I am pleased to be able to introduce the second in Emily Harvale's Wyntersleap series: New Beginnings at Wynter House. You can read my review of the first in the series here: Christmas at Wynter House
The New Year brings unexpected revelations at Wynter House.
Neva Grey’s Christmas brought several surprises. Now a
shocking secret has life-changing consequences for the Wynters, as the New Year
brings revelations ... and relatives to Wynter House.
It also brings Hazel Smart and Amelia Goodbody. And it’s not
just Adam and Rafe Wynter who are pleased Hazel and Amelia have come to stay.
Olivia Wynter will enjoy bossing nurse Hazel around and she also makes it clear
Amelia – who is handling the marketing for Rafe’s new business venture – is far
more suited to be her grandson’s girlfriend than Neva will ever be.
Whilst Amelia is ensconced at Wynter House, Neva is busy
with her new hair and beauty salon in Merriment Bay. Perhaps she should enlist
her niece, Sasha’s help because just when she thought she had found the love of
her life, old secrets, ghosts from the past, and new arrivals might shatter all
her dreams.
At least she has her best friend, Jo Duncan to lean on. But
newly single, Jo is determined to have some fun, both at Wynter House and in
Merriment Bay. And so is Adam Wynter.
This is book two in the Wyntersleap series but it can be
read as a standalone. The Wyntersleap series is interlinked with the Merriment
Bay series and several characters appear in both series.
My Thoughts
The second in the series does not disappoint and seems to carry on seamlessly from Christmas at Wynter House. You are reacquainted with the central characters pretty quickly and the newcomers are swiftly introduced. I did miss Olivia who does not directly appear very much, although her presence is always felt but I am keeping my fingers crossed that she will feature more in the next instalment.
You also get to meet characters from the Merriment Bay series as the two series are interlinked but it never feels forced, rather the storylines in both are moved on. There is such a lot of potential for many more books. There are some interesting character developments, particularly with Adam and you learn more about him. What he shows to the outside world is not necessarily the whole story as far as he is concerned. Similarly, with Rafe, first impressions can be misleading.
With humorous touches and some vividly drawn characters, this is a series to enjoy.
In short: Life moves on at Wynter House.
