Again Kim Nash has given us a wonderful feel good hug of a book. It was great to be back in Driftwood Bay this time following Nancy whilst living her ultimate dream of owning her own bookshop and getting totally immersed with heartwarming characters you never want to leave. This series of books are just the perfect escapism read which should not be missed at any cost.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review. It truly was an absolute pleasure.

Such a sweet books- what I didn’t realize is that it’s part of a series though it doesn’t matter as much. I think Nancy and Dennis saved each other from themselves!

A lovely romance. Nancy opens her dream bookshop on the Cornish coast. But a dream doesn't always include the expertise to run a business. Enter Dennis a London businessman who knows how to run a business but not how to deal with customers. Can the two come together to get the business going and to maybe find romance themselves?

Nancy uses the inheritance from her aunt to open up her dream bookshop by the beach in Cornish Cove. While she is adorable with her unmoving trust in the universe, her positive attitude, and her dedication to affirmations, she is not that keen on the business side.
Luckily, this is where the realist Dennis steps in, with his pragmatism and financial knowledge.
Kim Nash beautifully captures the magic of small-town life and the bravery of new beginnings.
I was really touched by the life story that Dennis shares. It was really emotional and has hit close to home for me.
The slow-building romance is comforting and I would have loved for it to be a closed doors romance. However, while the book excels in delivering sweetness and charm, the inclusion of a few unexpectedly steamy scenes feels somewhat out of place. These moments, while common in contemporary romance, clash with the book’s otherwise gentle and cute vibe. For a novel that thrives on its light-heartedness and emotional depth, the more explicit content can feel jarring and disrupt the flow. These scenes detract from the overall mood rather than enhance it.

Obsessed with Driftwood Bay and all it's residents.

I've read this series from the beginning and have loved each book more than the last. Nancy and Dennis are too cute and work so well together.

There hasn't been a single book of Kim's I've not enjoyed and I can't wait for my next visit to Driftwood.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When Nancy’s Aunt Theresa died, she left her an inheritance to help her set up the bookshop she had always wanted to run.

Nancy quite literally bumps in to Dennis, Vi’s grandson, and there is an instant attraction, but Nancy soon finds him quite irritating too!

We follow Nancy as she sets about her launch for the bookshop. With an uneasy pact between her and Dennis, they come up with some amazing ideas for the bookshop.

How I loved being back at the Cornish Cove. The characters are all like family, and I had a massive grin on my face whilst reading this book.

I enjoyed seeing the bookshop flourish under Nancy’s love and care. The community running around to help was wonderful, everyone cares for each other.

I was so happy when Vi (Dennis’s grandmother) made an appearance in this book. Her weird food combinations and outspoken views had me belly laughing.

This is a lighthearted and romantic story, set by the sea. I felt as though I was surrounded by love and warmth when reading this latest book in the series.

My thanks to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Lovely book. Loved the characters, and though slightly predictable it was an enjoyable read. Hopefully there’ll be another instalment so we can learn more about Dan!
Would definitely recommend this book

Another great instalment in this series, I love this authors style and the characters are fun. Can’t wait for the next one!

This is another fabulous book in the Cornish Cove series, I love this series; this latest book has some new faces and some old ones.

Nancy had wanted to open a bookshop, and after receiving an inheritance from her Aunt she has her dream come to fruition. One problem though, is that she is not exactly business-minded and there is more money going out than coming in. Dennis is stopping with his Grandmother, Vi. If you have read the previous books you will certainly remember this "says exactly what she thinks" character.

Dennis meets Nancy and while there is a sort of attraction they are two very different people, Dennis is a business analyst and thinks about money and making the most he can. Nancy is a dreamer, believing in fate and what will be, will be. A clash of personality and opinion doesn't make the best first impression, but Dennis has a very good reason for wanting to help Nancy turn her bookshop around.

This is another fun read and it had me chuckling on a few occasions. But there is something more serious for our characters to overcome and that is very much to do with their pasts and also how they perceive things to be. It doesn't help that Nancy's brother has also been kicked out of his house again and it seems to prove that relationships are not something that everyone can have or make work.

There is a lot of tension simmering through the story and this has been done very well with the other subplots the whole thing comes together wonderfully. Opinions and observations are shared, and some soul-searching is required for several of the characters and the residents of Driftwood Bay are eager to help out where they can. I do like how the author has brought in new ideas for the bookshop and it fits in so well with Nancy and the way she sees life.

I really enjoyed this book and it was wonderful to be back at Driftwood Bay with the characters and the community. A fabulous story and one for fans of contemporary fiction and romance. I would definitely recommend this one.

I don't wanna be dramatic, but this book was effing brilliant. Could not recommend it more! Have never read a book so fast!
So cute and sweet . Had to stay up very late to finish it - I inhaled it

Kim Nash is a fan author.
I loved all the characters, the bookshop setting.
An absolute joy of a book from start to finish.
An easy five stars from me.

The Bookshop at the Cornish Cove is a endearing tale of a young woman who opens a bookshop in her beloved hometown, Driftwood Bay. Nancy lives at home with her parents, after inheriting some money from her Aunty, she leaves her teaching position and following a lifelong dream, opens a bookshop.

The shop sounds beautiful, Nancy lights scented candles and creates extravagant seasonal displays. However, she is leaking money from the business, spending more than she can afford , with no effective business plan or publicity campaign. Que the gorgeous Grandson of the incorrigible Vi, Dennis. Vi is a favourite reoccurring character in the Driftwood bay book series, Dennis just passes through and is barely mentioned the picture created is of an older, sensible man, which this is the same impression Nancy has until she meets him. Dennis is indeed a business man but he is young and extremely attractive. Unfortunately he is also arrogant and when trying to help Nancy with ideas to develop her business, continually offends her, stepping on her toes and being rude about her lack of vision.

Nancy and Dennis discover that despite negative first impressions that they are in fact good for one another other. I loved the creative suggestions they come up with together for the bookshop. It made me long to find a place just like that to visit. Nancy shows Dennis what it is like to be part of a community to enjoy the simple things in life and care for your environment as well as all around you. There are plenty of amusing and heartwarming scenes as the two of them battle with their respective opinions and lifestyles to create a flourishing business.

All is not what it seems with Dennis. His life in London is a mystery and not everything is straightforward. Lies, tears and plenty of hugs from Nancy’s kindhearted, downtrodden brother, who is also on an emotional journey of his own, make for a heartening read.

I look forward to visiting Driftwood bay again in the future and hope that I also find the bookshop of Nancy’s dreams myself one day (as a frequent customer not owner!)

"The Bookshop at the Cornish Cove" by Kim Nash is a heartwarming tale that revolves around Nancy, a passionate book lover who fulfils her lifelong dream of opening a quaint bookshop in the charming setting of Driftwood Bay. Nancy's approach to running her bookstore without a concrete business plan reflects her faith in the universe's guiding hand. The narrative beautifully captures the undeniable spark between Nancy and Dennis, portraying their dynamic interactions and the magnetic pull of their contrasting personalities. This delightful and humorous romance novel offers readers a captivating and cozy escape into a world where the magic of love unfolds amidst the pages of a bookshop by the cove.

I've enjoyed my forays to the Cornish Cove of Driftwood Bay thanks to Kim Nash, and couldn't wait for the next visit.
This time we get to know Nancy. She's lived there all her life and gone from teaching to her dream of opening up a bookshop in the little village, thanks to an inheritance. It's wonderful, being surrounded by books and all she loves, however, there are other things she needs to consider as a businesswoman, like plans, and finance, and she'd rather not.
Then she meets, or rather collides with Dennis, a visitor to the area, and grandson of the legendary potty-mouthed Vi, and her world is turned a bit on its side.
This is a cute, easy read of a romance, with its fair share of trials, as Nancy struggles to trust, as does Dennis. And all the while, everyone else knows what is staring them both in the face.
I loved visiting the Bay again, meeting new characters, and catching up with others we'd met, previously, too.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an ARC.

The Bookshop at the Corning Cove

What could be better than opening a bookshop in a Cornish seaside town. This is what dreams are made of and that is exactly what Nancys dream was.
Driftwood bay is the location for this little bookshop. Driftwood bay gives off vibes of happy family holidays in Cornwall. When reading these books I can't help but reminisce about times I've spent in Cornwall with my parents as I was growing up. Of beautiful family seaside holidays. Imagine living there and owning a bookshop. That really is what dreams are made of.
Nancy has such a dream. Opening her own bookshop in the village of Drifwood. bay. How well the shop does may just depend on a total stranger. Maybe Nancy hasn't realised what is involved in running her own business but with help she certainly learns how to do it and do it well.

Heartwarming, cozy, fun. Its like a big hug in a book. Easily a one read book because you lose track of anything else around you.

I'm not sure if these authors actually realise when writing their books how much of an impact they can have on people. In a very dark place personally, this book was exactly what I needed. I needed to feel good, I needed to smile, This book helped me do that. And with all of this authors books I always find there is an underlying message. like -life is too short. If you want something - go for it. They are thought provoking. They are just what you need when you feel rubbish or just what I needed.
Bravo another superb read. Although part of a series you could read any of these books as a stand alone. I would advise though that you read all of them.
I would not hesitate to recommend this book.

This was a simple, fun, easy and quick read. The perfect type of book for your holiday, beach, pool kind of read. This is a first for me by the author and one I enjoyed and I would read more of their work. The book cover is eye-catching and appealing and would spark my interest if in a bookshop. Thank you very much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

Reading a Kim Nash book is like sitting by a roaring fire with a mug of hot chocolate, chatting to a friend. They're all such heartwarming, cosy reads. I love the fictional setting of Driftwood Bay and the wonderful cast of characters. Nancy's bookshop sounds amazing and I love her 'can do' attitude. Recommended.

Can I go live in Driftwood Bay? I would love to be living Nancy’s dream, or most of it. I love the characters and this story is wonderful. I wish Nancy and Dennis the best. I hope we have a new book from this Author very soon. Read this book and the previous books if you haven’t already. Thanks to NetGalley, Boldwood Books and the Author for allowing me to read and review this book.
