point in our lives we need to move forward no matter how hard it is. To me this book showed you just that. It was a really great read from beginning to end. I look forward to reading more by this author. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

Widowed Laura is seeking a new beginning for herself and her two children when they move into Willoughby Close. Their lives have been up ended and nothing feels right until Laura meets her son’s teacher, James, and things do get better-except for the fact that he’s ten years younger and Laura’s hung up on this. Fate has other ideas for Laura and James as time, relationships, and happenings intrude on Laura’s world and she opens up to a real adventure into happiness.

I love this series and the author is excellent. That being said I kept getting frustrated with the FC because of how she allowed her daughter walk all over her and failed to reprimand her for the blatant disrespect toward her parent. There is dealing with grief and the reactions of children that act out because of it, and then there is the main character who seems to just overlook every bad behavior from her daughter that requires addressing. I found the main character way past too patient and walking into dismissive.

Remember Me at Willoughby Close by Kate Hewitt is book 4 in the "Return to Willoughby Close" series.
You do get more out of this series if you know the town and all the towns people. Especially before reading this one. It sums up all the other books.
It´s about finding yourself after loosing a spouse and the effect this might have on the family and the kids.
I love Kate Hewitt´s style of writing and this series is just one amazingly written book after another.

I could totally relate to the 40-something mamas in this book. Hewitt did a great job describing the mom-group dynamics, the mother-child relationships, and the difficulty “reaching” a child who is hurting. Terrific job weaving a romance in with teen social issues and new-school problems. The growing friendship-turned-romance was highlighted, and Hewitt gave the other threads their due attention as well.

This book got on my nerves. The repetitive sentence construction killed me. Every other sentence was like,” “She/he felt or had to do... And yet…” This book wraps the series up with a widow and a younger man who are a couple of over-thinkers. Jace serves as the wise old soul with the much needed insight for a change, though Harriet is a force for good, with a little less force than usual. The old Willoughby Close gang is still around, and the epilogue provides a nice little bow on the package.

Alison is a widow and a single mother, who has just moved to the local area. She starts to make new friends, among them her son's teacher. He wants to be more than friends but she is worried he is too young for her.
There was a short epilogue, but I would have liked to see more of what happens next for this couple.

Nicely done
I liked the story and the connection between James and Laura. Both had past issues they needed to deal with and I'm glad they got some resolution . Thank goodness her friend Chantal was a voice of reason. The ending is intriguing. The author definitely has me curious on who is the new owner.

Oops realised this was from a different series to the one I was reading. Still enjoyed the way Kate writes about love and life. The characters have enough depth to be interesting but not over whelming and too far into unbelievable.
Good commute listens.
I didn’t rag it in two days I forgot to add to GR when I started it! Oops

Listened to this continuation of the series on Audible. Enjoyed the story of two more characters, Allison, who is grieving the death of her husband about a year ago in a horrible car accident. She meets James, her son’s teacher, and she falls for the younger man.

At first was worried this would fit the exact same formula as the other books in the series but happy with the depth of the characters and the story.
