Please note that this book is not for me - I have read the book, However I had to DNF and because i do not like to give negative reviews I will not review this book fully - there is no specific reason for not liking this book. I found it a struggle to read and did not enjoy trying to force myself to read this book.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused and thank you for the opportunity to read this book

Thank you to Avon for my copy of this book via Netgalley. This is the final part in the Ottercombe Bay series.

In this final part, all the mysteries that have been weaved throughout this series are uncovered. There's quite a lot packed into only 98 pages. There is a very tense moment that had me on the edge of my seat.

There's lots of romance in this final section. Bella's writing is heartwarming and full of humorous moments. This is a nice easy read and it was lovely to see Daisy get her happy ending and there were a few other characters that I was rooting for too.

This was a great series and I can't wait to read more of Bella's series in the future!

When I started reading this series I wasn't a massive fan of Daisy but she has grown on me a lot and I will miss her now I've finished this book, the last in the four part series!

I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting the different characters and watching their friendships grow and develop and I know I had the ending I wanted for Daisy in my head so I am delighted with how the book finishes.

Definitely one of the nicest series of books I have read in a while, very easy to read and very relaxing - I really wish I could visit!

Five stars from me for this one - the perfect end to and excellent series!

This series has been published as a 4 part series. This is part 4.
A good introduction to this author with interesting character's and plot.

My Review: 4/5

I’m new to this series. Ottercombe Bay – Shaken and Stirred is the fourth and final book in the series. My only regret with reading this book, is I wish I would have started from the beginning! Although the author does a great job of filling in the holes of what happened in the previous stories, I wish I experienced the story from the very beginning.

Pushing that aside, part four is a great book and a perfect conclusion. All ends are nicely tied together leaving the reader with zero questions. There is a little bit of everything, mystery, chick lit, and romance in this series.

There is a great deal of chemistry and strong presence between all of the characters, from Daisy and her Aunt Coral, to Daisy and Max. Even Coral’s dog has presence! The moments with Bug made me laugh out loud.

This was a very quick read, which will make it easy if you want a good, cozy book to read on your weekend getaway. Which is just what I’m going to do on my road trip later this month…read the past three books! It will make you laugh and cry, and leave you with a satisfied smile on your face.

***Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

A great final installment to the series. These books were lovely light reads with a feel good to them. Glad Locos will continue to trade and that Daisy will be returning to Ottercombe Bay.

I liked this series, I was sad to know there wouldn't be any more tales of Daisy, Max and all the friends and family in this small Devon town. Daisy has to either accept the story of how her mother died and stay in town or pick up her backpack and resume her wandering ways after her year of staying in one place. All 4 parts of this series are available in one volume, Coming home to Ottercombe bay. This is a nice, funny series that has a young woman learning to accept her past and forgive those who tried to protect her. I would recommend reading the first 3 books before starting this bone. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Last book of the Ottercombe Bay series but not the least! I really enjoyed reading the 4 books of the series. I found this part 4 the best part of all them! The more you go into the series the better it becomes even if it's already addictive from part 1! I can say today that Bella Osborne is among my favorite authors and I can't wait to read her next book! I really recommend you the Ottercombe Bay series! you won't be disappointed! It's full of events, mysteries to be solved and romance!

I loved this book and eagerly awaited the next segment of the story.

A surprise inheritance, lovely cast of characters, gorgeous location and a pug named Bugsy Malone make this a brilliant read. I was engrossed from part 1 and really loved the whole book.

Highly recommended - perfect holiday read or sunday afternoon on the sofa.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

The final instalment of the Ottercombe Bay series. This part (4) sums up the rest of the series and follows Daisy as she continues her adventure back at Ottercombe Bay. A light hearted read, entertaining and a great conclusion.

I loved this entire series. I am sad to see it end. This is the 4th and final in the series. Its delightful, visually stunning and humorous. The charcters are all people you would want as friends and neighbors. Each book in the series is delightful.
Thank you for this final read in a fantastic series. Well done to the author.

Gelungener Abschluss dieser reizenden Serie. Die Beschreibungen Devons wirken so lebendig, als wäre man dort.
Alle Fragen und losen Enden werden aufgeklärt. Wirklich schade, dass dies der letzte Band ist.

Bella Osborne definitely saved the best for last with Ottercombe Bay Part 4 Shaken and Stirred.

Daisy is coming to the end of her year in Ottercombe Bay which means she can collect her inheritance, put the bar up for sale and head off on her travels. But will she? Part 4 of this series features plenty of drama, secrets being shared and truths being told.

A lovely read that will leave you feeling warm inside.

Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books UK and the author for the chance to review.

Daisy is reaching the end of her enforced year in Ottercombe Bay and will she stay or will she go? Has she finally solved the problem of her mother's locket and will love keep her here?

A great ending to the series with all the loose ends tied up - I loved Daisy and her journey and really enjoyed the whole series - definitely a good beach/summer read as will all books by Bella Osborne

Review: This is a lovely finish to the four-part series, which I was lucky enough to have it sent to me. I cannot praise this book highly enough. Bella Osbourne has really created a brilliant novel here and I cannot wait to read it again when it is released as a whole book. 

Ottercombe Bay (Part two and Part three) by Bella Osbourne

Shaken and Stirred is the final part in this wonderful series.

This is definitely my favourite part in the series, it was just so good! It's got plenty of romance in this last part and you finally finding out the mystery of her mother's death. It is such a sweet small town read that is perfect summer reading. Being as it's a 4 part series I would 100% recommend reading the first three parts you won't be let down such a satisfying conclusion! Definitely be buying the full novel when it is released this year.

5☆ A Heartwarming Series, The Perfect End

Part 4...Shaken and Stirred the final part.
I have absolutely adored the Ottercombe Bay series but it was with a heavy heart I read the final instalment.

I don't want to give anything away as part 4 really does tie up all the lose ends to the stories Bella has weaved within the book.

So many wonderful characters you are wishing for a happy ending.
With a good sparkle of romance and mystery will Daisy ever truly be happy, and will she gain her inheritance now she has been in Ottercombe Bay for a year. Will she stay or Will she run away?
Will Daisy ever discover the truth about her mother's death and her mysterious necklace.

If there is one series you decide to read this year then let it be the Ottercombe Bay series.
I adore Bella's books her characters are always so real and her writing style is always so engaging, compelling and entertaining.
This series really is the perfect escape from reality.
I can't recommend it enough.

This is the fourth and final part in the serial drama called ‘Ottercombe Bay’. I have had the distinct pleasure of reading and reviewing each and every one. I loved the three previous parts of the story and this fourth part is no exception. I totally and utterly loved it but more about that in a bit.
The focus of the story is a young lady called Daisy Wickens. She returns to Ottercombe Bay to attend the funeral of her great uncle. This final part of the serial sees Daisy approaching the end of her stay in Ottercombe Bay and she makes plans to leave. To claim her inheritance from her great uncle’s estate, Daisy has to spend a certain length of time in Ottercombe Bay. Daisy has opened the gin cocktail bar and it is doing rather well. Daisy is one feisty and determined young lady and she doesn’t like being told what to do. Daisy also doesn’t like being lied to, which has led her into conflict with Max. Max is Daisy’s prospective love interest. The pair of them really do flirt with each other but for some reason they don’t seem too keen to get together. That is until there is an ‘incident’ , which leads to a terrifying situation and it is only then that Daisy realises what she stands to lose if she doesn’t tell Max how she feels. At times I must admit that I wanted to shake her by her shoulders and tell her to open her eyes. The man is potty about her as she is about him. Daisy finds out more about the circumstances in which her mother died and to say some of the details come as a shock is an understatement. Will Daisy stay in Ottercombe Bay after her enforced stay is at an end? Will Daisy and Max get together? Well for the answers to those questions and more you are just going to have to read the book for yourselves to find out as I am not going to tell you.
As soon as I picked up this book, I really did feel as though I had reunited with old friends. It didn’t take me long at all to get into the story and familiarise myself with the characters, the gorgeous sounding Ottercombe Bay and the lovely sounding cocktails that Daisy serves in the bar. In fact the cocktails sounded that nice that I found myself wanting to order one but then realised that I couldn’t because the bar was fictional. From the moment I started reading, I was hooked on the book and swept along by the story. The pages seemed to fly by in a blur as did the time and I didn’t realise what was happening until I got to the end of this part of the book. I usually have the attention span of a gnat but not in this case as I was able to shut out all other distractions because my sole focus was this part of the book. The author’s writing style is such that you can’t fail to be drawn into the story. By the time I had finished reading this book I really did feel as though I had been through the emotional wringer. By the time I finished the book I was left with a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart.
In conclusion I have to say that this last part of the book has to be my favourite part of the book. All the storylines come together and the story ends in such a perfect way. I would definitely recommend this book and this author to other readers. I can’t wait to read what comes next from Bella Osborne. Here’s hoping that we don’t have too long to wait. The score on the Ginger Book Geek is a well deserved 5* out of 5*.

What a satisfying conclusion to the Ottercombe Bay series. Daisy is still in Ottercombe Bay for her required year to be able to inherit the railway station from Uncle Reg. She lives with Aunt Coral while there and her Aunt's persnickety dog, Bug. This book is another by Bella Osborne. In this book she keeps it real again having the characters have realistic conversations and situations . When her old boyfriend comes back trying to restart a relationship we see he is not what he portrays himself to be as he is involved in a crime and is just using Daisy. As Daisy talks to her friends and Aunt family secrets come to life that may have been best to have been kept in the dark when Daisy feels so hurt and betrayed. Ghosts of the past being resurrected are so hurtful. As Daisy's gin bar is up and running with success is this what Daisy has in mind for a long term lifestyle? A bit of a British mystery surrounds this book as it finally answers all the questions and ties up all loose ends from the three previous books in the series. Enjoyed this series a lot. Fun reads!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Avon Books UK through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

Ottercombe Bay part four by Bella Osborne reaches a fabulous conclusion. Mysteries are solved. Old loves rekindled. And Bugsy is still centre stage.
Grief is still raw. Time does not heal but closure helps.
Good friendships, photo albums and highly amusing dialogue. Ottercombe Bay really has been a marvellous read. Really fun and light hearted to brighten any day.
I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.
