Love comes when you least expect it...

Tressa Buckland likes her quiet life in Port Lowdy, with its cobbled streets and colourful terraced houses overlooking the sea. Her job at the local paper allows her to pursue her art in her free time, with no one but her tabby cat Ginger Pickles to mind her in Mermaid Terrace. But then the owner of the paper is called away on an emergency, and it's up to Tressa to run the paper for six months. Her first task: find a new part-time journalist.

Dan Byrne is the angriest man in Ireland – or so the readers of his very successful column, 'Dan takes on the world', think. But after a story goes south and he loses his job in Dublin, Dan has no choice but to start afresh. When an opportunity comes up in sleepy Cornwall, Dan and his Golden Retriever Ritchie set off for a new adventure.

For Tressa, Dan's arrival to Port Lowdy changes everything. Tressa tries not to look too deeply at her own life, but Dan sees a story to uncover in absolutely everyone – even her. The two of them couldn't be more different... yet, if they can find a way to work together, they may just breathe new life and joy into this sleepy seaside village.

Finding Love at Mermaid Terrace is a heartwarming new village romance about the power of love and kindness, from the bestselling author of Starting Over at Acorn Cottage.

What people are saying about Kate Forster:

Thoroughly enjoyable story, as I have come to expect from Kate Forster. 

I loved my time spent in Port Lowdy, and seeing how Tressa is integral to the community there. 

She is much loved and not aware of her own talents. She has a complicated dynamic with her family which was pleased to see was explored. 

Meanwhile she hires The Angriest Man in Ireland to be a reporter on the local paper, while Caro is being treated in hospital for the Big C. And let's say sparks fly!

Nothing is simple between the pair of them, but I loved getting to know Dan. 

No only Dan but we also get a fair amount of Penny's story and Remi's too, so get a real feel for the characters in this charming Cornish village.

Was a very pleasurable story to read. 

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