To escape a public scandal, a jilted actress journeys to Ferry Lane Market

When soap actor Sabrina Swift loses her way due to a public scandal, she packs up her life, heads to Cornwall and finds herself running a gift shop in the quaint and quirky Ferry Lane Market.

Changing her looks and identity to keep her anonymity, the newcomer starts to make friends and enemies as she walks a frosty path in the established marketplace community.

And as rumours start circling that the outside market is going to be shut down, Sabrina is not only ensconced in an unexpected love triangle but is also faced with a difficult decision that could alter both her life and those of the inhabitants of Hartmouth forever.

Charming characters and a beautifully written setting make for a delightful and uplifting tale that explores themes of self-discovery, belonging and the importance of following your heart.

Utterly hooked from start to finish, this was fabulous. 

What a brilliant new book in the Ferry Lane Market series, which sees all the regular and past main characters return, but they aren't the main focus, so this can easily be read as a standalone. 

I loved every single moment of this book, and Nicola May is an author who can do no wrong in my eyes.  I loved all the various storylines running through this,  and I especially loved hating on some of the really despicable men that Sabrina knows. 

Sabrina is determined not to be recognised, and even uses an alter ego while she is an Cornwall, while she tries to re-assess just what she wants from life. And I loved her decision to set up a Christmas shop in Ferry Lane Market, which really does allow her to live a more normal life for a while.

And there is a slow burn romance on the cards, after some false starts with other potentials, which also intrigued me.   While catching up with Star and Kara especially was great and seeing how they are getting on since we last had a book set here. 

I just thoroughly enjoyed this book, and feel sure it must be another winner for the author.  Full of drama, antics, fun and just an all around great story. 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
