A picture-perfect town, a place where dreams come true. Welcome to Ever After Street...
A tale
as old as time…
Since
her mum’s death, Marnie Platt has shut herself away from everyone who cares
about her. Worse, her beloved bookshop on Ever After Street is suffering too.
With sales down and the shop’s garden falling into disrepair, Marnie risks
losing the very last thing she loves. Until a chance encounter with her surly
and reclusive neighbour….
Dark
and brooding, Darcy O'Connell likes to keep himself to himself. But when he
hears Marnie needs help, he can’t turn his back on her. Soon they are spending
most evenings together in her enchanted garden and a friendship starts to
bloom…
With
the help of old and new friends on Ever After Street, Marnie's bookshop begins
to thrive again, and with Darcy's kindness, she starts to get her sparkle back
too. She just can't understand why Darcy continues to shut himself away -
especially from her. Can she convince him it isn't too late to embrace life,
and maybe love, again?
Because every story, even theirs,
deserves a happy ending….
Magical and heart warming, for Beauty and the Beast fans
everywhere. A story of romance, overcoming insecurities and being true to who
you are, no matter what.
A second book in the Ever After Street series, and a
glorious, fairytale that had me hooked from start to finish.
Marnie, grieving her Mum, runs bookshops – A Tale As Old As
Time. They ran the shop together, so her Mums loss has impacted in massive
ways. When the bookshop is put at risk, she is devastated and determined to make
changes, with or without the input from her grumpy neighbour Darcy. She’s never
seen him, nobody has, but a chance encounter from either side of the wall leads
to a very unique and unexpected friendship.
As the story unfolds, both Marnie and Darcy open up, they
help heal each other in many ways and form a bond that is special. When we discover
the trauma in Darcys history we can understand why he has been the way he has,
it was emotional and made his development throughout the story so much more
special.
I loved the characters, I think they complemented each other and
brought the best out of one another. I was so glad this book was set in a
bookshop (a book lovers dream!) yet again I felt the sense of community within
this story; with great characters we have previously met popping up and meeting
those that may take a main role in future books.
A gorgeous read, great writing, engaging characters and I am
already looking forward to the next in the series.
