The Castle in the Bay by Margaret Amatt #Review #BarraSeriesBook1

  We are travelling to the beautiful island of Barra for Margaret Amatt's new Barra Series, The Castle in the Bay. The first in this new series was published on 12th April by Leannan Press .   What if the castle has the key to mend their broken hearts? After a miserable few years, fun-loving Iona McKenzie tossed her corporate job to the wind, swore off long-term relationships, and escaped to the Hebridean island of Barra to teach water sports. Recently dumped by an ex who labelled him 'boring', Monty MacNeil is having a tough time. When he's tasked with carrying out his late father’s last request to scatter his ashes at Kisimul Castle – the famous castle in the bay – he doesn't expect his trip to Barra to begin by running smack bang into a feisty and gorgeous woman, knocking her off her bike, and almost dropping his father’s urn into the sea. Iona turns out to be the person he needs to take him over to the castle, but Monty soon sees another way she ca...

Lemon Drop Cottage by K T Dady #Review #{e[[erBaySeriesBook4

 


Lemon Drop Farm is the latest in the Pepper Bay series by K T Dady. I am delighted to be on the tour to celebrate its publication, today.  You can read my reviews of others in the series here,  Starlight Cottage |   Honeybee CottagePepper Pot Farm.

 
Welcome to Pepper Bay. A small close-knit community where you’ll find chocolate box cottages, quaint shops, love, drama, and a happily ever after.

Snuggle down with this cosy, feel-good, comfort read that whisks you away to a beautiful bay on the Isle of Wight – Perfect for fans of Christie Barlow, Phillipa Ashley, and Holly Martin.

The Pepper Bay books are standalone stories that intertwine with recurring characters. Best read in order for maximum enjoyment.

Lemon Drop Cottage: At first glance, Scott Harper is a shy artist who keeps himself to himself, but he isn’t the man everyone thinks he is. Scott has a secret. One that has kept him firmly away from any chance of having an intimate relationship. The only woman in his life is the one he talks to online but has never met. It’s easier that way, for them both.

Dolly Lynch has just taken over her aunt’s shop in Pepper Bay. Between looking after her teenage son, running around for her old aunt, moving home, and opening a new shop, she barely has time to herself, so she really appreciates the moments she spends talking online with a man she’s never met. Little does she know he’s the same man who lives just up the road in the cutest cottage she has ever seen.


 My Thoughts

The community in Pepper Pot Bay continues to grow apace and I loved the latest in this series which revolved around Scott and Dolly. They definitely weren't run of the mill characters and I was most attracted by the great sense of humour which I felt ran throughout the story. Both Scott and Dolly have a past. Dolly is trying to build a new life for herself and her son as a single parent. Scott's past is more surprising and can't be divulged! Pepper Pot Bay offers a refuge and a healing community, full of friendship and families.

    Dolly's son, Dexter, is sure to make you laugh. He is a reflection of how she has brought him off and a kind and caring boy. Being kind and generous towards others runs through the story and there is a definite respect between the generations as the retirement home comes under threat. Although you can read this as a standalone, don't miss out on the three previous books. They will fill in all sorts of gaps about the characters you meet and add to your enjoyment of a lovely series.

 

In short: Secret identities and new starts
