Summer Kisses at Mermaids Point" by Sarah Bennett. What can I say other than I loved it and read in one day. Who doesn’t want to escape to a small village by the sea...
The setting of a tiny village called Mermaid Point sounded breathtaking, I could picture it especially as I have visited small villages along the coast of England. It had everything you could want in a story love, family, community and second chances.
I found the characters to be well developed, and multi-dimensional. There were multiple sub-plots like the mermaid sighting to keep you engaged and interested in the outcome. I must admit I choked up a bit at the end, and was glad this is a series and I'll get to meet the characters again because I wanted to know more and what would happen next. It’s a great start to a new series, and I can’t wait to pick up Nerissa’s story in the next book!
I will definitely read other books by this author.
I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Boldwood Books and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read this book.
Another great book from Sarah.
When an image is posted online of a mermaid sighted at Mermaid point author Jake heads to Mermaid point to follow the story. Laurie has had her heart broken a number of times she concentrates on her coffee shop business and tries not to let Jake in. They eventually decide to take the plunge with each other but will Jakes secret spoil everything.

I listened to this on Audible as a lighthearted, easy listening book. It did not disappoint on that front.

Cute story… outrageously dramatic for no reason… but I feel as though a lot of these stories follow that same soapy format. I definitely want to plow through the series as the whole community/family slant was charming and excellent escapism.
