When her dreams of young love were cruelly shattered, Nerissa Morgan found it hard to move on. Now, at forty-three, everyone around her is enjoying life while she’s just going through the motions. With her boss retiring and rumours of a new doctor coming in to take over the practice she manages, change is coming, whether she’s ready for it or not.
Following the death of his beloved wife, Tom Nelson
buried himself in work at his busy inner-London GP practice. When his teenage
children find themselves in trouble at school, he realises he’s completely lost
touch with them. Desperate to reconnect before it’s too late, he whisks his
family away to the pretty seaside village of Mermaids Point determined to make
a fresh start.
But
all is not as idyllic as it seems. With his predecessor reluctant to let go of
the reins and the children as distant as ever, the last thing Tom needs is an
undeniable attraction to the woman he unexpectedly finds himself sharing a roof
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:
A pleasure to be back in Mermaids Point with Autumn Dreams at Mermaids Point by Sarah Bennett. Although the second book in the series, it can easily be read as a standalone. The main character has changed to someone involved in the story in book one but not the focus, so it’s nice to get a chance to catch up with what’s happened to characters from before but also get a more in-depth look at someone else’s story.
Mermaids Point is a cute, coastal village with interesting characters that create a good community feel. This time we mainly focus on the stories of Nerissa and Tom. Both characters have suffered heart-breaking losses and although their grief has calmed to a liveable level neither feel the need to move past that.
The more we read the more we see that both are struggling with how they are; they miss that spark in their lives. Tom has two children and when they come to the village and slap bang into Nerissa’s life, things look set to change whether they want them to or not.
As their friendship evolves, they both help each other heal in various ways. I love Nerissa and how she takes to both children, supporting them whilst not being too much too soon.
With moments of laughter, emotion and drama this is a brilliant read. I hope there is a return visit soon, I can’t wait to catch up with all of these characters and see what fun is in store next.
