From the first pages of this book I was drawn in, and by the time the action moved to Conwenna Cove, I was hooked.
I loved the descriptions of Conwenna Cove, and more importantly of Mary and Jack. For Eve has retreated to her Aunt Mary's house, after things get on top of her at work. What she wasn't counting on was that Mary now has a tennant, Jack, and that he would be an ex-marine with a soft side to him
He is working in a greyhound rescue centre, and I fell in love with Gabe, and I wasn't the only one. Gabe is a greyhound who needs to learn to trust, a bit like the humans in this story.
This was a great story of learning to love and trust again, to follow your instincts, and of a summer in a Cornish seaside location.
This is easily Darcie Boleyn's best book so far, I can't put my finger on exactly why I loved it so much, but perhaps its because there were things in all the main characters that I could relate to easily. I loved Mary, and even she has a love interest on the horizon, while Jack had many hidden depths, while Eve was coming to terms with many things in her life, once she gets past denial.
I loved seeing how Jack and Eve's story would pan out, whether they would get together or whether Eve would go back to Bristol permanently. There are some funny scenes too including one involving mayonnaise and one where Jack doesn't realise his own strength wile knocking on a door.
I really enjoyed this book, and am already looking forward to reading the Christmas edition of Conwenna Cove!
