I am really enjoying this series of novels by this author - they are always a light and fun read. Perfect holiday material in my opinion.

A glorious summer read that is perfect for fans of Veronica Henry, Jill Mansell and Carole Matthews, Jennifer Bohnet’s The Little Kiosk By The Sea is the next best thing to a holiday!

Poor Sabine’s plate is full to bursting at the moment. If she doesn’t come up with a foolproof plan to keep her little kiosk, she could end up losing everything! Sabine must use all of her time, energy and resources to save her establishment, however, she has a pretty huge distraction threatening to veer her off course – her best friend Owen who seems to be unable to stop badgering her with marriage proposals! But what should Sabine do? Should she say yes to Owen’s proposal? Or should she look for happiness elsewhere?

Thirty years ago, scandal and shame had driven Harriet away from Dartmouth. Having vowed never to return back ever again, nobody was more shocked than Harriet when she received news of an inheritance that could change her entire life. Going back after all this time, Harriet wonders whether she is ready to lay old ghosts to rest…or whether some secrets will simply refuse to stay buried…

A year ago, Rachel’s world had smashed to smithereens. Heartbroken and dejected, Rachel never thought she’d ever know happiness ever again. Finding love was definitely not on the agenda for Rachel, but it seems that Lady Luck and the sleepy little seaside town had other ideas in store for her…

Will these three women find what they’ve been searching for for so long? Or will disappointment rear its ugly head ever again? Whatever happens, Sabine, Harriet and Rachel are going to have a summer they will not easily forget…

Jennifer Bohnet is a terrific writer of women’s fiction who writes involving, captivating and mesmerizing stories that hold readers in thrall. The Little Kiosk By The Sea is a terrific tale featuring characters that are believable and real and that leap from the page from the off and will linger in the reader’s mind long after the last page is turned. An addictive read that I highly recommend, The Little Kiosk By The Sea is a wonderful summer read from a writer set to become a huge reader favourite: Jennifer Bohnet!

Oh look, another beach side book. This is another that has sat on my tbr shelf since last year and why on earth did i wait so long? Step into Dartmouth, and everyone is familiar with the little kisok by the sea - run by the lovely Sabine but this year it's different, the council want to close it down. Not only that, Sabine has the constant question of marriage hanging over her from her close friend Owen.

Next up is Harriet, she has to return to her home after thirty years away after a major scandal hit. Things are not as simple as they seem and the news could shake everything her whole family held dear. Especially as the news centres around her daughter.

Finally there is also Rachel - an incomer who has pretty much kept herself to herself, but as relationships bloom - is she really all she seems? Ones thing for sure, not everything is as clear cut as we often presume.

The Little Kisok By The Sea is a wonderful read, there is plenty of characters to learn all about - they all have their own stories, pasts and quirks and it makes for a delightful read getting to know them, i sometimes struggle when their is alot of characters but these ones were so likeable it made it so much easier to handle.

The coming together of all the characters makes for the main focus of the narrative but, we spend alot of time learning about each of them over the summer season, and as the season draws to a close - can things be fixed?

I loved this book not only because its my favourite type of read but because i really felt like i connected with every single character i met, and wanted to spend time with them, there is a real sense of community and it really does warm your heart to read.
