Phillipa Ashley has done it again! The third instalment of her Porthmellow series did not disappoint, it was lovely to return to Porthmellow, meet some new characters and catch up with familiar ones. Ashley’s books are like a hug, it made me want to be in Cornwall, next to the sea eating an ice cream. I can’t wait for the next one!

It's quite a while since I read any of Philippa's books set in Portmellow but I remembered the characters and it was like revisiting old friends. Loved the new characters too, likeable, believable. I wasnt expecting the twist about Nate being alive still. The description of the little cornish seaside village makes me look forward even more to our holiday in cornwall this summer. Highly recommend this wonderful book.

Another brilliant book from Phillipa Ashley set in Porthmellow, Cornwall. Marina was born in the town, her husband vanished when out on a fishing trip seven years ago and she started the lookout point in his memory. He left behind a lot of debt and problems that Marina had to sort out. Her cousin Tiff arrives to stay with her whenr she has to leave her job as a journalist in London after being set up by her boyfriend.

Dirk, who works on the lifeboat, came back to Porthmellow after his marriage broke down. Lachlan has moved into the town after an accident and is keen not to mingle with people.. Four main characters, all with a past whose stories makeup a brilliant tale of courage, forgiveness and love.

This is a must read book for anyone who likes a book they can lose themselves in
