A heartwarming story of friendship, new beginnings, and second chances that will have you reaching for the tissues!

Lucy Brown has spent years hiding from the world, as far away as she could get from her old life – and her ex-husband – back in London. But when she reluctantly agrees to leave her safe haven to attend her old friend Ella’s wedding in Starshine Cove, little does she know what’s in store for her down in Dorset…

When a chance airport encounter with a handsome stranger unexpectedly leads to a deeper connection, Lucy finds her trip becoming much more than just a last-minute holiday. But then her dark past comes knocking, just as she always feared it would. Will the magic of Starshine Cove be enough to heal the hurts that Lucy has carried with her all these years, or has this one-of-a-kind village by the sea finally met its match?

I am loving Starshine Cove so much, it really is a great place to be, and I think I would love to live their myself, if only it wasn't so hard to find, and that it wasn't fictional! 

This time we are introduced to another newcomer to the cover Lucy, who is only there for  Ella's wedding. Well unless the cove's innate charms rub off on her. But what she wasn't expecting was to bump into the man she had been flirting with at the airport, but using a false name! 

Once again the community in Starshine Cove has blown me away, especially how close knit and special everyone seems to be. 

It was great catching up with Ella again, but rest assured this could easily work as a standalone story. 

It's just such an enjoyable story that I had a wonderful time reading. I am already hoping for another book in this series! 

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