Today I’m joining the blog tour for The Bookshop At The Cornish Cove. My review is written with thanks to Rachel Gilbey at Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me on the tour and to Boldwood Books for my copy of the book.

Blurb:

Dare to dream big…

When Nancy opened her dream bookshop overlooking the golden sands and shimmering waters of Driftwood Bay, she may have taken on a little too much. She might know all about books, but doesn’t know the first thing about business! She did however, want to do something meaningful with the inheritance money she got from her beloved Aunty Theresa.

When Dennis, visiting grandson of one of her dearest friends, offers to help, Nancy knows she can’t say no. Dennis is a high-flying businessman, with a fancy London job and a successful banking portfolio to prove it.

Trouble is, he makes the worst first impression. Nothing short of an insufferable know-it-all, Dennis takes every opportunity to remind her how out of her depth she is.

But Nancy knows her strengths, and just as much as she needs Dennis, he needs her too. There’s plenty she can teach him, and the more she shows off her world of Driftwood Bay, where the pace of life is slower and the morning sunrises are the most beautiful thing you can witness, perhaps they could become more than just business partners?

An utterly gorgeous romantic read set by the beautiful Cornish coast, perfect for fans of Phillipa Ashley and Heidi Swain.

Review:

Despite not being a regular romance reader, I love this series. Kim Nash knows the romantic comedy genre like the back of her hand and I love how her writing makes me feel part of the community she has built up so brilliantly. Her descriptions are so clear and I could picture everything while I was reading as though I was there, walking along the beach, swimming in the sea and chilling out in the bookshop.

In The Bookshop At The Cornish Cove, we catch up with several characters that we met in the previous books in this series. It’s great to be able to find out what happened to them after the novels finished. Kim Nash creates characters of all ages and backgrounds that are extremely relatable and likeable and I was rooting for them all, well, most of them, throughout the novel. The protagonist of this story is Nancy, and I loved seeing her grow as the story progressed and she became more confident. She’s a first person narrator and I love how Kim Nash uses this technique to make her story feel more personal.

The Bookshop At The Cornish Cove will appeal to anyone who has even a passing interest in reading. As a book lover, I was in heaven as she took the reader through the vintage editions, brand new hardbacks and accessories that she sells in her shop. I can’t let this review go without mentioning my delight that Kim Nash references the quotation that inspired my blog!

As the novel reaches its conclusion, there are a number of interesting twists and turns and I was intrigued to see how everything would come together!

I hope we will be back in Driftwood Bay very soon!

The Bookshop At The Cornish Cove is available from Amazon.
