Sunrise Over Sapphire Bay – by Holly Martin


The blurb: 


Fall in love with the beautiful Jewel Island this summer, where the sapphire sea sparkles, the golden sun warms your skin and the islanders melt your heart. From the bestselling author of The Little Village of Happiness comes Holly Martin’s most romantic novel yet.

Aria Philips has lived on Jewel Island all of her life. Even when her sisters Clover and Skye left its stunning shores for bigger and better things, Aria stayed to help her father run their family hotel.

A year after her father’s death Aria’s done everything she can to keep things afloat but the hotel has long been struggling to make a profit. With so few guests Aria risks losing the only home she’s ever had.

Noah Campbell earned his fortune from making hotels a success, and he also just happens to be staying on Jewel Island this summer. Could he be the answer to Aria’s problems? If only he hadn’t kissed her under the willow tree the year before and never called her again. It had been the most incredible kiss of her life, but clearly business and pleasure should never be mixed.

As gorgeous and charming as Noah may be, Aria vows to keep things professional while she seeks his help. But for the past year Noah has been keeping a secret and his return to Jewel Island is about to change Aria’s life forever…

WOW!!!

Where to start

Lets start with the wonderful main characters. Airs has lived on Jewel Island her whole live. She started working at the family hotel, helped her father run it and now after his death she is the manager. The hotel is struggling now and she doesnt know what to do now. 

Noah Campbell has been a guest to the hotel several times. He makes hotels successful and travels a lot. 

Aria and Noah had instant chemistry, but nothing really happened between them, until he kissed her under the willow tree. After that he left and it broke her heart. 
Now he is back and he is there to help make the hotel a success again and the truth about everything comes out. What does that mean for their feelings for each other though?! Can they be in a relationship I this situation?!

Their connection and chemistry is there again immediately and I love how Holly Martin captured it. I just wanted them to get together, the story I s very gripping and just beautiful. Their scenes and moments were adorable. Their relationship is full of ups and downs, which made the storyline very exciting. 

Aria’s sisters come back to the island as well, as well as some other characters, who play an important role. I loved reading about all of them. Together with the guests ands the villagers they made a fab group of people with lots of stories to tell. We also got to read about characters from Holly Martin’s previous books as well, which was great. 

The setting of this story is amazing and I loved how detailed the authors style is. The book is full of love, passion, family, heart, friendship, live lessons and much more. There very also some funny moments in this story, which I really liked. 

We also get to learn lot about the characters’ pasts and I really loved that. It made me understand them more and gave us a good background on their lives. I felt like their emotions and feelings were captured really beautifully. 

I can’t wait for more to come in this series!! I’m definitely hooked!

WOW!!!!!!
