Making Memories at the Cornish Cove by Kim Nash #Review

  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. But now she’s found her purpose, and having moved to Driftwood Bay to spend more time with her daughter Meredith, she’s happier than ever. But there’s still life in these old bones yet! With her newfound sense of identity, she’s keen to re-explore the things that made her happy as a younger person. Lydia’s passion was dancing – she used to compete in her younger years, and there’s no place she’s more at home than on the dancefloor. So when widower and antiques restorer Martin tells her about a big dance competition, she’s ready and raring to bring more joy into her life. But while making mem

Rainbows End in Ferry Lane Market by Nicola May #Review #PublicationDay #Giveaway

 

I am delighted to feature, Rainbows End in Ferry Lane Market. Book Three in bestselling sensation Nicola May's gorgeous new series - catch up with Book One, WELCOME TO FERRY LANE MARKET, and Book Two, STARRY SKIES IN FERRY LANE MARKET, now!

39-year-old Glanna Pascoe - also known as 'the Rainbow Painter' - runs the Hartmouth Gallery in Ferry Lane Market in Cornwall. She is just getting her head and broken heart around being single, childless, and sober when Cupid flies in, shooting arrows all over the place.

Meeting the mysterious and fascinating Isaac Benson, famous local artist, and recluse, allows Glanna's disillusioned heart and attitude to soften, and she begins to learn more about herself than she ever thought possible. Confused by her growing feelings for Isaac, Glanna throws herself into organising a life-drawing class at her gallery, using both male and female nudes - and setting local tongues wagging.

A theft from her gallery and the return of ex-love Oliver Trueman cause Glanna to wonder if a pot of gold will be appearing at the end of her rainbow. And will it bring her the happiness, she has sought for so long? 

Praise for the book

'This book will twang your funny bone & your heartstrings' - Milly Johnson

'A fun and flighty read' - Sun

'A funny and fast-paced romp - thoroughly enjoyable!' WOMAN Magazine

 My Thoughts

We are back with the Ferry Lane market characters and very enjoyable it is too. The focus of this third in the series is an art gallery owner, Glanna, who has a complicated past and family dynamic. She has never really come to terms with past relationships and you definitely get the feeling that there is unfinished business with Oliver. As she nears her fortieth birthday, she is reminded of decisions she made in the past concerning motherhood and certainly, her relationship with her parents is complicated to say the least.

    This is a really enjoyable read, full of the sights and sounds of the coastline and the sea is never far away. There are some darker themes lurking below the surface, around addiction and depression, but overall the tone is upbeat and affectionate. Certainly, the reclusive Isaac Benson adds another dimension to the story. The art classes which Glanna organises are a great source of humour and one or two of the characters make you chuckle. This is a delightful series, with I hope, more to come.

In short: Past secrets and new beginnings
