Meanwhile, Emily Summers approaches a local publisher in hopes of fulfilling her dream of becoming an author. When he turns her down, his dashing competitor promises to consider her novel if she will first write a new Sidmouth guidebook for him. Emily accepts and begins researching with the help of the Duke of Kent's handsome private secretary. But a surprise visitor from her past shows up at Sea View, leaving Emily torn between the desires she used to hold dear and her budding dreams for the future.
Return to the Devonshire coast with the Summers sisters, where loyalties are tested, secrets come to light, and new love emerges.
My thoughts:
I have been eagerly waiting for
this novel, I absolutely loved the first book in the series. I can honestly say, I was not the least bit
disappointed to return to Devonshire Shores.
I knew that Ms. Klassen would continue to please her readers as she takes
us back to catch up with the Summers family.
There is excitement in the
village as the Duke and Duchess of Kent along with their infant daughter arrive
to stay in a neighboring cottage. They have a huge entourage as could be
expected so, some of their staff stay at the seaside resort. There are returning characters from book one in
addition to the delightful ladies in the Summers family.
The vivid descriptions of Seaview,
the meals they served, and the persnickety guest who takes on a role that was unnecessary
were just pure perfection. I loved
watching Emily going out of her comfort zone to achieve her dream of becoming
an author. There is so much to love about this novel, the family dynamics, the
promise of new beginnings, but there is a bit of sadness, and mystery perfectly
blended throughout the book.
I received a copy from the
publisher through Netgalley. Opinions
are my own.
