The Bookshop at the Cornish Cove by Kim Nash

Dare to dream big…

When Nancy opened her dream bookshop overlooking the golden sands and shimmering waters of Driftwood Bay, she may have taken on a little too much. She might know all about books, but doesn’t know the first thing about business! She did however, want to do something meaningful with the inheritance money she got from her beloved Aunty Theresa.

When Dennis, visiting grandson of one of her dearest friends, offers to help, Nancy knows she can’t say no. Dennis is a high-flying businessman, with a fancy London job and a successful banking portfolio to prove it.

Trouble is, he makes the worst first impression. Nothing short of an insufferable know-it-all, Dennis takes every opportunity to remind her how out of her depth she is.

But Nancy knows her strengths, and just as much as she needs Dennis, he needs her too. There’s plenty she can teach him, and the more she shows off her world of Driftwood Bay, where the pace of life is slower and the morning sunrises are the most beautiful thing you can witness, perhaps they could become more than just business partners?

An utterly gorgeous romantic read set by the beautiful Cornish coast, perfect for fans of Phillipa Ashley and Heidi Swain

Our Review

There are so many things that are absolutely gorgeous about this book, the title for one, the cover, Driftwood Bay and this cosy little bookshop.

Nancy is a lovely character but not so good in the business department so it's no surprise to discover that her idyllic bookshop, her life's dream come true, is not doing so well in the financial sense.

Enter Dennis, her friend Vi's grandson who is a bit of a stuffy accountant type it seems. He certainly doesn't impress Nancy either with his choice of words or actions however she does think he's a bit of a hunk despite all that.

Nancy has an official launch party coming up and needs all hands on deck and Dennis appears to be just the man for the job. Once they begin to understand each other their working relationship becomes a whole lot easier, that is until someone causes trouble for them further down the line.

I really loved Nancy and her little hobby of painting shells and felt she so deserved a happy ending. I felt as though I was in the bookshop with her alot of the time as it sounded like such a lovely place to be. I'd already fallen in love with Driftwood Bay from reading Kim's other books so it was exciting to pop back for a visit to see how everyone was getting on.

I really enjoyed the relationship that Nancy had with her brother, the easy way they spoke to and tormented each other was such a joy and showed another dimension to Nancy's character, it also provided lots of humour in the book as well as sentimentality and family loyalty.

Packed with friendship, romance, (I mean what could be more romantic than meeting in a bookshop,) and a cast of interesting characters, this book is a perfect, uplifting and cosy read to get you through the long cold winter nights. I thoroughly recommend but I guarantee you will be wanting to open a bookshop of your own.

Sincerely
