Cat Devon is finally with the love of her life – and she couldn’t be happier about that. But discovering the identity of her real dad and the fact she has two half-brothers was a shock. Getting to know her new family is now a priority.
Kyra Devon is only eighteen, but she’s more mature than her mum in many ways and is coping far better with everything that’s happened. Kyra knows what she wants and unlike Cat, she’s not going to let opportunities slip away.
Mary Devon has regained her daughter and her granddaughter, but she’s grieving for her mother, and also for the loss of the love she thought she’d found. Putting on a brave face may not be the best way for Mary to get over it.
When a long-lost painting called Moonbeams Kiss is discovered in a hidden cellar beneath the floorboards in Devon Villa, a story of love, loss and treachery unfolds, bringing with it repercussions for each of the Devon women.
This is Book Two in Emily Harvale's Merriment Bay series which is interconnected to her Wyntersleap series. Each series can be read alone, but several characters appear in both series.
I am new to Emily Harvale’s books so was really interested to see what this book would be like. I hadn’t read the previous book – I think it probably would’ve helped if I had, especially at the beginning as it seemed to ‘pick up’ from where it has been left off a little bit. I could figure out the gist of what had happened but found myself with some questions/wondering about things.
Once I was a few chapters in and the story really got going I was hooked though, I loved the range of characters, once I had who was connected to who and how it was lovely to learn things about each of them.
The discovery in Devon House was fantastic and really hooked me in. I love a bit of mystery and this was very well written, with intrigue and great information. It’s definitely action packed and I enjoyed seeing how each of the characters had different developments no matter of age or situation.
A lovely read if you like strong female characters, a bit of mystery and a wee bit of romance. I will be looking to read more by this author!
