Moonlight over Muddleford Cove by Kim Nash #Review

 

You'll love Kim Nash's latest romcom, Moonlight over Muddleford Cove. It is a delightful, warm read.


When thirty-four-year-old Nellie Wagstaff loses her job and discovers her fiancé is a cheating scumbag in a single day, she feels like the world has come crashing down. And that’s before the solicitor’s letter, along with a request to visit a place she hasn’t thought about for a very long time.

 

Heartbroken, Nellie escapes to the beautiful seaside town of Muddleford in Dorset, where she discovers she’s inherited more than she ever bargained for. Nellie never knew why her mother stopped talking to her sister, but now childhood memories of Muddleford come flooding back: long hot summers, the sea glistening beyond the sandy cove... and a stolen kiss with a boy called Jack.

Jack, now a devilishly handsome vet, has the local pet owners swooning over him, and as Nellie and he become close once more, and she gets used to gossiping with the locals and sipping wine at her beach hut with sand between her toes, she’s sure she can feel sparks flying once more. But just as she thinks she might be able to open her heart again, her newest frenemy, the glamourous Natalia, tells her a secret about Jack that changes everything.

Nellie will never know why her mother and aunt parted ways. She’ll sell the house, forget about Jack, and get back to real life. Because there’s nothing for her in Muddleford... is there?

An utterly uplifting and completely hilarious summer read about learning to trust yourself and of finding love and friendship in the least expected places for fans of Jessica Redland, Heidi Swain and Holly Martin.

My Thoughts

I sped through this book and absolutely loved the story. I am so ready to be transported to a beautiful Dorset beach and the whole setting was made so appealing that I had serious envy over Nellie's cottage and glorious beach hut. Nellie is delivered life changing news at the beginning of the story, not once but twice and has some serious decisions to make. I know what I was willing her to decide!

    The community in Muddleford Cove are so welcoming which adds to the uplifting, warm feel that the book conjures up. There are some lovely characters (and one who is an acquired taste!) but the star of the show has to be Norman. Although there are some funny episodes, there are also some touching moments as Nellie remembers her Aunt Lil and longs for the warmth of a family. She has to find where she belongs and truly feels at home - and with who with. 

In short: Gorgeous setting full of friends and family
