A heart-warming page-turner set on the Irish coast, where secrets hide, romance is waiting and there is every chance to make a new beginning…

Jasmine Delon feels completely lost: having just broken up with the man she thought was the love of her life, all she knows is that she can’t face living alone in her empty apartment in Paris.

When she turns up at her mother’s curiosity shop, nestled in Sandy Cove in Ireland, she hopes time with Sally will help heal her broken heart. Walks along the rugged coastline and nights under endless stars immediately make her feel at peace, and then she meets Aiden, a handsome chef in town, and sparks fly between them.

But a lot has changed since Jasmine last saw her mother. Sally is happier than ever with a charming new man in her life and Jasmine’s not sure where she fits in. Then she’s told about the ruins of an old village in a place nearby called Wild Rose Bay. The locals say it holds secrets about her mother’s side of the family…

Is delving into their history the thing that can bring Jasmine and Sally back together or will it drive them further apart? And is Jasmine brave enough to give in to the call of the Irish sea for another chance at love?

Daughters of Wild Rose Bay is a warm, feel-good novel set on Ireland’s gorgeous Atlantic coast. For fans of Sheila O’Flanagan, Debbie Macomber, Mary Alice Monroe and anyone who loves a story about second chances.

This is Susanne O'Leary back to her best with this latest instalment in the Sandy Cove series. 

It can easily be read as a standalone, as this is a whole new main character, although the previous mains, plus others in the village are all present again. 

I loved Jasmine's story, the way she reconnects with her mum, and makes new friends in Sandy Cove. 

I could understand why she had run from Paris. and her ex sounds like a nightmare. 

I found I was caught up in the story really quickly and that the pages just seemed to turn so quickly.  I read this in two sittings in a few short hours, and really enjoyed every moment of it. 

Thank you to Bookouture and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
