Title: A Found Family at the Cornish country HospitalAuthor: Jo BartlettFormat reviewed: EbookSource: NetgalleyPublisher: Boldwood BooksPublication Date: 22nd July 2024Rating: 5 Stars
A tragic loss…
Since the death of her beloved father, Isla Marlowe has felt the need to do something to honour his memory; something meaningful that will bring joy to others and repay the kindness of a stranger who changed their lives. She’s got the perfect solution, but she’s worried not everyone will understand.
A precious gift…
Aidan Kennedy and his husband, Jase, are desperate to start a family of their own, but finding the right woman to help them is difficult and some people don’t think they should even try. So when Isla offers them the chance to fulfil their dream, they can’t believe their wish is about to come true.
A family made of friends?
But when Isla is forced to face her greatest fear, Aidan and Jase’s dream has to be put on hold. Broken-hearted and questioning everything she once believed, Isla desperately needs someone to share her problems with but has no idea where to turn.
But then, in her darkest hour she discovers that friends can be the family you choose for yourself.
A wonderful new series from Jo Bartlett, about strong friendship, selfless dedication and being brave in love. Perfect for fans of Jessica Redland, Holly Martin and Tilly Tennant.
Jo Bartlett - you can't do that to a reader! To say this this has been an emotional roller coaster would be an understatement.
I was totally and utterly invested in Isla, Aidan and Jase's stories, and was on the verge of tears multiple times during he story.
I feel like I have totally been through the wringer with this one, but feeling the depth of emotion I feel for these characters is the sign of an excellent author.
The writing in this is top notch, and Gwen is of course on hand to add in some humorous touches and imagery.
I loved meeting Jase's family, Aidan on the other hand has far trickier obstacles to overcome.
And then there is Isla, the star of this book and actually Jo Bartlett... I'm not sure you should be allowed to throw that much stuff at one poor character. Isla is lovely and doesn't deserve the hand, her author has dealt her, even if it does make for a gripping and enticing story.
This is a series that is going from strength to strength and this is another totally fabulous book in it. Bring on the next one.
Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily
