"Beneath the summer sunshine in Heritage Cove, the sea sparkles, the heat rises and new love, reconciliations and the answers to an old love story could bring changes for everyone. "

Synopsis

Welcome to Heritage Cove, the little village by the sea brimming with character, community and friendship, and the perfect place to fall in love this summer… Melissa rushes back to Heritage Cove when Barney, the man who’s been like a father figure to her since she was a little girl, ends up in hospital. After an absence of five years, her return isn’t going to be easy, especially when she bumps into Harvey, the love of her life and the man she’s never been able to forget. For reasons he couldn't explain at the time, Harvey changed his mind about going with Melissa to start afresh as they'd planned, and life moved on for the both of them. But with Melissa back in the village and determined to stick around to help Barney, they can't avoid each other forever. Melissa knows she let so many people down by staying away for so long, but she and Harvey blame each other for what happened and neither of them is willing to admit to being in the wrong. When Barney insists on cancelling the Wedding Dress Ball, the charity fundraiser he holds every year in the stunning barn on his property, Melissa and Harvey realise they’re going to have to pull together. Otherwise the man they once knew might be gone forever. And when they unearth a secret Barney has never shared with anyone, they go in search of answers to not only ensure the ball runs this summer, but to bring back the Barney they know and love. Back in the cove after all this time, Melissa gets to see the life she left behind and it’s time to deal with what it was that drove her away in the first place. Beneath the summer sunshine in Heritage Cove, the sea sparkles, the heat rises and new love, reconciliations and the answers to an old love story could bring changes for everyone.

My Review

This is my first read by this author and I know that this is the begining of a series and i cannot wait for more!

stepping out of my usual genre and in to some relaxing and charming romance filled reading was just what my lockdown brain needed!

Five years ago Melissa and her boyfriend Harvey planned to leave Heritage Cove together, but he didn't go with her in the end or even explain why he would not, heartbroken Melissa left alone and has been away a long 5 years

Then one day Harvey emails out of the blue to tell her that Barney the man who had been like a surrogate father to them both was in hospital after a bad fall. Dropping everything Melissa returns, Its akward and difficult to be around Harvey but they both want the best for Barney.

But when he wants to cancel the annual Wedding Dress Ball Melissa and Harvey know they have to work together to get the old Barney back! but what is he hiding?

As the pair delve deeper in to his life they get on better and better with each other and with Harvey back on the scene could this be a second chance? but what about her current boyfriend?

This is a charming read all about second chances, I loved the relaxed feel of the story with a hint of mystery around Barney and his life who was my stand out favourite character but in truth i feel in love with them all and in love with Heritage Cove itself just this perfect place i felt really connected too.

A really fun and engaging read perfec for those looking for a light romatic read with a little flare and in a setting I cannot wait to revist.
