Gentle, relaxing reads but not silly and predictable?

[Thoushallnotbreak]

I'll admit that it has been over 7 years since I've had time to read a fiction book.

I'm looking for recommendations for books (preferably a series that I can into) that are gentle and relaxing reads without being chick-lit, silly and predictable stories.

I would love a new book

Santa Montefiore. I always come back to her when I am in a rut. Songs of Love and War is no 1 in a trilogy about Ireland at the turn of the 20th century.
