A secret romance was just the start of the story…
Tucked into a crook of the Norfolk coast lies Nelson’s Bar – an idyllic village where time seems to stand still. Maddy Cracey has called this beautiful spot home all her life, as had her husband Adey – until an epic row sent him storming out into a blizzard, with no sign of him since that fateful night.
Six years on, and Maddy’s life in the village has settled into a gentle pattern with her young daughter and Great Aunt Ruthie. However, when handsome stranger Raff turns up with a handful of long-forgotten love letters, their quiet life is upended as family secrets from the past are unearthed.
As Raff and Maddy get to know each other, they grow closer and a love story of their own seems inevitable. But when Maddy receives a mysterious message, she can’t help but wonder whether her own past is as distant as she'd thought it was…
Firstly thank you to Rachels Random Resources, Avon and Sue Moorcroft for having me on this tour and sending me a copy of the book.
I've not read a book by Sue Moorcroft before but I know she's got a reputation for writing fantastic romances so I knew I was in good hands with this fab Christmas helping of romance. And I've loved it, it's got me in an early festive mood reading about Maddy and Raff and I so loved Ruthie.
It's a fantastically written book and it drew me into the story from the very first letter, and the very quick change of scene confused me until we got our first glimpse of Ruthie and then it slotted into place. Learning about Ruthie and Nigel in little snippets was brilliant, it meant they were still a big part of the story even if they weren't the main focus of the romance.
The whole bit about Maddy's Husband I saw coming, love is never easy so there had to be something to get in their way, but whilst I knew it was coming I was still sat there wanting to know what would happen next.
I've loved every page of this book, it's definitely a re-reader for me and I will be heading to the library to find more books by Sue Moorcroft now.
Thanks so much for your lovely, positive review, Krystina. And thank you for joining the blog tour.
