Spring at Blueberry Bay – Holly Martin
The
bit on the back:
Welcome to beautiful Hope Island where the sea sparkles, the
daffodils are blooming and a blossoming romance is just around the corner…
Bella has always had a sunny outlook
and caring nature, despite recently falling on hard times. When she finds a
handsome homeless man on her doorstep, her kind heart tells her she must help
him. So, she invites Isaac into
her cottage and into her life in ways she could never have imagined…
But Isaac is not what he seems. He’s keeping a
huge secret from Bella, yet he never expected to fall for this open, generous
and charming woman.
Bella can’t ignore the chemistry between her and
Isaac, but she’s had her trust badly broken in her past. Will she run when she
learns the truth about Isaac, or will he be the one man who can help Bella
believe in love again?
A gorgeously romantic and heartwarming story to completely lose yourself in.
Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Jane Costello and Miranda Dickinson.
My opinion:
Engaging, quirky, heart-warming, funny, wonderful
- this is Holly Martin, a real queen when it comes to writing!!! I was
surprised by certain cetain, which happened in the storyline, but that made it
engaging, gripping and intriguing.

This Love – Dani Atkins
The
bit on the back:
Sophie Winter lives in a
self-imposed cocoon - she's a single, thirty-one year old translator
who works from home in her one bedroom flat. This isn’t really the life she
dreamed of, but then Sophie stopped believing in happy endings a very long time
ago, when she was fifteen years old and tragedy struck her family.
Her grief has left her scared of commitment and completely risk averse, so
she plays it safe and keeps everyone at arm’s length. Sophie understands
she has a problem, but recognising it and knowing how to fix it are two
entirely different things.
One night a serious fire breaks out in the flat below hers. Sophie is trapped
in the burning building until a random passer-by, Ben, luckily happens to
spot and rescue her. Suddenly her cocoon is shattered - what will be the
consequences of this second life-changing event?
My opinion:
This story is a roller-coaster ride of
emotions, feelings play a very important role in this book and Dani Atkins
captured them beautifully.
Dani Atkins created some wonderful characters
here, full of heart and love. They are very well drawn out and seem very
authentic. Def one oft he best books I have read this year!

Meet Me at Beachcomber Bay – Jill Mansell
The
bit on the back:
The romantic, funny and unputdownable new novel from Jill
Mansell, No. 1 bestselling author of THE ONE YOU REALLY WANT, THREE AMAZING
THINGS ABOUT YOU and YOU AND ME, ALWAYS - 'A glorious, heartwarming romantic
read' Woman & Home. Perfect for anyone who loves Jojo Moyes,
Marian Keyes and Katie Fforde.
Clemency isn't looking for love when she meets
Sam, and he doesn't make a brilliant first impression when she sits next to him
on a plane. Yet by the end of the flight a real connection has been made.
Clemency senses this could be something special... until she discovers that Sam
has deliberately thrown her contact details in a bin. Oh well, his loss. (But
also... why???)
So Clemency returns to St Carys in Cornwall and
gets on with her busy life and career alongside best friend, boss and local
heartbreaker Ronan. When Clemency's glamorous stepsister Belle appears, smugger
than ever now she's found the perfect man, Clemency's happy for her, really she
is... until she discovers Belle's perfect man is Sam.
Heart-stopping romantic entanglements, crossed
wires and sisterly dilemmas - all the ingredients for an unputdownable read!
My opinion:
This book is a real diamond! I totally fell in love with
Jill Mansell’s writing. The characters are wonderful in this book, they are
such a great bunch, so different and full of passion. Sam and Clem had an
immediate connection and I just adored their moments and scenes. Jill Mansell’s
writing is on point. It feels like real life, like being there with the
characters as part of the story. The book is full of twists and turns and ups
and downs, that’s what makes a story exciting and you just get hooked
as a reader.
