So many exceptional and incredible books this months,
here are my three winners:
Summer by the Sea – Jenny Hale
The
bit on the back:
They say there’s always one summer
that changes you.
For Faith the one summer she can’t
forget is when she fell in love as a teenager – only for her sister, Casey, to
steal her man. Now, at the request of her beloved ninety-year-old Grandmother,
Faith has agreed to a family holiday – at their childhood beach house, where it
all began.
Faith hasn’t seen her sister in
years but is finally ready to forgive and forget, enjoy the sunshine and relive
happy memories. What she’s not ready for is meeting Jake Buchanan – the owner
of the beach house – or the long-forgotten feelings he ignites in her.
Can Faith overcome the hurt of the
past, rekindle the close bond she had with Casey and make this summer THE ONE
to remember?
My opinion:
This amazing and beautiful story is
full of surprises! This story has it all – a great location, wonderful
characters, a strong family bond, cute, romantic and memorable moments, love
and magic. I had a huge book hangover after this beauty!!!

Return to Bluebell Hill – Rebecca Pugh
The
bit on the back:
As sweet and satisfying as
strawberries and cream! This British summertime, get out in the garden with
Rebecca Pugh’s sparkling debut novel.
Home is where the heart is…
Jessica McAdams has never belonged
anywhere; never truly felt at home. Of course, what did she expect from parents
who never made her feel welcome in her own house? Leaving her life in London to
return home to the charming country village of Bluebell Hill is harder than she
thought. Especially as she never considered she’d be returning under such heart
wrenching circumstances…
Clearing out the stunning and
imposing Bluebell House after her parents’ death is difficult for Jessica—they
never had the best relationship and now it’s too late. Yet spending time in the
house that was never a home, having afternoon tea with dear old friend Esme—and
sharing hot, sizzling kisses with delectable gardener Rueben!—opens Jessica’s
eyes to the potential of Bluebell House… Could this big old, beautiful manor
really be her forever home? Is Bluebell Hill where her heart is, has always
been?
Jessica soon dares to dream of her
very own home with delicious Rueben by her side. But when a deep, dark secret
of Bluebell House is unearthed, Jessica’s world is turned upside down…
Will Jessica ever find where her
heart truly lies?
An emotional tale of
self-discovery, taking chances and romance! Rebecca’s unique British voice
feels like coming home again and again.
My opinion:
Becca’s writing is wonderful, full
of beautiful details, charm and spark and it makes this story emotional, moving,
touching and just amazing. The storyline has a great flow and the characters
are so adorable.

The Secret Daughter – Kelly Rimmer
The
bit on the back:
As I saw my new-born baby’s face
for the first time I tried desperately to capture her face in my mind—to stamp
it onto my eyelids. As she was taken from me I knew I might never see my
daughter again.
38 years later…
‘You were adopted’. Three short words and Sabina’s life fractures. There
would forever be a Before those words, and an After.
Pregnant with her own child, Sabina
can’t understand how a mother could abandon her daughter, or why her parents
have kept the past a secret.
Determined to find the woman who
gave her away, what she discovers will change everything, not just for Sabina,
but for the women who have loved her all these years.
From the bestselling author of Me
Without You comes another touching, beautifully told story about the pain
of separation and the enduring strength of love.
My opinion:
This is definitely one of the most
EMOTIONAL books I’ve ever read! I’d advise having some tissues close and maybe
even some chocolate. The writing is more than beautiful and the storyline has
so much flow and spark.
A MOVING AND EXCEPTIONALLY FABULOUS!!!
