after her husband leaves her for another woman Nadia and her two children move back home to her mother's. I didn't realize this was a series, will definitely get the other books.
Jo has given us a sixth book in the Cornish Midwife series and this is as brilliant as the rest of them . This series could go on for ever and I would enjoy every single one. Wonderful stories and and so well written. Boldwood Books know how to get the best authors giving us the best books. I recommend this and give it 5 stars.
Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for this ARC
Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. Having loved the Cornish Midwives series to date, I was excited to read the latest festive instalment. This was, as ever, an enjoyable gentle read, although I perhaps didn't enjoy it as much as the others, and would have liked to see more of the original characters like Ella. However, I was engaged with the story and characters, and the Christmassy setting was beautiful.
Another great book inThe Cornish Midwife series and although it has scenes from Christmas it goes beyond that. This book focuses on Nadia and her family but includes tales of all the Midwives and introduces Dr Hamish!! I won’t give too much away, as I hate knowing too much about a storyline, but it does keep you on your feet. Brilliantly written with short paragraphs which I love but once you start this book you can’t put it down. Thanks to Jo and her publisher. Also thanks to NetGalley.
Another nice romance in the midwife series. Nadia might be my favorite character we have gotten to follow. The series is good but not necessary to read in order to enjoy.
A Christmas Kiss will steal her heart.
Book Six.
Midwife Nadia Ennor returns from New Zealand to Port Agnes from a broken marriage in the flat above her Mums Cookie Jar Cafe along with her two children Remi and Mo its a bit cramped but its her sanctuary after all the pain she has been through.
Doctor Hamish Spencer young Daughter Daisy becomes friends with her daughter Remi, and Hamish and Nadia also get to spend a lot of time together.
I could not put this heart breaking story down that takes us through a whole lot of sensitive subjects with emotions then you cannot help shed a few tears.
This author has planned out all the chapters 100% for her readers that I could not find one fault in.
Its so deeply moving with a perfect ending. left me a contented Booklover.
A great read with a a wide variety of characters and a heartwarming storyline that had plenty of bumps along the way. The main characters were Nadia, a midwife, who has returned home from New Zealand with her two children after her marriage breaks down and Hamish is a single dad who is also the dishy local GP. There is an instant attraction but will anything come of it? There are plenty of other stories involving the other characters but this certainly didn’t make it tricky to follow. I thought it all flowed really well and in my opinion all the other stories were very relevant. A real sense of respect, commitment and community came through. I loved how Nadia and Hamish put their children first. Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars
This book was a cute christmas vibes friends to lovers - with the added of them both being single parents
It was a nice feel good Christmassy book, with well written characters who you started to get attached to the more you read
It was nice to read a book with a single parent trope where they have a child who is older than about 12, as in most books the children they already have are quite young, so it was interesting to see how an older child would react to their parent starting dating
To begin with it did take me a bit to get into - I think this was because as I haven’t read any of the previous Cornish Midwife i meant that I didn’t know who many of the characters were so I had to keep pausing my reading so that I could think about who was who - this wouldn’t have been an issue had I read the previous books
I was also slightly confused about some of the povs, because even though it is in third person the books switch between three main povs: the fmc, the mmc and the fmc’s mother. And as there were no chapter names it meant sometimes I was a bit confused about which pov I was reading from - especially since I hadn’t realised when I started the book that some chapter where from the mothers perspective
I do wish it had a bit more of developed ending in the sense that they literally officially get together and then the books ends, like I want to know what happens next either in the current time or in an epilogue 2 years later - like when do they move in together, how to there children react to them officially dating, do they have a child together??
I have loved this series and this book was one the better ones to read. Loved the relationship between Nadia and Hamish! As always a lovely setting for it too.
A fantastic read. I absolutely love this series of books catching up with old characters who feel like friends ,and the storylines are so relatable. What a beautiful person Nadia is goes above and beyond to help her patients and is a great mother to her lovely children. It's full of love ,friendships, and also heartbreaking situations that happens to family and which keep you wanting to read more .Was really rooting for her when she meets Hamish a widower with two children but can they overcome all the problems from the past and find some happiness for themselves. Highly recommend this book
I didn’t realize this book is part of a series.
Nadia is a single mom and a busy midwife. Hamish is trying to raise his two daughters and move on in his life. Together they make a good team.
The book deals with some real life issues. There’s plenty of romance to go around and it’s a lovely story.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the early copy
I think the best one to date. It covered some difficult subjects well. I won’t spoil it by mentioning what. Good to catch up with everyone. Teenager children are cunning . I love how the teacher thought being a doctor was more important than a midwife . I laughed as she wouldn’t think that when she was in labour. The husband in New Zealand made you so cross. A brilliant read. Absolutely loved it
Once again Jo Bartlett delivers a book filled to the brim with drama, excitement, emotion and of course a way to catch up with all the other midwives we have met too.
This is another excellent addition to the series, and there is one storyline in particular that had me welling with emotion fairly early on. Then there are as you would expect a variety of different births, given Frankie and Nadia both work on the midwife unit, some rather unexpected and all quite varied in circumstances.
It was lovely to meet so many more expectant mothers within the Three Ports area, and I have to say that Cornwall by now must be undergoing a baby boom!
Frankie and Nadia are our main characters this time, along with Dr Hamish. Nadia and Hamish are both single parents and their 6 year old daughters are best friends. They are though both single for very different reasons and I was fascinated by their back stories.
And it was great getting to know Frankie a lot better too, and she is also struggling with a family relationship, not with her daughter Nadia, but her son Hari and her mother are both being completely and utterly unreasonable and I really wanted to knock some sense into then.
And although the book does take part in the run up to Christmas, it was more as backdrop, than a key part of the story, so if you are dubious about reading festive things too early in the year, then this one should be fine as the emphasis on the story is more on a variety of relationships both romantic and family.
I absolutely adored this book, and this series as a whole, I love the authors writing style and felt as t though I was returning to friends, such is the sense of community that has been created. I really hope there will be more books to this series.
Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
I absolutely love The Cornish Midwife books and this was just the most perfect festive addition. I love how the stories blend together and you explore more as the books go on. This is possibly my favourite one now.
Great book im so glad that you wrote this i love fantasy and romance. your an amazing writer and the book is amazing keep writing more like this.
Another great book in the midwife series. Nadia has left her husband in New Zealand and returned to stay with her mother Frankie. Getting her children adjusted to a new life she meets up with the town GP and sparks fly.
I absolutely adore this seri elf books and was delighted to be back in port Agnes with the midwives and to be immersed in their daily lives and all that comes with them. This is the sixth book in the series but could he read as a standalone although I highly recommend starting the series at the beginning for maximum enjoyment.
This instalment. Concentrated on he characters of Nadia and her family and saw the introduction of Hamish the local GP and Genevieve a new patient who Nadia knows from her youth.
As always the stories in the series are so much more than just cosy romance and cover lots of relatable and sensitive life issues and this one was no exception.
This was an uplifting and inspiring read and also full of hope for the future.
I can’t wait for the next instalment of this series. It would make a fabulous tv serialisation.
Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for an advance copy of the book in exchange for a review.
I've read all the Cornish Midwife books so was delighted to read this one and once again it didn't disappoint. Another lovely read from Jo Bartlett.
I love the Cornish midwife series! It’s such a cosy read and such a lovely feeling! The characters feel so familiar despite the fact I haven’t read the books in order! The small town feels so familiar and you can just picture the places with them. Such a feel good story as you know what ever the starting point the ending will be top notch
