Barefoot on the Beach - Katlyn Duncan



Renee Clarke is perfectly happy just the way she is…



Renee may be thrilled to be planning her sister’s wedding, but after witnessing her mother’s two failed marriages, she has always vowed that she is better off on her own.



But when Renee discovers that Luc Hardy has moved next door, her world is knocked off kilter. Luc was her whirlwind summer romance as a teen and, more importantly, her first love. Now he’s back in West Cove, looking more handsome than ever.



There is no escaping the romance in the air this summer. With the wedding planning in full swing, Renee begins to believe that she might be able to put her childhood reservations about marriage aside.



Yet when her mother arrives, she stirs a torrent of emotions in Renee’s heart. She’s up to her old tricks again – boasting about her latest conquests – reaffirming Renee’s lack of faith in love.



As Renee’s happily-ever-after hangs in the balance, will Luc be able to convince her that true love can last forever?


A totally heart-warming summer romance you won’t want to put down! Perfect for fans of Jenny Hale, Susan Mallery and Lucy Coleman

My Review



A lovely, charming read that is about second chances, relationships and romance. It’s a cosy read, especially if you are struggling to focus at the moment. 



It is very well written and the story moves along nicely, I was fully engrossed from the start and really invested in the characters.  Renee is quite a character; think she is very determined, brave and cares a lot for others. Her sister takes advantage to some extent although Renee could stand up for herself more.



The relationship between Renee and Luc is special – what a lovely surprise to find your teenage sweetheart back next door, I would have loved to have more romance (I’m a sucker for love!). Luc is a lovely character though, I liked him a lot.



This book incorporates a lot of family problems, issues with parents and how what they do can affect people going through their own lives. It is a lovely read and remains light even when addressing some more complex themes.



With gorgeous settings and wonderful descriptions, enjoy your walk along the beach!
