My favourite book in the series so far, for so many different reasons – and very highly recommended. This time the focus is on Ella and Dan who have a wedding all booked but when Ella suddenly collapses everything gets turned upside down.

In fact reading one of Jo’s books feels more like a chat between friends rather than reading a book. Although I can't say much more, this is not a sob story, but an inspiring, delightful, and beautiful HEA story, so go grab it. The whole story makes you question how you would react in a similar situation, emphasises the importance of always living your best life whatever the barriers in the way – and, within a story that entirely engaged me from beginning to end, filled with love, provided real insights into the important area of disability awareness, with its messages quite perfectly handled.

I read and loved the first six books in the series and so when I heard that Jo was due to release another book in the series, I knew that I had to grab a copy at the earliest opportunity and hibernate until I had read the very last word on the very last page.

Despite being fiction, these books never fail to motivate me to carry on studying when things get tough and really become The Cornish Midwife myself. All too quickly I reached the end of ‘A Change Of Heart’ and I had to say goodbye to Ella and the rest of the characters. A Change of Heart for the Cornish Midwife is the seventh book in The Cornish Midwife series, and it can be read as a stand-alone. The Cornish midwife series is a gently written, well-loved series for those looking to binge read women’s fiction with realistic characters. The Setting: I’ve always had a soft spot for stories set in Devon and Cornwall and look forward to such novels, especially if the author takes the opportunity to immerse readers in the setting.I found this whole book extremely moving and engaging – despite the heartbreak, the whole story proves to be tremendously uplifting and hopeful, and particularly real at an emotional level.

I felt so bad for Dan on so many occasions because Ella left him with no one to talk about his own fears with and she refused to talk about the diagnosis at all. This book can be read as a stand alone but I highly recommend reading this wonderful series and getting to know all the midwives.

Ella and Dan’s path to marriage certainly isn’t a smooth one – with work on their new home progressing apace and the wedding date drawing nearer, they need to postpone it again when an important member of the family (for very good reasons) isn’t able to be there. The story centres on their emotional response to the situation, and how they deal with it – Ella in denial, continuing to train for a fund-raising marathon, concerned about her ability to continue doing the work she loves, Dan being as practical as he can be in preparing for the future. Their issues only bring home the stark realities of Dan and Ella’s future – they’d planned to start a family too, and their friends’ situation gives them much food for thought about the practicalities. It is incredibly eye opening, and I have to say if I was Ella, I'd probably be reacting in the same way. A Change of Heart for the Cornish Midwife is going to tug at those heartstrings and have you feeling those big feelings.

This one was one that hit close to home as I lived the trauma of a life changing diagnosis twice in the last years and I know the rollercoaster of emotions.

A Change Of Heart For The Cornish Midwife’ is superbly written but then I have come to expect nothing less from Jo Bartlett. The remaining conflict relates to her father's poor, real estate investment, and hatred of "ant", or interloper, Dan.
