Summary
Fall in back in love with life in this gripping read about fate and second chances.
The eagerly awaited new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author.
Thirty year old Izzy Sweetwell has a peaceful life. She lives in the sleepy village of Halfhidden with her aunt with her aunt Debo, who runs the local kennels, a home from home for waifs and strays in the area.
You couldn’t say that Izzy’s life is particularly exciting, but that’s just how she likes it, she’s bid farewell to a dramatic life since a terrible accident when she was a teenager and for now, she’s perfectly content with her aunt and the dogs in Halfhidden.
So what happens when someone forces Izzy to fall in love with life again? Will her painful past stand in the way of her future happiness? Can you make an omlette without breaking a few eggs?

Not what I expected.
Not what I expected but I am happy it was not!
Having read one of Trisha Ashley’s books before I picked this one at random expecting a love story that would be quite simple and easy.
Here I found some plot twists, a mystery from the past, an impossible relationship and more.
Overall a very enjoyable listen!

Umm.... so slow
Ah, I rarely write a review, least if all a negative one. However this book, for me was painfully slow and unimaginative. On the up side it was not the usual predictable mush. The narrator was also incredibly boring and shallow. Sorry it had great potential but didn’t hit the mark

Light & enjoyable
One of those stories where the nice, pleasant folk are well delineated against the nasty, selfish people. Goodness brings the good personalities happiness & all is just & right in the world for them, in the end. Not for some therefore if the reader is after the complexities of the human psyche. But for me it was endearing escapism. 1 annoyance was Narrator's rendition of male voices which made all males sound like Neanderthal half wits; & although some readers might think this to be a truism of Men it was annoying to listen to. Narrator very good with female voices.

Predictable and disappointing
Not much of a story and it could have been told in half the time. Very disappointing!

A Brilliant Book
This was another brilliant book by Tricia Ashley. She always takes you on a journey & you can never guess how things will end.
There's lots of twists & turns along the way.
I would definitely recommend it.

Take nothing for granted

What other book might you compare Creature Comforts to, and why?
Lucy diamond. Carol Matthews, Jenny Colgan et al. I know its Chicklit but they are a excelent sorties to chill out with.
Which character – as performed by Julia Barrie – was your favourite?
All of them maybe Izzy takes the crown
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I will get there folks the truth will out
Any additional comments?
I have only one complaint about Tricia Ashley and that is she does not produce enough books fast enough. More please

a good listen
on first listen I wasn't as sold on this audio book as I thought I would be but I revisited it a couple of months later and found I got into it much more once I was better acquainted with Trisha Ashley's writing style. it's a little up and down in places but still another classic. well read and I wish Trisha Ashley had written more books about the village of Half Hidden as it sounds like an amazing place. If you read The House of hopes and dreams after this one you'll find it follows on nicely
