Beatrice found love at Port Willow – now she’s helping others

Since arriving in the Scottish Highlands village of Port Willow six months ago while nursing a broken heart, Beatrice Halliday has turned her life around.

Now she’s running The Princess and the Pea Inn, madly in love with gorgeous boyfriend Atholl Fergusson, and welcoming visitors from around the globe.

Life couldn’t be sweeter – until a surprise discovery threatens to turn her life upside down. Trying to distract herself, eternal romantic Beatrice sets her sights on rekindling the romance between an empty-nester couple holidaying at the Inn, while also trying to bring together city girl Nina, who’s hiding her pain behind a tough exterior, and Atholl’s handsome, easygoing cousin, Mutt.

But as Beatrice is about to learn, sometimes the magic of Port Willow doesn’t work on everyone…

A gorgeously uplifting read all about finding love and friendship, set in the beautiful Scottish countryside – fans of Jenny Colgan and Trisha Ashley will love this heartwarming, totally romantic read.

I was delighted to be back in Port Willow which is one of my favourite settings of Kiley Dunbar's, and to be back amongst familiar characters too. 

This could easily be read as a standalone as enough background is given, plus the other main focal characters are brand new to the series, 

Nina is really hard to get to know initially, you kind of sense her heart is in the right place but that she has forgotten how to be a more regular person since she has been dumped in a really cruel fashion. 

Then there are the couple that are competition winners that aren't quite what Bea and Atholl thought they would be like. 

It's a good thing Bea likes nothing more than "meddling" in others relationships and she is involved in making romance spark all over the place, 

She's also got her own new storyline that had me on edge as I really wasn't quite usre which way it would go, although I'm happy with how it played out. 

And so good to see Atholl and Gene again, the brothers who are continually showing what great men they have turned out to be. 

It was a joy and a pleasure to return to this setting and I really hope this isn't the last we have seen of these characters. 

Thank you to Hera Books for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
