Sweet, small-town romantic women's fiction you'll adore. A wonderful blend of seaside settings, strong female characters and all the happy-ever-afters. 'If you need a cosy, escapist, small-town romance to whisk you away from the humdrum, you're so in the right place.' Not just a romance book, a Polly Babbington romance book. Nina Lavendar is doing rather well - a certain man and a certain small town have healed her broken heart, and she is feeling all the life feels. She loves the business that has fallen in her lap, her romance is blooming for the whole of Lovely Bay to see, and she’s cleansed herself of a few things that were like a noose around her neck. Things really are turning out to be very good indeed, and when someone proposes something she hadn’t seen coming, it gets even sweeter when she jumps right on in and says yes, yes, yes. Everything is looking on the rosy blush side of romcom perfect… that is, until something comes along and takes the wind right out of our Nina’s sails. Buckle up, this one is a ride and we do like a Polly ride… Clare, Goodreads Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Been a long time since I have sat and read a whole book in a day.'
