Review: Forever at Conwenna Cove

Forever at Conwenna Cove by Darcie Boleyn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this book, we return to Conwenna Cove, my favourite fictional holiday resort! This time we are introduced to Zoe with a secret past that she is coming to terms with but who has found sanctuary in the little village. As the owner of the local diner, and a lover of greyhounds, the story starts with Zoe grieving for the loss of her rescue dog, Raven.

Local surfer Nate wants to experience life before it’s too late. He wants to surf the waves in Oz and see the world. With a reputation as a lady’s man, when he teams up with Zoe to organise a fun raising event for the local greyhound sanctuary, she keeps him at arm’s length, but destiny has other ideas.

I am a massive fan of this series of books, because each one feels like a holiday. The descriptions in the book are fantastic, and really lift off the page, this isn’t a travelogue, it’s a story told from the heart.

As for the characters you really do root for them. I loved Zoe and could see myself and her sitting on the bench outside her cottage chatting about life with an ice cold glass of wine in my hand, as the sun set over the cove.

When I picked up this book to read it, I said to my other half “I’m off on holiday for a few days!” and when the initial shock wore off, and he realised that I was talking about a Conwenna Cover story, he laughed, nodded and said “Send me a postcard.” The wonderful thing? I got to go on holiday without sitting in hours of traffic, without getting sand in my suitcase, and when I got back home I didn’t have piles and piles of holiday washing!
