Following heartbreak, Zoe Russell found a haven in Conwenna Cove. As the owner of the village diner and a volunteer for the local greyhound sanctuary, she’s happy with her peaceful life.

Zoe bought the diner and moved to the cove to escape her past. Nate is leaving the cove to go off and travel. They have both lived there for years, but never really got to know each other, and once they do there is chemistry they can't ignore.
Both are character who are likeable and you want a happy ending for them.

It is nice that characters from the previous books are included in the story line too.

Thanks to Canelo and NetGalley for a copy of this book. An excellent light read. A romantic tale told in a lovely setting. The storyline is interesting and the book has many interesting characters whose stories are woven into that of the main heroine and hero. Recommend this book to any lover of this genre who wants to sit down and have a relaxing read for a few hours.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Zoe is plodding along in life no friends, family or man dragged down by her history. Until she mates Nate who opens her eyes to love but he is planning on travelling the world. Can he persuade Zoe to make a go of it?

Reading the Conwenna Cove books is like meeting up with friends. I love their relationships and progress and this was a perfect read.

Looking for something which I knew I would enjoy - following a few days illness - Darcie Boleyn's forthcoming novel just leapt up off my tbr list. Forever at Conwenna Cove did not disappoint; but then, this author never does!

It's a joy to be back in Conwenna Cove for the summer sunshine. My last visit was during the crisp and snowy winter following the story of Grace and Oli. This time round, readers get to know surfer Nate much better. He is a free spirit with no shortage of females lusting after him but has never fallen in love and has plans to travel the world. Before departing on his trip, he decides to run a second fundraiser for the greyhound sanctuary. When he seeks help from local businesses to sponsor the event, he gets to know Zoe Russell, owner of Zoe's Diner, just that little bit better and there is no denying the spark of attraction between them. But with her reticence to get involved, an obvious secret in her past, and his travel plans, who knows where it will all lead?

This novel has so much happening and lots of intertwining stories. Life in Conwenna - as in all our worlds - is never straightforward and this author writes beautifully, penning believable tales with realistic characters. With lots of ups and downs and plenty of laughs this is an uplifting read, and a fitting third book in this series. I've been completely transported to a sunny beach with light breezes and yummy treats - and after the winter we have suffered it did me good! This is a read to sink into and let the location wash over you whilst getting to know the inhabitants, dreaming their dreams and hoping their hopes. A fabulous summer novel!

My thanks to publishers Canelo for pre-approving my copy via NetGalley. This is my honest, original and unbiased review.

I've read and enjoyed the previous books in this series and was pleased to receive an ARC for the latest book. It's a very pleasant and easy book to read. Conwenna Cove would be an ideal place to live. I look forward to more books in this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the copy.

I have never been disappointed when reading a novel by this author - and it didn't start here! This novel was stunningly beautiful and so, so well written. As always, I feel that the cover is so pretty and the stunning landscape and beach just draw you straight in. I've really enjoyed every Conwenna Cove novel so I was so pleased that there was another one!

As well as the cover, the fact that this novel is so focused on one dog: the greyhound, was something that made me want to read it even more. In all of the Conwenna Cove series, there has been some involvement with the helping of the greyhounds and this just speaks to me on so many levels. I absolutely adore Greyhounds so I really, really loved this part of the novel. It just added that little extra something to the storyline which made it feel so heartwarming.

The story this time round focuses more on surfer Nate and the lovely Zoe. The pair bond over a charity event which Nate wants to throw to give something back for all what the community has done for him. As they plan the event together, there is no denying the spark between them - it's sizzling! But there's a big question looming over both of them - Can Zoe trust a man again? And does Nate want to get in too deep with someone even though he plans on travelling the world?

I loved this novel and I'm really sad that this is the last one in the Conwenna Cove series! The novels have been incredibly emotional but beautifully written - I didn't want to put it down. It was amazing to be back in Conwenna Cove again for the last time and I enjoyed getting to know these characters as well as hearing a little bit about the past ones. Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.

Even though Conwenna Cove is a relatively small town in Cornwall, it does not mean everyone knows everyone else, although, they know who they are. In this visit to Conwenna Cove we learn about Zoe. She moved there after a difficult episode in her life. Using the money left to her by her parents, she purchased and now runs the local diner. She recently lost her beloved adopted greyhound and is afraid to give her love to anyone or anything. In the other books in this series we met Nate. He is the local heartthrob, surfer dude and works at his uncle's cafe. He is getting ready to travel the world, but wants to run the fundraiser for the Greyhound Shelter before he leaves. This is where he runs into Zoe. He is meeting with local business people to ask for their support. He knows who Zoe is, but when he actually meets and talks to her, he realizes there is something more to her than he initially thought. Although reluctant to make a commitment due to his impending departure, he cannot resist her. She is dealing with her past and her reluctance to open up to anyone. Will these two be able to connect romantically? We meet up with many of the same characters I have grown to know and love in this series. It is a nice enjoyable read, comfortable, with romance, friendships, camaraderie of small towns and the magic of animals. I recommend this read to anyone who enjoys a good, clean romance that is very realistic, as well as animal lovers. You do not need to have read any of the others in this series to enjoy this book. I have come to enjoy Darcie Boleyn's books and look forward to the next one she has coming out.

This is the first book that I have read by Darcie Boleyn but I will surely be reading many more because I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found that the prologue and earlier sections of the book to be a little confusing and only really understood their context when I was half way into the book. I was also confused at first by the term Diner for the café and wondered whether I had been mistaken about the setting for the book being in Cornwall and not in the US where this is a more usual term!
Following a broken marriage and an accident, Zoe escapes to Conwenna Bay where she establishes the diner and volunteers for the local greyhound sanctuary. Her life becomes much happier and more peaceful.

The other prominent person in this story is Nate, a local surfer who also has an unsettled background, to say why would give the story away. He has plans to leave Conwenna to go travelling and see the world. Before departing he decides to organise an event to raise funds for the local greyhound sanctuary. Nate approaches Zoe to help with the event an unexpected relationship develops between them and its the development of this relationship within the wider context of the Connwenna community that draws you in and had me reading well into night.
This is the third book in a series about Conwenna Bay, when I had finished this book I immediately bought the second in the series ' Summer at Conwenna Bay', reading this gave me more insights into the wider local community and introduced me to more depth about some of the characters that appeared in the series. I then reread 'Forever at Conwenna Bay' and enjoyed it more the on the second reading because I had greater insights into the wider context of the series. I am saving the treat of the first book in the series 'Christmas at Conwenna Bay' for a later date or if it appears as a daily deal on Amazon. if you like dogs you will certainly enjoy these books which centre on people who share a love of dogs in their life!!!!
