I feel like I say this every time I write a
review for Holly Martin’s latest book, but that’s only because it has to be
said; she out does herself every time and her books just get better and better.
People call her the queen of romance and I have to say, they would be right.
She writes feel good romantic comedies flawlessly and they are not to be
missed.
In ‘The Holiday Cottage by the Sea,’
our lovely leading lady Tori Graham is visiting the seaside for a much needed
break and to see her best friends, who recently moved back home and whom she
misses immensely. She is excited to catch up and enjoy time with her friends
and get stuck into her little summer job of helping to pick the village's famous
heartberries. Tori is keeping a few secrets that make her feel quite emotional
about going back to the home of someone she was once very close to, but she’s
surprised to meet some very friendly locals, who help her come to terms with
her past and look forward to her future. One local in particular being an
incredibly attractive fruit farmer. Can Tori learn to take risks and open her
heart again? Will the magic of the heartberries prove true? You will have to
read to find out!
I kid you not I was smiling and laughing
and so totally into this book from reading just the first few pages. Holly got
the humour and the story spot on and I easily sank back into my couch and
devoured it. Tori was funny, sweet and I absolutely loved that she was an
animator. Holly always gives her characters the coolest jobs, which she has
done so much research into. I find myself day dreaming about different career
paths, but also feeling like I’ve had a small bit of experience in various
industries after I’ve finished reading them. It’s very cool. If only I could
add them to my CV! :p
As well as Tori, her friends and the rest
of a colourful cast in Sandcastle bay, there was one person in particular that
drew me in. The fruit farmer, whose name I don’t want to give, because I feel
like it’s a fun little introduction at the beginning of the book. I couldn’t
help but smile and I’ll admit to giggling a bit too. I can’t spoil that for you
and have you miss out. I will just say that he’s a bit of a dreamboat and I
rather liked him a lot!
Like I said before, Holly hits the nail on
the head with romance and a heap of comedy for good measure. She comes up with
unique places, characters and stories that will make you feel all warm and cosy
inside. If you’re going on holiday, having a break from work or household jobs,
or are just looking for a something that will brighten your spirits for a
while, then she’s the woman you need. Settle down with a cup of tea, a piece of
cake and let her take you on an adventure filled with love.
I can’t wait for her next story. I have a
feeling It’s going to be good!
Happy Reading!
Love
