I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide me review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.

Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.

However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. I was able to find the audio version through my local library. The story is very sweet and low key. If you like slow paced romance stories you will like this one.

To be honest, I believe this could have been better. I just felt like the writing wasn't giving me what I expected from a romance story. I couldn't connect at all, and the experience was rather forgettable.

Cute summertime read. I read on the beach and it was perfect. Nothing too heavy, but lots of fun. Loved the setting so much!

Lovely feel good book to read. It was a joy to read. Lovely characters. Great plot. Beautiful location. The book was charming. Very well written. I’d definitely recommend this book

This was my first book by Georgina Troy and it certainly wont be my last by her. I loved it. It brought back great memories of a holiday in Jersey as a kid and has made me want to go back as an adult.

What a lovely read! I call this kind of read "cosy reads" because it's all so cosy! I loved everything about this book, the settings on the island of Jersey' (first time I read a book that is taking place on Jersey and I loved it! Now I want to go there on vacation!), the main characters who are very loveable, the storyline and the writing style! This book is really charming and if you want to a nice beach read this will be a perfect one for you!!!! 4 stars out of 5

On this enchanting Jersey island, everybody knows everybody else, so the arrival of a handsome new guest certainly gets people talking!

The story or Piper and Alex. They meet when he visits Jersey, where she lives and works. Can he be more than a holiday fling?
A fun read.

This story is set on the island of Jersey (sunshine Island). The main characters are thee single women - a grandma (Margery) , a mum (Helen) and the main character Piper (the daughter). Piper returned from university with her fiancé and had dreams to travel and live a little before she settled down. However, her fiancé had a different plan! Left alone she works two jobs - one helping her mum to run a B & B and one creating beautiful treasures using sea glass and unloved items. She is content and although sometimes a little lonely has made the decision not to have a man in her life. There has been no spark with anyone since her fiancé until one day a guest turns up intending to surprise his grandad and she Piper is the one surprised at the connection she feels towards him. However, Alex has secrets and so does his grandad! Can Piper learn to trust again will she find love on sunshine Island? A nice holiday read.

This is the first in a promising series which is set in Jersey and you get a real feel for the holiday island with the coast and surrounding countryside. Piper has, it seems, been burying herself in her life at her mother's Bed and Breakfast and at the same time, building up her own creative business in a local craft centre. You sense from the start that she may be ready to move on from her broken relationship but you can also see her kind nature and fondness for her family.

When Piper meets Alex, there is a certain spark but you also sense that he has a history which is holding him back. Family is an important part of the story and her friendship with Jax is a part of her life which keeps her centred. This is an entertaining read, just right for a summer holiday, with some likeable characters and a beautiful setting.

In short: holiday romance or happy ever after?
Thanks to the publisher for a copy of the book

The Blurb :
Piper Le Brocq is happily single after the disastrous ending of her engagement eighteen months before. The only man in her life is Jax, her best friend and cousin, who spends his life teaching locals how to forage and taking tourists on boat trips around the island. Her days are filled with helping out at her mother's guest house and selling her glass mosaics at The Cabbage Patch emporium in Trinity.
Piper loves living on the Sunshine Island, where the neighbours look out for each other and visitors are welcome. So, when handsome guest Alex Cooper arrives at the guest house to check up on his grandfather, she welcomes him to the sunny island. And when he needs help after his grandfather is injured, she's quick to get involved.
Yet, the more she gets to know Alex the more mysterious he seems, and Alex isn't the only one keeping secrets from her.

My Thoughts :
We meet Piper Le Brocq, Piper is currently single after ending her engagement months before.
She enjoys working at the family b&b along side her mum Helen. Also she runs a stall at the local market called The Cabbage Patch Emporium, selling her glass mosaics.
When a new guest Alex Cooper arrives to visit his Grandfather, there seems to be an instant attraction between the pair and soon the pair become close when Piper helps out Alex’s Grandfather after an injury.
I really enjoyed getting to know Piper and her family. With such a beatutiful setting in Jersey, you can just feel that you are there in amongst the storyline. Georgina Troy gave us some lovely descriptions of the surroundings and the area Piper and her family live in.
A feel good read about family, love and new begginings.
Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Finding Love on Sunshine Island is a cozy heartfelt escape read that you won’t be able to put down.

I really, really adored this book. It had me constantly letting out those happy sighs and wishing I could just step into this book and spend time with Piper and her family on Jersey Island. I am ashamed to admit I might have spent my entire Saturday reading this book. It was just one of those books that you cannot put down. The story has that nice easy-breezy flow with just enough twists and drama to keep me entertained.

Georgina did a fantastic job transporting her readers to the stunning shores of Jersey Island. I really couldn’t get enough of her descriptions of the island. They were just so lush and vivid and had me Googling to see if this island actually exists (it does!). This book has that perfect idyllic setting that I love in my romance books. It also has a charming and quirky community of people living there. There was just such a wonderful mix of people living on the island, and there was this sense of community and willingness to help others that always makes my heart so happy.

Piper is such a fun and endearing character. I loved her relationship with her mom and gran. Piper’s gran and her cousin Jax were probably my favourite characters in this book (besides Piper and Alex, of course). These two have those personalities that you just can’t but be drawn to. Piper’s gran has lived such an interesting life and can be a firecracker at times. I would love to read a book about her coming to the island and making a home for her and her daughter. Jax is a real charmer and has that laid-back, fun personality that always charms my socks off. I am really hoping Georgina decides to write a book about him next.

The romance between Piper and Alex has this sweet slow-burn feel to it. There are so many cute/swoony moments between these two, and the fact that they happened on this gorgeous island had my heart-pitter-pattering even more. There are plenty of will they or won’t they moments, and even though I knew they would get together in the end, I was curious how Georgina would sort out the long-distance factor. The relationship between these two was just so charming and real.

Finding Love on Sunshine Island is a sweet romance set in an enchanting location.

Thank you, Boldwood Books, for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I found this to be a very sweet and easy to read book and having three generations of strong woman at its core was what I enjoyed the most.
We follow Piper in this first book of a new series who helps her Mother run a Bed and Breakfast on Sunshine Island as well as having her own business selling her art work. All is well until a potential new love interest arrives.
This was quick to read and although I enjoyed it overall I did get a little bored half way through and a couple of the characters annoyed me a little too much, having said that, I did fall for Pipers cousin Jax!
I won’t continue with this series but I believe that may be because my reading tastes have changed quite a lot. If there is to be a book about Jax I may be persuaded!

f you enjoy reads with a lovely community,
Sun, sea and family drama and a little mystery,
This heartwarming read could prove to be
Just what you need, as I hope you'll see!

I really enjoyed visiting Jersey once more,
This Channel Island is a place I've visited before
This story brings the places and community to life
Sharing their joys, secrets, romance and strife.

This is the first in a new series I am pleased to discover
I'm now looking forward to reading any others
A story where romance is starting to bloom
After a dodgy start with family dramas and doom.

What a great start to a series that's new
I highly recommend this first book now to you.
I really enjoyed reading it and say thank you
For my copy, this is my honest review.

A Sweet story that I pretty much read in one setting. I look forward more books by this author. Cause sometimes all you need is a sweet story to read.

Finding Love on Sunshine Island was a little burst of sunshine, a romance set in Jersey with beautiful picturesque depictions of the island. This book makes for enjoyable summer reading or a good holiday read. The romance between Piper and Alex was a slow burner with plenty of misunderstandings to hold my interest. The secrets between the older generation had an intriguing premise and I enjoyed learning about Piper’s wider family and daily life. Overall, a quick summer read which provides light escapism.
I received a free copy of this book with no obligation to review.

I was drawn into this book straight away. Firstly, the setting felt sort of nostalgic in a strange way as although I’ve never been to New Jersey myself, it felt familiar from all the stories my mum and grandparents have told me about their visits when my mum was young. Also, the wonderful descriptions make it easy to picture and have definitely sold it to me as a unique yet local holiday destination.

I loved the characters. Piper is hard-working, focused, likeable and helpful, but it’s clear there is something in her past she is working hard to forget, or move away from. Alex is enigmatic yet friendly, warm and loyal yet keeping an obvious distance, and this provides the reader with a curiosity that will keep them hooked.

This is a generally light and fun read, though there are some unexpected twists and an overarching feeling of secrecy and keeping things back which helps to add to the excitement and keeps the reader intrigued.

Overall, a light-hearted and engaging read with likeable characters, and a promising start to the new series by Georgina Troy.

I would recommend her books to fans of Holly Martin, Heidi Swain and Jaimie Admans. I look forward to the next installment!

4☆ A Heart-warming Romance

Finding Love on Sunshine Island is a Heart-warming Story of Second Chances, Friendships, Family bonds, Secrets and potential Romances.

I loved the strong bonds between Piper, her Mum and Grandma. It was so lovely to see them all coming together to support each other when secrets are divulged and blasts from the pasts are revealed.
I especially adored the quaint guesthouse, Piper's Mum run with some help from Piper, and the description of the idyllic views, I would love to stay there!

Oh and not forgetting the charmingly handsome Alex and his loveable Grandpa. Who may or may not be hiding secrets too!

But one thing that wasn't a secret was the slow burning chemistry that Alex and Piper was developing throughout the story. If only Piper could let her guard down and learn to open up and trust....or is she right to be cautious of the Mysterious Alex! I'll let you decide for yourself!

I really enjoyed reading Finding Love on Sunshine Island, it was a nice easy, Feel-good read, with strong loveable characters, a gorgeous setting and a great start to a new series.
Oh and the cover is simply superb!
