Description

Clem is perfectly content with her quiet, predictable life until a sudden change in circumstances forces her to reconsider everything she thought she knew about her desires. When she meets Victoria, a woman who carries herself with the kind of effortless grace that both intimidates and intrigues, the spark between them is as unexpected as it is undeniable. Their connection bridges a significant age gap, challenging their perceptions of partnership and self-discovery in ways neither woman anticipated. Set against a backdrop of wit, sharp banter, and deeply human moments, this story explores the complexities of falling in love when you least expect it. It is a tender, nuanced portrayal of two women finding their footing in a new chapter of life, navigating the delicate balance between their independent worlds and a growing, magnetic pull toward one another. With a cast of vibrant friends and an atmosphere that feels both grounded and deeply romantic, this is a celebration of authenticity and the courage it takes to pursue happiness. If you are looking for a story that feels genuinely real, filled with authentic emotion and the warmth of a hard-won connection, this beautifully paced exploration of love is your next essential read.

LOVE unexpectedly Barges In!

Hooray! It is another must read from the talented Emily Banting. Clem and Victoria’s story is about two women who are discovering themselves and each other at The Wharf found in the quaint English countryside. Both are embarking on much needed life changes and in doing so end up barging in-to each other’s journey and heart. Emily is outstanding with her storytelling as she immerses us into the world on Barging In with the banter, actions, and emotions her characters experience that keeps you turning the page to feel what’s next in this slow-burn HEA. You are in for a treat if this is your first Emily Banting book but make sure it’s not your last. :) (Yes you should read ALL her books!)

Baking, Boating, and Corsets

I loved this book that was parts enemies to lovers, canal life, age gap, and growth journey. Both women were great characters and went on their own self-discovery journeys. We meet Clem already in the middle of hers and see Victoria through her full arc from barely living to throwing everything that didn’t suit her off and learning that she can have the life she deserved. I also liked learning about life on the canals and the history of corsets.
