Loved this book! It’s summer sunshine in book form. This is simp,e and easy to read as well as being fun, enjoyable and warm hearted. Annie is trying to save her ancestral home with the help of her boyfriend Josh and a warm and funny cast of family and friends. You can really imagine being in .cornwall and it definitely makes you want to go to smell the salt, fell the sand and hear the gulls. Read it!

Review will be up on publication day

I have been wanting to read this novel ever since I heard that Liz would be releasing another one in the series. The cover is stunning (just like the rest of them), this one in particular - I adore the pink sky, gorgeous looking sandy beach, the lighthouse in the background - it all works so perfectly and is just so inviting.

I've enjoyed the past two Salt Bay novels so much that I actually feel a teensy bit jealous whilst reading them, it sounds like such a perfect place to live that I wish I could live somewhere like that! I love the main character Annie, she seems so lovely and I love that there is also humour in these novels. Where all the villagers are lovely, the scenery is stunning and life just seems perfect!

This is just what Annie thinks too, but after some not-so-lucky events take place, Annie feels let down and not-so-lucky with her life anymore. Everything seems to be going wrong, and it seems like a huge sign not to marry boyfriend Josh when a leaky roof ruins her wedding dress! However, the lovely community of Salt Bay all come together and I really, really enjoyed how this book ended.

I just find all of the characters really lovely and caring and not for the first time I find myself wishing I could live in a little tight-knit community like this. I found the Jennifer storyline a little intriguing as I really wasn't sure where it was going to go but there were some serious laugh-out-loud moments - I love Kayla! The setting of the book sounds absolutely gorgeous as well, and I was daydreaming about possibly visiting Cornwall for some time after finishing this novel!

Overall, another beautiful book to go in the Salt Bay series. I have a feeling this could be the final one in the series, but I'm hoping there's a spin off and we could possibly take a look into Kayla's life in more detail, maybe? I'm just not ready to leave Salt Bay yet! Thank you to Netgalley and to the publisher for a chance to read this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.

A very easy and enjoyable story to read. The story of Annie who clearly loves her aunt and where she lives and the sad story of her aunts passing and the possible loss of the house to "nasty cousin" Toby. Its clear from the lightness of the story that all will end well in the end but its a really nice read. I'm sorry I hadn't read the previous book which talks about how Annie came to be living there!

This is the 3rd book in a series, and had I known that, I probably wouldn't have chosen to request it to review. But I'm so glad I didn't do my research before requesting it, because it was a fun, enjoyable read. Set in a seaside Cornish town that I'd love to visit, the book is centered on Annie, her friends and family, her relationship with her boyfriend Josh, and the challenges they all face trying to keep their ancestral home. I liked the wit and humor in this story, along with the likable, realistic characters and what is described as a lovely village setting. I pictured the scenery in Doc Martin, which is filmed in Cornwall. My only regret is not having read the first two books, but this can definitely be a stand-alone book. I will certainly be reading the other books in this series, to read more about how Annie's life led her to the events in this book. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a nice, family story, a romance, or books set in England.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Annie Trebarwith has inherited her family home on the cliffs of Cornwall, and if that isn’t enough to celebrate over, her handsome boyfriend has just proposed to her. But a sudden and violent summer storm causes irreparable damage to the old house. Annie and Josh have no way of paying for the repairs, let alone their wedding. Luckily the residents of the little coastal community will band together to help the young couple they’ve taken under their wing. This is a lovely story of community and friends, both old and new

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the Publisher, Bookouture, for this review copy which was given in exchange for an honest review. Also thank you to Noelle from Bookouture for organising the Blog Tour.

This is the third book in the Salt Bay series. It can be read as a standalone, but it does have references to previous books so I would recommend reading the others first. For information, it is set in the fictional seaside village of Salt Bay in Cornwall.

The instalment of the series brings us back to Salt Bay and Annie Trebarwith. Annie’s family home of Tregavara House begins to suffer from the effects of the stormy Cornish weather and it looks like Annie and her boyfriend, Josh, are facing a huge bill to repair the ancient cottage. This makes Annie wonder whether Salt Bay could be her forever home or will they need to consider moving out of the village. Josh has also been thinking of their future and pops the question! Can they afford to save Tregavara House or will the wedding have to be put on hold.

Welcome back Annie! How nice it is to be back in Salt Bay with Annabella Sunshine Trebarwith. I love this series so far and this one is no exception! If you’ve read the other two books, you’ll know the story of Annie and how she was summoned to Salt Bay by her Great Aunt Alice. Annie’s character has come on leaps and bounds over the last two books and it’s lovely to see her settled in this book with the love of her life, Josh. There are still plenty of my favourite characters here, with some new ones thrown in.

As usual, the book is full of love and laughs. There are also some tears thrown in for good measure and it is heart-breaking to lose one of my favourite characters. Whilst you know there’s always going to be a happy ending, it’s a lovely story to get to it!! I also love the little epilogue at the end of two years later, but it does make me wonder if this is the last of the series. Whilst, if it is, it’s ended on such a wonderfully written story, I shall be so disappointed to not have any more of Annie’s adventures!

Thank you to the author, it’s been fantastic!

This is my first book by this author and now want to read her others as such an excellent read with great characters and story line didn't realise it was part of a series now want to read the others so much. Such a Devine read and such a simple read full of romance and set in beautful Cornwall what more could you ask for. Has you laughing in places but will it end happily ever after or not but when families are involved it never runs soomthly.
Annie has been caring for her great aunt in Cornwall in a beautful village but when she passes away and she is left her house which is very run down she is very surprised but she loves the house so much as set on a cliff top at salt bay. Could it be her forever home or not. Sadly someone else in the family thinks he will get the house but instead he gets a painting width thousands. Josh has been going out with Annie for some time and he drops down on one knee and asks Annie to marry him and she says yes. One summer night there village has a bad storm and Annie's house is in a bad state of repair and the storm damage she the roof badly and Annie is worried as they can't afford to repair it so suggests selling it back to the family memeber who wants it but it still not what she wants to do. She also says they will have to delay the wedding but other people have other ideas and say it can go ahead. While at the wedding her dad gives her a surprise present and can it help save the house or is it past that now. She has ideas before she thinks of selling her house of changing it to a b&b and gaining money that way but does it all work out a shame planned or not.
Amazing read just can't put it down just a Devine read highly recommend this book.
