I am delighted to be on the opening day of the celebrations for Part Two in Emily Harvale's latest serial, Coming Home to Merriment Bay- Sparks Fly. You can read my review of Part One: The Reunion here.
Part Two of this heartwarming four-part serial about finding
the strength to put the past behind you and to reach out for a future filled
with happiness and love.
Cat Devon knew she couldn’t avoid Amias Wells for long. She
also knew sparks would fly the moment they came face to face. They never did
get on and nothing has changed in eighteen years – except that Amias is even
more annoying. So why does Cat still catch her breath whenever he looks her
way?
The fact he flies a vintage Spitfire for the Merriment Bay
WWII Museum doesn’t interest Cat, but his knowledge of the former RAF pilots
stationed there certainly does. She wants to find out all she can about the man
in the photo in Viola’s trunk. And what with hospital visits, dealing with her
mum, and sorting out problems with Viola’s house, Cat could use more than just
Kyra’s help.
But Kyra makes it clear she thinks Cat and Amias should
spend more time together. Which is ridiculous. Apart from the fact they don’t
get on, Amias wasn’t interested in Cat before the accident that left the ugly
scars on her face and body, so he definitely won’t be attracted to her now.
Besides, Cat’s not looking for romance. She’s happy with her life just the way
it is.
This is Part Two of a new, four-part serial. The other three
parts are:
Coming Home to Merriment Bay - Part One:The Reunion
Coming Home to Merriment Bay - Part Three: Christmas
Coming Home to Merriment Bay - Part Four: Starry Skies
The Merriment Bay series is interconnected to Emily's Wyntersleap series. Each series can be read
alone, but several characters appear in both series.
My Thoughts
As soon as I finished Part One in the Merriment Bay Series, I had to read on and put Part Two straight to the top of my 'To Be Read' list. I wasn't disappointed. The story carried on seamlessly and you get to find out more about the characters and their hopes for the future. There are some teasing cliffhangers written into this instalment and although I have my theories, my lips are sealed!
This is such an enjoyable read which hooks you in and keeps you engaged. The author has plenty to say about family and friends, with secrets from the past which must surely to come to light. I am looking forward to Part Three and seeing where the story takes us. In particular, I am hoping that we get to find out more about Cat's grandmother's past and finding out how it might affect the present.
In short: a story with a great heart.
