Finding Family at Seabreeze Farm by Jo Bartlett #Review

 

I am delighted to be featuring the the latest festive novel Jo Bartlett, Finding Family at Seabreeze Farm  which was published by Boldwood Books on 2nd December. This is the second in her Seabreeze Farm series, set at Kelsea Bay.

Freya Halliwell is looking forward to marrying the man of her dreams and starting their new life together. After the death of both of her parents, Ollie, along with Freya’s aunt, are the only family she has, but all the family she needs.

Until Freya discovers a shocking secret that makes her question everything she thought she knew about her once happy family and especially the man she used to call dad. Devastated and feeling more alone than ever before, Freya needs time and space to come to terms with the news. But until then the wedding is off!

Seabreeze Farm is the perfect place for Freya to recover. But could this beautiful farm perched high on the cliffs, also hold the answer to Freya’s past and reunite her with the family she never even knew she’d been wishing for?

This book was previously published as Finding Dad.

My Thoughts

This is one of those series with a great cast of characters who you take to immediately, even the inquisitive animals who live at the farm! The story centres around Freya, who is due to be married at the farm. Her life becomes incredibly complicated at the beginning with not one but two earth- shattering discoveries. Seabreeze Farm offers something of a refuge when she needs it. She has been attracted to Kelsea Bay because of her memories of being there with her mother. It does seem like a lovely little community and all the seasonal touches make it seem even more appealing.

    The family who owns Seabreeze Farm are all sympathetic characters who take Freya under their wing. They are living through some life changing moments of their own and luckily for them, Freya is on hand to help out when she is needed. With a mystery to uncover as Freya searches for her father, this is a fun read with some romance to help the story along. 

In short: a warm, light read
