It’s not very often that I join in with a cover reveal, but this one was totally irresistible – the second book in Kim Nash’s Sandpiper Shores series, Life Begins at the Cornish Cottage. With publication planned for 31st October by Boldwood Books – as an e-book, in paperback and hardcover, and as an audiobook – it’s now available for pre-order via Amazon in the UK and US. And isn’t the cover just beautiful? As someone who regularly likes to breath the sea air, that’s a beach I’d love to visit… and the dog looks particularly friendly!

The publishers are promising a “heartwarming, uplifting and gorgeously romantic tale of second chances” – and that makes it a book I’m guaranteed to enjoy. And, of course, I’ve loved every book Kim has ever written – Driftwood Bay was somewhere I loved revisiting (if you missed her lovely Cornish Cove series, do take a look at the books), but also thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Jo’s Cornish cottage. In fact, The Cornish Cottage by the Sea was a total delight – engaging, heartwarming, one big cuddle from beginning to end, not without its moments of drama, and with a story that made it a real page turner (you’ll find my review here). And this time it’s Emma’s turn in the spotlight – let’s take a closer look…

When life gives you heartbreak, sometimes it also gives you a second chance… 

 

When Tom Sullivan returns to the quiet village of Sandpiper Shore, Emma can hardly believe her eyes. She hasn’t seen him since they played Romeo and Juliet in their school play – a lifetime ago, before real heartbreak, and long before she ever imagined life as a widow.

 

The last thing she wants is to relive the past, especially with someone who once made her teenage heart flutter. But when Emma agrees to put on a charity pantomime to raise money for the air ambulance service that helped her late husband, she’s thrown firmly back into Tom’s path.

 

As rehearsals begin and the local community rallies around her, Emma finds unexpected joy in bringing people together – and a surprising connection with Tom that feels far too real to ignore. Maybe it’s time for Emma to become the leading lady in her own life, not just for the show, but for herself.

 

Full of warmth, humour and heart, this is a story about letting go and discovering that it’s never too late to take a chance on love.

Sometimes you can just tell, can’t you? Another book I’m going to love – and I’m dying to read it!
