DESCRIPTION:

Escape to the beautiful coast in this heartwarming romance

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.


MY THOUGHTS:
 
Although starting off in the red, Nancy has achieved her dream of opening her own bookshop. However, Nancy is more than a bit short of business acumen, so she has her work cut out for her. When a man named Dennis comes to Driftwood Bay, he sees Nancy’s struggles and offers her his business expertise. Since he is the grandson of one of her dear friends, Nancy agrees to accept his help. 

Even though Dennis can definitely offer Nancy the benefit of his experience, the two get off on the wrong foot, and definitely don’t see eye to eye. As they are seemingly opposites in every way, I loved the romance that bloomed between them. 

With the friction between Nancy and Dennis, this book could be a tense read at times, but it certainly made me smile more than once. I loved the story within a story and could not take my eyes off of the screen of my Kindle. I love how Kim Nash easily pulled me into the story. Equally wonderful and heartwarming, this is a book that I highly recommend. 

Many thanks to Boldwood Books and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
