Summary

Welcome to the picturesque seaside town of Holly Blue Bay, where love blossoms in the most unusual of places.

Daisy Clarke arrives in Holly Blue Bay at the request of the town’s mayor. The mayor wants Daisy to perform a marketing miracle on the town, and to increase the visitor numbers too. The town holds a special place in Daisy’s heart as something magical happened to her when she visited this place as a child. She’s determined to show the rest of the world how wonderful the town is, and will use all her marketing skills to do so.

Jacob Smythe is a grumpy handyman who turns up at Daisy’s new office. She immediately mistakes him for someone else, which certainly breaks the ice between them. Just as Jacob is warming to Daisy, the mayor turns up and tells him why Daisy is in Holly Blue Bay. Jacob is furious and refuses to admit the town needs help, especially from an outsider.

Things change over the next few days as Jacob and Daisy spend more time together. They find themselves drawn to each other, and love begins to grow. But then something terrible happens which results in Daisy deciding to leave Holly Blue Bay, and Jacob, behind. Can Jacob convince her to stay?

Easy listening.

An amusing and warm spirited little tale which may chime with those who wish to escape the pressures of city life. The narrator does an excellent job of directing her performance and conveying the characterisations.


Overall I would recommend this title if this is your usual reading fare and wish to relax for a pleasant few hours.

Light and fun summer romance

Nice little summer romance, perfect to listen to in the car as you drive to a seaside town. Daisy's really likeable and cute dynamic between other characters like Jacob and the mayor and the mayor and the postman. Feelgood and well read by the narrator whose very expressive and funny.
