  We are back with the Cornish Cove series with Kim Nash's Making Memories at the Cornish Cove . It was published by Boldwood Books on April 17th. You can read my review of  Hopeful Hearts at the Cornish Cove here and Finding Family at the Cornish Cove   here .    It’s never too late… After five husbands and five broken hearts, Lydia feels like she’s always been chasing something.

Starting Over at Primrose Woods by Jill Steeples #Review

What better than the start of a new series? Jill Steeple's Starting over at Primrose Woods was published by Boldwood Books on February 1st. I am delighted to be part of the celebrations for its launch.


Abbey Carter should be feeling on top of the world.

She has the home of her dreams – a picturesque cottage just walking distance from her beloved Primrose Woods. She has a job she loves, great friends, and most exciting of all – a wedding dress hanging in her wardrobe ready to be worn.  So why does she feel so lonely…

Lizzie Baker loves her job at the Treetops café in Primrose Woods, and she loves being a grandmother even more. If only she could face her fear of flying and see her granddaughter in person rather than on a screen.

Rhianna West is head over heels for her boyfriend Jay. She just wishes he could see her more regularly. His excuses are starting to wear thin, and Rhi’s dreams for the future are beginning to fade.

Can the fun and friendships, the picture-perfect scenery and rolling seasons in Primrose Woods help the women find the happy endings they deserve? After all anything is possible if you dare to dream…

An absolute treat of a book. Let Jill Steeples whisk you away into the beautiful countryside for the perfect feel-good comfort read. Just right for fans of Cathy Bramley, Heidi Swain and Julie Houston.


My Thoughts

What a promising start to a new series! First of all, I loved the setting with all the nature that the Primrose Woods brings to the story.  You absolutely know why Abbey loves it so much. There is a healing quality to the setting and the chance to escape from everyday troubles.You do have an inkling fairly early on how the story will pan out for Abbey but in a way that is much of its appeal.

    There are several characters to follow as well as Abbey. All of them are starting anew in their own ways and looking to the future with optimism. Friendships span the generations. I am sure they will all feature in subsequent stories, especially a certain couple whose story has a long way to go, I suspect.  If you are looking for a heart-warming and escapist read, you will love this one. An added bonus is Lady, Sam's dog who adds some humour and strikes a chord with any dog lovers.  

In short: Family and friends, starting over
