  West Yorkshire 1900-1918 Today we are going back to the early days of the twentieth century to see how life in Almondbury changes at this critical time.   Trying Times for the Mill Girls by Chrissie Walsh is published  today on December 5th by Boldwood Books .   You can read  my review of Book 1 in the Lockwood Inheritance series, A New Dawn for the Mill Girls   here   In changing times, even the strongest must fight to hold on...

Happy Endings at Mermaid's Point by Sarah Bennett #Review

 

I am delighted to introduce the final book in the Mermaid's Point series by Sarah Bennett. Happy Endings at Mermaids Point was published by Boldwood Books on 3rd October.  

 
Music sensation Aurora Storm finally has her career back on track, but then she’s caught up in a media storm. Desperate to distract from the story, she enlists the one man she trusts to pretend to be her boyfriend.

Meanwhile, in the small seaside village of Mermaids Point, Nick Morgan never expected to see Aurora again. When she calls out of the blue needing his help, he agrees at once. It feels like she’s back in his life for a reason, and he’s determined to make the most of it.

Aurora joins Nick and the rest of his family for their festive celebrations and, as the snow falls, Aurora finds herself caught up in the romance of Christmas. But having tasted worldwide fame, can she ever be content with village life?

Two weeks is all Nick has to prove to Aurora that there’s a happy ending for them both in Mermaids Point.


 My Thoughts

It is bittersweet to read the last in the Mermaid's Point series but it does enable one last time to catch up on the characters we have met and to see what the future might hold for Nick. He has been part of previous novels but in this one, he gets to take centre stage. The close family are very much on hand for him but for quite some time, he has been keeping his feelings on the back burner concerning Aurora Storm. In this story, Aurora has to reassess her future, as well.

    I loved this story. The strength of this series has been the gorgeous setting at Mermaid's Point. It has been a constant thread running through the story and the characters fitted into it perfectly. You can add into the mix all the trimmings of the festive season. There is a huge dollop of romance with a Christmas Eve wedding. Whether everyone gets their happy ending, remains to be seen. With a brisk plot and plenty of warmth and friendship, this is a lovely escapist hug of a story. 

In short: second chance romance and festive warmth
