The Boardwalk by the Sea - Autumn Antics by Georgina Troy ** Blog Tour Review**

Today we have the second standalone novel in Georgina Troy's Boardwalk by the Sea Series, Autumn Antics. There is also the chance to enter an International Giveaway to win an Autumn Antics Tote Bag and Locket. Details on how to enter are at the foot of this post.



Being a part-time hand model can be tricky, especially when you have to deal with prima donnas like Megan Knight, a reality star whose meteoric rise has surprised everyone. Bella is happiest running her tiny antique business from the front room of her cottage on the boardwalk. To ensure she has enough income coming in, she also rents out two of her bedrooms and is hiding a secret crush on one of her lodgers. His name is Jack and he also happens to be her best friend Sachaā€™s brother.


If life wasnā€™t complicated enough, her world-travelling mother appears on her doorstep on the same evening that Jackā€™s ex-fiancĆ©e arrives on the boardwalk determined to win him back. Bella has a lot of thinking to do and soon discovers that not all gems sparkle.
 

My Thoughts
There are some great characters in this story and I am sure any one of them could be the subject of a follow up book. You cannot help but like Bella who seems to work so hard and is such a good friend to everyone. The setting on Jersey is glorious and there is such an autumnal feel to the story. This light-hearted read feels just right for those October evenings.

    Friendship plays a large part in the story and it is interesting to see how Megan, the high maintenance reality star, lets her guard down once she is on the island. The driving force beneath the story is the relationship between Bella and Jack- a real will they, won't they situation. I hope that we find out more about Bella's mother in any subsequent books in the series. I am sure that she has several stories still to tell!

In short: romance and friendship in a beautiful island setting.
