Love at the Little Wedding Shop by the Sea is the first book I have read in this series. Even though it is number five, I had no trouble following the story or becoming immersed in Milla’s tale.
This book is such a feel-good story. The setting is delightful, making me wish I could visit the area. The author writes with a beautiful, descriptive style that helps you visualize every scene.
Friendship is as much a theme as romance in this book. I found that to be exceptionally refreshing. Everyone deserves a set of friends like Milla’s.
The banter between Nic and Milla is romantic comedy at its best. This style makes the pages just fly by while you are anticipating what will happen next.
I recommend this book to all lovers of fun and flirty romantic comedy. As soon as I find an extra bit of reading time, I’ll be going back to read the earlier books in the series.
I received a review copy of this book. The review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
What a delightful, charming little book! It’s filled with all the things I love….romance, emotion, and friendship!
Poor Milla has had a terrible time of it lately. She has lost her fiance to her friend and business partner. To top it off, her so-called friend has just given birth to a baby with her ex. She definitely needs some time away, so she returns home to recharge. She has no clue how that one decision will change the direction of her life, both professionally and personally.
Not only is this a romance, but the theme of friendship and support is seen throughout. Milla’s tribe, including Nic have helped her heal and learn to love herself. Even though she feels like she hasn’t helped Nic’s tortured soul, she really has. Is that enough for them to find their HEA? I sure did enjoy watching them fall for each other even if they didn’t realize it at the time.
I have read a couple of other books in the series, but you don’t have to read the others to understand what is happening in this one. I love the way Linfoot writes. She puts you right in the story she is telling, and I felt like I was a part of the group. The setting is so beautiful and descriptive. I could see the charming town and even smell the salt in the air. It is a great little book to take you away from reality for a while!
Favorite Quotes:
I know if Ben were the last guy in the world on a desert island, I’d actually have to make a boat and leave. And that’s saying a lot from me, who came bottom of the class in woodwork.
‘…we’re desperate for your input with the Faceplant side.’ Poppy stifles a smile. ‘That’s Jess’s affectionate name for Facebook.’
Once your eyes are open to the possibilities of super-hot, lukewarm doesn’t get a look in.
Nic’s young-at-heart Great Auntie Di was very grateful for the sewing kit in the emergency basket I had tucked away in the downstairs cloakroom. A few stitches and some safety pin reinforcement was all it took to make her look like an on-trend seventy-nine-year-old again, rather than a teenager on the pull.
It could have been worse, at least they weren’t playing naked Twister.
My Review:
Jane Linfoot has become one of my favorite people, she is certain to be my favorite person of the month, as I adored this book from beginning to end. The storylines were entertaining as well as insightfully observant and cleverly amusing while her character development was simply stellar. I reveled in their banter and thoughtfulness of each other. I admired Milla’s evolution and smirked at her propensity for creating a bit of chaos as she appears to be more than a bit of a Calamity Jane and destined to be plagued with funny little disasters, despite her best efforts and good intentions. These were endearing and lovable people whom I would enjoy spending time with and knowing well. I look forward to delving into this series again and again for more antics and bridal adventures to keep Poppy’s busy eyebrow wagging.
