This was the perfect read for between Christmas and New Year when I was fighting off remnants of a bug and gloomy weather. Emmie's brave step at seizing happiness and her reflections on her relationship with her mum were written so beautifully and it was pure escapism to read about life on Siskin island. Her quest to discover more about a previously unknown secret her Mum had kept, brings more than Emmie could possibly have imagined.

I have read a few Beth Moran books so when I was given the opportunity to read and review this book I was made up.
Her stories always have such lovely characters you feel fully invested in, it’s a fab story with characters you love, don’t like so much and at times are very angry at! To make people feel that way through reading is an amazing skill. We meet Emmaline and Blossom who work at a little airport. Emmie has just lost her mum and we learn how she learns to live without her and find out things about her past.
Really recommend!

This book is about Emmie and some letters she finds while cleaning out her Mom’s stuff. It’s an easy to read book that I almost read in one day. It has some drama, secrets and romance. You won’t be able to put it down

A beautifully written story of lost love and secrets, family bonds and hope!

Emmie and her mother Nell has owned and worked the Parsley's Pastries at the Sherwood Airport for as long as she can remember.
After Nell passes away, Emmie discovers letters written by a man that she never knew Nell was married to, from the Isle of Siskin.

A chance meeting with Pip, and a longing for change, Emmie takes her first day off and her first flight to Siskin where her life is about to change forever.

A wonderful story and one that will keep you reading until finished!

Can Beth Nolan write a bad book? No. So I knew I would enjoy this one. It was a great, cozy, fast read. Was it a bit far-fetched, yes but it didn't take away from the overall storyline or plot. Thank you for the opportunity to read this arc.

A lovely cosy read from Beth Moran which I enjoyed immensely. A great storyline very well told and written superbly. A really good cast of characters, some you love, a couple not so much , but all fitted into their place in the story very well. Recommended.

Loved the setting, liked the characters, though I did think the story a little far-fetched. Would have liked the male and female lead characters to have more scenes together than they did. With thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Beth Moran can do no wrong! This was delightful, lovely, like a sweet, warm hug from your best friend.

*thank you to net galley for providing me with an e-arc in return of an honest review*

This was a lovely easy read, I love the message of taking chances, being brave and through that being able to find yourself. Had enough going on through the plot that I didn’t feel it to stale like I can with some romances. Loved the addition of the letter format into the story, found myself itching for the next one.

Absolutely amazing heartwarming story. Love the way the fmc grows and changes. Very gripping with twists and turns and romance.

Thank you Beth Moran, Boldwood books and Netgalley for the ARC

Easy reading, heart warming, cost read. Perfect for curling up by the fire on a Sunday day afternoon. Quite predictable and a little far fetched at times but not taxing to devour in a couple of days.

I really enjoyed this story of Emmie Brown. After her adopted Mom dies Emmie finds letters that says Nell was once married. Emmie continues to work the Kiosak selling pasties at the airport taking over for her Mom. This is where she meets PIp and agriculture student in town. She thinks she is falling for him. She decided to vacation in the area Pip is from. She is also looking for any any connection she can find out about Nell and boy does she. . See how this trip goes and if she ends up with Pip. A VERY GOOD READ.

A pleasantly surprising heart-warming story that is the perfect Winter read. I'm impressed with Beth Moran's writing and I look forward to reading many more books from her in the future.

Beth Moran is a breath of fresh air. Her books are truly heartwarming. This is my favorite so far! I loved how cozy and sweet this book was but also packed with good twists. You will leave the book smiling and better.

Such a lovely heartwarming story! Love Beth Moran books and this one was no exception. Had all the feels! A bab read

Beth Moran delivers yet another heartfelt and charming story in Have I Told You Lately. This delightful novel captures the intricacies of family, friendship, and the unexpected turns life often takes, all wrapped up in Moran’s signature warmth and humor.

The protagonist’s journey is both inspiring and relatable, as she navigates life’s challenges with resilience and a touch of vulnerability. Moran’s ability to craft complex, lovable characters shines through, making it easy to connect with their joys, struggles, and triumphs.

This was a brilliant story. So many twists and when I thought it was going to end it did not .Emmie worked at the airport running her mothers pasties kiosk. Her mum dies and suddenly thanks to her friend, a regular customer and some letters she finds her world is turned upside down . You will love it and a fab ending. I loved it . The pasties sounded yummy . Read it

A brilliant read loved it from the first page. Great story and loveable characters. A lovely heartwarming read

I adored this read from Moran. The plot takes a little while to get going but in a great way and I enjoyed the build up Moran gives to the plot. Then when the main plot gets going, I fell in love with the book even more. Siskin is a beautiful place to be transported to and I enjoyed getting to know its residents as well. This book has deception, loss and love at its heart and I relished every page of the book.
Nell is an outstanding character whom I quickly took to my heart and I loved following her throughout this book and the momentous journey she embarks upon.
Everything about this book was a pure delight, it is beautiful and emotional and I loved it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an advance copy.
