Stella Hutton is a young lawyer who has an apartment that overlooks the rugged cliffs of Micklewick Bay. She is has been very serious about her career as a lawyer and never had time for romance.
However, one day she is at the local pub ‘The Jolly Sailors’ a handsome stranger walks in with Fred his Labrador and walks up to her. The stranger Alex Bainbridge introduces himself.
Sure enough Stella and Alex feel a connection. It was such fun following their journey. It was more than their romance it was finding someone you can trust and share and develop a true relationship.
This was my first Eliza J. Scott story. I enjoyed her ‘A Letter from the Author’ as well as her ‘Acknowledgements.
She tells us about her research. We know Micklewick Bay is a fictional town but she tells us the names of the areas that we just may find sound a lot like Micklewick Bay.
This was an enjoyable read.
Want to thank NetGalley and Storm Publications for this early eGalley.

Love these books By Eliza. Loved Summer Days at Clifftop Cottage. This is the next book all about Stella. She's a junior barrister but doesn't believe in love as her mother kept saying don't let a man rule your life
I didn't like it as much as others. It was much too wordy and difficult to follow. The story seemed OK, but just too much going on and too muchndialogue to follow.
This was such a sweet, wholesome book. I absolutely loved the setting so much, I could picture everything! The characters were loveable and the plot kept me interested.
A good story about barrister Stella and new to Micklewick Bay Alex. Some points felt a bit plodding but a good overall romance with interesting characters.
I loved this book so much, it is so nice to find a wholesome feel-good romance.
It was a quick read for me and I loved how easy it was to get into the author's writing style as well!
Ah, dear Stella, you finally got hit by Cupid's arrow! I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Stella is so determined to stay single until Alex shows up, then ... not so much. To be fair it's not an easy road with Stella dealing with her deadbeat father who suddenly shows up, a stalker, and her Mum's new love interest. Not to mention a very amusing misunderstanding over some underwear that had me giggling! The descriptions of Micklewick Bay make me want to go and visit. Well worth reading and although characters from the previous book appear, this can be read as a standalone.
Thanks to Netgalley, Storm Publishing and Eliza J. Scott for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
A very relaxing book to read. Good characters and about friendship, family, love and a dog. All of the afore mentioned, stranded together with work stories, mystery and overall, generally a good story.
I absolutely love a good feel good romance and this perfectly fits the bill. I am so excited to share my thoughts and a full review. I apologize as I am recovering from some serious health issues I am slowly catching up on reviews but Eliza J Scott is definitely added to my list of authors I love. It's so nice to showcase in a book that you can find love after heartbreak and good nice guys do win
Finding Love in Micklewick Bay is an entertaining read. It is always fun to visit England and enjoy the lives of a group of women in a seaside town. Stella is a barrister and was raised by a single mother. She enjoys getting together with her friends and is not looking for a long term relationship. This changes when she meets the architect of her new condo.
I loved the scenes of life in the town. At first it seemed as if that is all it would be in the novel, and that was ok. However, there was more to the story as Stella finally meets the father who abandoned her as a baby and she simultaneously has to deal with a scummy opposing barrister on a difficult case.
The author did a very good job in describing family and friend relationships. as well as general life in the town of Micklewick. This reads as a standalone although there are other books in this series.
I really enjoyed the escape, romance and friendships depicted in this novel.
I really wanted to love this story. It is good but didn’t capture me like I thought it would. Stella is the main female and it’s all in her POV. I am not sure I would call it a true romance. There is even some drama/suspense in it. I didn’t feel the love connection as well between Stella and Alex. I wish there was some more spark. I do like that they got their happy ending but I wanted a little more. All in all it wasn’t a horrible story but it wasn’t my favorite.
