Review: The Secret of Angel Cove



The Secret of Angel Cove - 4 stars:


I read Winter at Cliff’s End Cottage last year, and loved it so much that I have since read many of Sheila Norton’s back catalogue. And so I jumped on the chance to review The Secret of Angel Cove.


What a lovely story. I loved meeting Joy and Sara, and all the other more minor characters. I loved reading about the friendship that the two of them strike up, when they’re both at a time of big change in their lives. I really enjoy reading stories about friendship between people of different ages, because we don’t just make friends with people our own age in real life.


I loved the setting too. The Smugglers’ Cottages at Angel Cove sound like such a beautiful place to live. 


I enjoyed the flashbacks to Philip and Chrissie’s story too, and all the conversations at the historical society.


I don’t know what else to say really, apart from how happy reading this book made me feel. I really loved reading about characters of lots of different ages.


Overall, this was a lovely, relaxing read, chiefly about friendship, but also with some romance thrown in.

Review: Sweet Mercies

Sweet Mercies by Anne Booth My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved Small Miracles, so I was thrilled to be offered a copy of Sweet Mercies (the sequel) to review. I was such a joy to return and spend time with the Sisters of Saint Philomena again. I loved the sense of community, both in the convent, and the wider area. It’s wonderful to see how all the characters are getting on, they feel like old friends. I especially loved the kittens, and their interactions with Sister Cecilia. The plot was great, I loved all the different threads running through the book, and the way they intertwined. I enjoyed the sense of history, and the way it all comes together in the end. Overall, this book was a joy to read, full of community and kindness. I really hope that there will be more books in the series. I’d love to learn more about Sister Cecilia’s past. I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. View all my reviews

Review: The Christmas Love Letters: a gorgeous, heartwarming new Christmas romance to cosy up with this winter

The Christmas Love Letters: a gorgeous, heartwarming new Christmas romance to cosy up with this winter by Sue Moorcroft My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love Sue Moorcroft books, and Christmas books, so I was excited to be invited to read The Christmas Love Letters. I was not disappointed! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I loved the story relating to the love letters, and how they (eventually) brought people together. I loved the setting. Nelson’s Bar is clearly a beautiful place near the sea, and all the snow made the book seem extra Christmassy. The characters were also great. I loved Maddy, and the way she’s coped under difficult circumstances, and given Lyla such a lovely childhood. I really liked Raff too, and in fact all the other characters, with the exception of Harris. I understand his reasons, but that is not how you treat anyone you care about! Sue Moorcroft has produced another beautifully romantic and Christmassy story. I highly recomme

Review: The Ice Garden

The Ice Garden by Guy Jones My rating: 4 of 5 stars A magical tale. I really enjoyed this book. I so felt for the main character, as I’m allergic to the sun too (though not to anything like the same extent). It is nice to see a book where disability is not magically fixed, but seen as something you have to learn to live with. View all my reviews
