ABOUT THE BOOK
A fresh start
It’s been a year since book editor Melissa Martyn’s husband passed away. Now it’s time to write a new chapter for herself.
And so she is welcomed back to the cozy Cornish village of Penworthal. Her close-knit group of girlfriends even start a book club to get Melissa back into the swing of things in Cornwall.
It seems she’s met with open arms by all but one.
A chance for forgiveness
English literature professor Nathan Kellow blames Melissa for the death of her husband — his best friend.
But Nathan has a secret. He has always been drawn to Melissa. And now he hates himself more than ever for the feelings he’s desperate to quash.
Keeping the barrier between himself and Melissa firmly in place is the easiest way to do that.
A love that could heal all
But Melissa and Nathan soon bond over their shared love of books, drawn together by the mutual attraction they’ll do anything to deny. Especially to each other.
Because they fear they’re doing the unforgiveable . . . Falling in love. Is fate offering Melissa and Nathan a second chance at a happy ending, or is this going to be a heartbreak they’ll never forget?

MY REVIEW
Another enjoyable romance read from the author!! Set against the backdrop of Cornwall, we are introduced to Melissa who is recovering from the loss of her husband 1 year ago. If it was up to her she’d hide away for longer, but her neighbour Josie won’t let that happen and gets her involved in a local book club to get back out into the world!
Her family are back in Tennessee but Melissa loves the Cornwall life and makes her feel close to Robin, and surrounded by people who loved him too. His friend Nathan, for some reason, seems to blame Melissa for Robins’ death and it’s only until they spend time together and talk that the reality of his belief is shattered.
There’s a nice slower pace to this story, and watching her reconnect with the world and think about dating again is approached with care and didn’t feel fake or rushed. The characters are the big draw in this book as they are in their 40’s so have a more mature attitude to life!
The friendship group have problems of their own too, so that gives you a chance to see that problems happen to everyone and come in all shapes and sizes! And it was good to have different issues to focus on.
A real ‘feelgood’ book about moving on and the importance of friendship.
