‘Delightfully romantic and touching.’ Phillipa Ashley
Laurie
Morgan runs a café in the small seaside community of Mermaids Point, named
after the beauties rumoured to live in the waters a few miles off the top of
the point. When a hazy image is posted online of what appears to be a mermaid,
the café and the village are soon full to bursting with curious
sightseers.
The
most eye-catching of the new arrivals is handsome author, Jake Smith, who has
rented a cottage for the summer while he works on his new book. Or so he says.
In fact, he is a journalist, burned out and disillusioned with life, whose
editor has sent him on a crack-pot hunt for mermaids...
Jake
quickly finds himself drawn to village life, and to the
gorgeous woman who runs the local café. But he soon suspects there’s trouble
lurking beneath the idyllic façade, and when it looks like Laurie’s family
might be involved, Jake faces a difficult choice. Pursue the truth, or protect
the woman he’s beginning to fall in love with…
Warm, escapist, feel-good and altogether brilliant story-telling from
bestselling author Sarah Bennett. Perfect for all fans of Trisha Ashley and
Milly Johnson.

My Review:I love books that involve cute cafes, seaside communities
and a little bit of romance. This first in a new series by Sarah Bennett has
really got me hooked and already looking forward to more.
A perfect read for a couple of hours light relief and escape. Mermaids Point
sounds like a brilliant community and a picturesque seaside town, would be
lovely if we could visit and spot some mermaids for ourselves.
Here we have Jake, a burned-out journalist that finds
himself in Mermaids Point following the story of recent mermaid sightings. It’s
a definite change of pace for him and he isn’t exactly upfront about his
reasons for being there.
Laurie runs the local café and is keen for trade to pick up.
She’s had her heartbroken so is focusing her attention on the business and
supporting her family. When Jake and Laurie meet there is an instant attraction,
but will their pasts come back to ruin any chance of romance? How will Laurie
feel when she discovers the truth about Jake’s stay.
In this will they/won’t they romance, there is fun and
laughter alongside mystery and intrigue -thanks to a couple of possible mermaid
sightings.
Nicely paced and a brilliant writing style meant I flew
through this book in one indulgently lazy sitting. I was swept up in the lives
of the characters. I am really pleased there will be chance to go back to Mermaids
Point, and I hope we get to see a few of these characters again and catch up
with how things are.
Fans of Sarah will love this latest release, if this is the
first time you have read anything by this author I highly recommend her other
book series.
