from the top 10 bestselling author of The Cornish Midwife. Perfect for fans of
Call The Midwife
A secret
love…
As winter
descends on the coastal town of Port Agnes, midwife Toni Samuels’ mood is as dark
as the winter clouds that roll in. Toni loves her job as a midwife, but her
private life is falling apart. Because Toni is keeping a secret– a relationship
with fellow male midwife Bobby that no one can ever know about.
A damaged
hope…
Kind and
gorgeous, Bobby is a huge hit at the midwifery centre, but he’s tired of
keeping his feelings for Toni a secret – of always coming second best. He knows
that Toni’s past is painful, but unless she can be open with her feelings for
him, he’s prepared to walk away from their love.
Can love
find a way?
Toni
loves Bobby and wishes things could be different between them. But torn between
her past and a future with him, everything seems hopeless. Until fate hands
Toni one last chance…
Now
Toni’s secret wish is in her hands…if only she can be brave enough to take a
chance and make her dreams come true.
An
uplifting and escapist read, perfect for fans of Christie Barlow, Jessica
Redland and Holly Martin!
What readers are saying about The Cornish Midwife...
'I love
second chance stories. I love returning home stories. So a book combining both
is an absolute winner for me. The Cornish Midwife is simply gorgeous. Stunning
setting, wonderful characters, and oozing with warmth. A triumph from Jo
Bartlett and a cracking start to what promises to be a fabulous series' Jessica
Redland
'Perfectly
written and set in the beating heart of a community, this story is a wonderful
slice of Cornish escapism.' Helen J Rolfe

Lovely to have another return trip to Port Agnes and the Midwife team. This is the third book in the series although can be read as a standalone. This time we focus on Toni (whilst nicely catch up with old favourites).
Previously unsure of Toni and why she seemed a little standoffish, this time we learn her back story – a personal tragedy that has affected all future relationships, if she was to ever go public with one. We were aware of something between Toni and fellow midwife Bobby but never the true extent of things until this book.
Once you know why Toni is the way she is, and acts the way she does, it is understandable if a little frustrating. Bobby is wonderful; kind and caring and has already proved how very patient and understanding he is. Pushed to his limits, he starts to think that it’s time to move on even if that would be the hardest thing to do.
I enjoyed the slight change of pace with this one, the previous two books were quite dramatic and this is more an emotional journey.
Toni is a lovely character; my heart really went out to her but at times I just wanted her to wake up a little and see everything from another point of view. She keeps a lot to herself which is a shame as she is surrounded by the most supportive people.
I liked the progression of the other characters stories too and I am very keen for the next book so we can hear more of Jess’ story.
A heart warming visit to the Cornish midwives this time but another great book in a very enjoyable series. Well written and full of loveable characters. Cosy up and have a read!
